From a long time veteran in the hobby, I can't say enough good things about the show. Both Gabe and Derek are personable, easy to talk to GOOD GUYS, which made the whole experience even more pleasant- I'm so glad I know these guys!
And not to knock Allentown, because I love Pinfest, it's a tradition, but I loved this show even more and would love/welcome this as a new tradition.
With that said, I can't even begin to imagine the expense and dedication needed that was put into this show. Extremely impressive and just goes to show you how dedicated and passionate they are for the silverball.
My hat is off to the people of the Sanctum, who loaded 27 games!- everything they owned! to bring to the show and run a smooth tournament. Huge undertaking and back breaking work. They were dedicated and did a fantastic job.
Also my hat is off to everyone that brought a game or games to freeplay.
There was a lot to see and do at this show, the location was absolutely perfect, comfortable lodging, easy places to eat at. The after party was excellent, and many people just friendly having a good time, where everyone seemed to know everyone.
The flea market needs more people to come out, but this was okay! It will grow. There were several other aspects of the show that more than made up for it.
I'm really hoping the show is continued. The memories you make at a show like this are precious and I can't thank everyone involved enough.
Best, James
