Treat yourself to some shows when they come back. Also, travel and have a pinball road trip. The Hall of Fame in Las Vegas is an easy one. The flights are cheap in and out of there all day long and there isn't much cheaper entertainment in that town than the Hall of fame. Other shows will focus on different things. Some shows that focus on the older games are clay's spot up in Ann arbor, the San Francisco shows, and Allentown. You'll meet new friends that you never knew you had and you might even get invited to a local party or to see someone's Private collection while you're there.
Now, if you really want to dive deep, go to expo in chicago. Not only do you get to play all of these great games, new and old, but you may also get to meet your pinball heroes as well! The Stern tour is always a blast and gary, if he's around, is a gracious host.Whatever you do, wherever you go, enjoy the journey and live the best pinball life you can!
if you ever come around the Colorado way, let me know and I'll do what I can to give you the tour.
