    I'm bringing my wife this time (we're from AK)- we've already got plane tickets and hotel room paid up.

    I volunteered for several things on the site, but not sure if I need to buy a ticket also? I assume if I'm not needed as a volunteer for the events I'm signed up for, I'll need to get a ticket?

    Suggestions?

    I would like to see a wider selection of craft beers at the event, and for the education seminars, would love to have more time with the experienced repair people - loved to listen to John's Jukes guy. Would love to hear tips on running your own tournament as well as some 'chart' that could be used to host pingolf tournaments. I know the pingolf tournaments on-site had scoring charts, and think I know how to make my own (four players varying skills, average results) - but would be great if there were a 'master' available to use for our own small tourneys in AK!

    Games there were fantastic, the few 'really' old ones were having trouble to keep running, EMs were mostly great, and really enjoyed the late 70s and early 80s vids. Really liked the army of techs on-site to fix the games!

    Quoted from DumbAss:

    There is a "junior medic" position. If you're interested in repair but lack qualifications or experience then sign up for this. You will increase your experience over the 3 days.

    Yes, I'm signed up as a junior medic. Not sure what qualifications or experience I need, but I have fixed my own pins for a few years now, and several "good deals" I've gotten from outsiders. I'm ok with being a Junior medic

    Well I'm excited to go again this year. Even bringing extra money to possibly pick up a game!

    We bought plane tickets and hotel reservations, I don't want to try to get our money back!

    Dang, I was hoping that June we would be out of it, but doesn't seem like it now. We'll be back next year.

    Alaska Airlines (because we bought the super saver tickets) wants $125/each to cancel - as of now they'd waive the fee if the trip was from now until the 31st of May, but since we missed the cut-off we're out. They might change the cut-off, and I'm hoping for a great show next year after we're over this crud.

    Thank you for letting us know! nwpinball
