    ^ Come across in Sarnia then. Ever since they split off the semis at the new border crossing, it's much easier for cars now...

    Quoted from pinwiztom:

    Any new T-shirt design in the plans?
    I got one from last year via post
    even though i was not able to attend.
    But hoping since i plan on packing light, when finally attending this show,
    i will have a new spare (clean) shirt to wear home.

    New shirts are up and available for pre-order!

    All,

    looking to trade my Escalera model MS-66 with the forklift and big wheel attachment.

    Everything works fine. It's just with the extra 1.5" of depth the fork channels add, I can't make the turn on the landing down into my basement.

    Looking to trade for a standard Escalera MS-66. Basically, we trade and you get the forks and big wheels for free!

    Will be able to swap at the VFW show in a few weeks, or could meet along the I-94 corridor between Ann Arbor and Madison, WI.

    Thanks,
    Eric V.

    For those that are offloading their tickets to third parties, please send us an email or PM with the name of whomever buys your ticket.
    We run the front door via name list from the ticket sales, and knowing the switch beforehand helps us run the entry more smoothly.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Quoted from RyanClaytor:

    If hearsay is correct, I heard that it was another build from Duncan Brown, of the "Lost Harry Williams" design, Typhoon, just a couple pins down that same row. There's an awe-inspiring and touching account of Typhoon's build over here on Duncan's site:
    http://backglass.org/williams/tlpdohw/expo2016/
    ^^^ A must read.

    Speaking of which, what did everyone think of the pencil art we added to the playfield?

    Thanks,
    EV

    Roger R did most of the heavy lifting....I added a few touches here and there. Hardest part was deciding how much or how little to add. We went with all pencil to try and maintain that "prototype" look, and so that if needed, we could erase it all and go back to whitewood.

    Quoted from Lefman:

    Well you're doing a great job Clay! Was our 2nd year in a row and plan to come every year! We got there around 1 on saturday & that front counter worker (Don't know his name), was super cool!! Keep up the awesome work!!

    That would be me. I've run the front desk all three days of the show since the start, and will continue to do so indefinitely. Glad you enjoyed the show!

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Quoted from Pale_Purple:

    This is one of the best places to play pinball in the world, sad I'll miss the show this year. Anyone going to it and looking for some food in AA off the beaten path check out T-Maz for tacos. Open fairly late, never that packed, and always quick and pretty cheap food.

    Speaking of food, one of these just opened up across the street from Pete's;

    Good stuff, and not in the slightest bit even remotely resembling anything healthy.....
