Quoted from cjchand:
Counting the days...
Are there any specific off-site plans for meetups, etc ala the GameExchange meetup at TPF?
Also, any suggestions for pinball nearby? Joystix looks cool, but seems it's an event-oriented venue ("We are NOT and arcade. We are open to the public for game-play only twice a month for our Pac-Man Fever events").
Glad you are coming.
Houston's notoriously tough to get around - it's just a giant freaking city, and going from where you are to where you want to be isn't always easy, and never quick, so pinballmap is a good resource for you - it's kept pretty up to date by the folks around here. In general, Einsteins Pub in Katy is a great call, they have a fantastic pinball collection - it's not too far from the expo, but as mentioned above there is a (sold out) event scheduled for Thursday night. The Game Preserve in Spring has a good collection from all time periods - it's a pay to enter place - 15 bucks to play all you can, but they close fairly early during the week, so that might not be ideal.
hope you enjoy your trip -
