Quoted from CraigC:I was thinking about bringing a bunch of junk, but I’m lazy and probably don’t have enough to run a booth.
I was thinking about getting a booth just to have a place to sit and store coolers. Group junk booth? But someone would always have to mind the store.
Quoted from Tsskinne:Anyone wants to bring a fat fat fat stack of Benjamin’s you can purchase Dragonfist after the tourney ends. And I mean fat!

My stack is only two fats. I should have bought all the cool Sterns when they were "cheap."

I lost track of how many $400-$500 meteors I passed on 8-10 years ago but now when I think about it I get that one slow rolling tear coming down my cheek like the Native American in that old commercial…

And I remember the commercial so well is seems like yesterday!

Do it!
This old man needs a place to rest his weary soul.

There’s always the car in the parking lot, that’s what I use. Taking advantage of the free parking!
Quoted from yancy:My stack is only two fats.
You could get a topper with that stack these days.

So we doing this? I’ll be about an hour later, but I’m in.

you can sit with me

Well I just may!
Latecomer to the vendor area, but we just want to support this great show!
The Regent Arcade recently transitioned to add a showroom. I have to be careful how I phrase this, but we will be bringing Stoner's 1938 Chubbie back for the free play area. 
It now has properly working backbox scoring and upgraded lighting thanks to Mike Schudel.
We will also be bringing Raven and a Krazy Bowl arcade for the free play area, and they will be for sale. On the showroom side we'll have a variety of cool barstools for 50% off and mini frefrigerators for $100 off list price. We only have two metal photo prints in stock for $95 - Doctor Who and Phoenix, but others can be ordered and custom shots can be taken of your machines.
We also have a bunch of autographed celebrity photos that would be cool with a Terminator or Star Trek machine (Arnold, Linda Hamilton, Shatner, etc.). Those prices vary, but I'll also bring a variety of others that I can price in the $20 range. Vintage Sports Illustrateds and empty collectible Wheaties boxes will be free, first come first served, with a reasonable limit.
Depending on the "flow of the show" I can bring more barstools as well as some working EM projects on Friday - Cabaret and Preview.
Looking forward to an awesome weekend! ~ Matt

Is Trident running an arduino with new code? I have one that I was thinking about bringing on Friday that has the new code.
Quoted from j_m_:if you get one yancy, have alex set it up next to my table and I can watch the items (on friday).
I can also assist with "watching the shop" if we are close to each other. I'll also probably be a good customer.

Yep with the wav trigger also
Unfortunately I became quite ill yesterday morning. And not that better today, so none of my games or myself will be attending today. Possibly tomorrow ... hopefully . So no gamatron, Halloween, Dr who, or JJP GNR. I was also supposed to work the tournament today from 2-5 , so if anyone wants to take a one hour slot or more there will be an opening
Quoted from mc8045:Yep with the wav trigger also
Really makes it a fun game, If your putting it in the freeplay area then I won't bother bringing mine
Quoted from pinballlife:Do it!

I'll have an extra chair for you as well and some refreshments if you want to stop by .
It's the least I can offer to you over the years you have help me and all of us out.
Thanks,

Yes you do! Excellent.
See you there.
First timer to the zoo event here. Wondering if most vendors are attending starting Friday+ or what the schedule of events are. If I go today will the free play floor and vendor tables be more empty than if I waited for Fri/Sat? Thanks for the insight.

Saturday is most full day (and busiest). A lot of people/vendors are still rolling in throughout the day on Friday, so depends on what time you get there. Thursday is opening day. If you can only make one day, Saturday would be my suggetion.

I appreciate the info. My days would be either today or Saturday. Sounds like waiting is the best option. However, what time do people start packing up on Saturday? I wouldn't be able to arrive until 2:30pm. Thanks again!

Auction starts at 3. That's usually the best time to go play games, since a bunch of people go to the auction area. Most people start packing up around 5-5:30, as the show ends at 6
I've got $2000 burning a hole in my pocket. I'll be there Saturday around 1pm. If anyone has an EM or early solid they're willing to sell. Hit me up and let's talk.
Show me what you got!
Email me at: [email protected] or PM through pinside
Quoted from Mr_Outlane:let me know if you want to sell it!
Before I put the new code in it I would of, but now I would rather play it than some of the newer Sterns.
Day 1 done! Here is what was there as of about 9:30pm

Quoted from zerbam:what!!!! no pictures of Dayhuffs corner???
Yep, someone bought ALL of his parts! Nothing left! No joke.

Surprised to see that old Atari football. Don’t see many of those around any more. I recently fixed mine and it is a surprisingly good game and a workout to play.
Quoted from marcand:Day 1 done! Here is what was there as of about 9:30pm
Thanks for the photos! Already a number of pins there I want to play. Planning to be there at opening tomorrow.
Quoted from crlush:Before I put the new code in it I would of, but now I would rather play it than some of the newer Sterns.
Me too!
Quoted from yancy:Operation mafia junk booth is underway.
I'm bringing all my crap for CraigC to sell for me.
Paybacks are a bitch

Fair enough!
Quoted from yancy:I was thinking about getting a booth just to have a place to sit and store coolers. Group junk booth? But someone would always have to mind the store.
While you and I do not see eye to eye much, this was an awesome idea. 4 guys, $25 ea, each bring a few things to sell and have a home base the entire show.
Quoted from LoPan:Who's going to hit up One Well this weekend too?
The wife & I are going Sat night after PATZ.
