I love the Pintastic summer show in new england. It's in Sturbridge MA the weekend after the 4'th of July. I'm fortunate that its only about 1 hour away from me. However if it was 8 hours away I'd still go since its a great show.
Show is attached to hotel, good food close by, lots of semimars, great pinball designers as guests, stuff for wives and kids, tournaments, tons of free prizes, great selection of old and new games, whats not to like?
