This is awesome. I made it to the show for the first time last fall. It was fantastic. I like the website much more than texting personally. Texting felt like complaining when I am super understanding of how machines can have issues. This feels much more like a issue tracking system vs a personal text that your game is busted.

I was seriously impressed as well. It was a great event and collection. I am very appreciative to have that opportunity. I don't think they took it as complaints at all. More that it feels like complaining to me which is why I dig the website and qr code. Very cool.

Planning my road trip. Gonna end up being close to 30 hours and 1800 miles on the road for a day in Allentown and a day at the VFW. Worth it.

Hit me up! I will say that Allentown and the VFW are vastly different experiences. I like both. If I could only do one, I would put in the extra travel time and get to VFW. As Clay has mentioned, it may not go on forever. I hope to be in a good position to be able to attend for as long as it goes on.

Feel free to join us in the NFL thread, the gloating was mostly from Bengals fans this year

I am heading from Allentown Pinfest Friday night to do the VFW on Saturday. I will likely have room for a machine (outside chance for two if I don't get anything). Shoot me a message if you need a machine or parts moved. I have some other random odds and ends listed in the allentown thread as well if that interests anyone.

You missed out. I drove to Michigan just for this event and gladly dropped the 80 bucks. The place is amazing.

You may have missed the whole back building? Thats where a bunch more EM's, early solid states, Sonics, 6803's, etc are all back there.

Probably Dragonfist, but there are a ton that could be on the list.
