Quoted from fireball2:In baby. Bringing my Speakeasy.
Very cool... Haven't seen you in awhile!
I know there generally aren't a lot of games for sale, but I'll still be on the lookout.
The seminars are the best, too.
I'll be there, as will a bunch of my stuff. I hope.
Quoted from PismoArcade:I know there generally aren't a lot of games for sale, but I'll still be on the lookout.
What are you looking for? Maybe somebody will bring it.
Quoted from fireball2:Anybody know who brought that Title Fight last year? I was so sore after playing that machine all weekend. I want it.
Jim and TJ, I think. They have a lot of the weirder Gottlieb stuff now.
I'll be there. I emailed for updates to the game list, vendors, and speaker schedule. They will be updated the list in a few days, vendors soon too, but won't expect to see the speaker schedule until about a week out.
After seeing the twitch feed from the NW show, I'm interested to see what's coming.
Quoted from fireball2:Hey mof, how about you bring your Space Shuttle, and then I buy it and bring it home with me? Whatchu think 'bout that? Oh yeah, Sea Witch is on my list too.
NOT FOR SALE

Quoted from mof:NOT FOR SALE
Ok. Ok. You can't fault me for trying. Always looking. Always. Thanks for not stringing me along

Are you bringing FB2? That's a neat one...

Would love to, but mine's been a little issuey lately. I think it's just a funky switch on one of the outholes. Hmmm... mebbe you have given me some incentive to fix him up a bit and bust him out. Everybody who plays it becomes a believer. The cab is beat, but it plays mighty nice. "Fireball awaits you!" hmmm.
You bringing anything? There's usually a Space Shuttle, but I ain't seen a Sea Witch yet. I had to go to PPM to get my Sea Witch fix.
1 week later
Compared to PAGG this event doesn't seem to be generating much excitement considering we're less than a month out. It will be my first CAX, hoping this isn't a sign that its a dud of a show.
Maple Ridge, BC
I'll be there again. Arriving Wednesday to play poker at bay 101 for a few days then enjoy the show.

It is not a dud by any stretch, but is also a different show than PAGG. CAX is vids & pins, so it draws a different audience.

+1 , last years attendance was said to be around 10k...
Also if you are around Thursday or live in the area, we're hosting a IFPA/Project Pinball charity tournament to place a pinball machine at the UCSF Children's Hospital that Thursday evening before CAX: https://www.facebook.com/events/383750198489576/

It's like this every year. The Pinside PAGG thread is always way busier than the CAX thread. Not going to be a dud.
Quoted from Pdxmonkey:I'm excited
First time California Extreme
It's a great show you should have a blast. Hopefully there won't be any off duty chief of police there in their hybrid. 
I don't know what to expect - it'll be my first CAX.
But I live *two* light rail stops away. I won't even have to deal with the parking mess. Or pay for hotel. And there's no rules against riding light rail under the influence.
So. Yeah. I'll be there. 
FAST will be at CAX again this year! We are going to doing a talk again with our friends e/ Mission Pinball. We are soliciting suggestions for areas of focus for our talk at CAX. What would you like to know/learn? What should we focus on in the hour?
For those of you who haven't been to a talk we have participated in, here is a link to the talk we did at the NW Pinball Show recently:

FAST Pinball
Hope to be there all day Sunday! Anyone know if starship fantasy will have a booth? I didn't get my rollergames plastic set like I wanted to at PAGG.

No information on their page at all about vendors this year.....
Sadly, I won't be going this year.
Already going through Iguana's Asada fries drizzled with orange sauce withdrawals too.
Have fun guys and ride the Gold Striker for me! Hold down the fort TDA!
Busy as fu#!
If you try and qualify tourney you will spend all day Saturday doing it. If you qualify you will spend most of Sunday in playoffs.
Tough to enjoy the show and play tourney

Bummer man was looking forward to having a few beers and playing some pin with you! Hope to see you at some of the expos up this way next year my friend.
For those who have never been, here's a few things to expect;
Pretty much evenly split between pins and video games.
Excellent seminars
Lots o' people
Full bar
Latest Stern pins
Nice hotel
For the past few years, CAX shares the hotel with a Jehovah Witness convention. (No joke) Expect to feel self conscious when you're sharing an elevator with well dressed people while you're wearing your PPE T-Shirt from 2011.
Don't worry about the website... They always wait until the last minute to update it.

Don't forget a great outdoor area including a nice pool & spa with drink service.
Ok, just got my room booked (yeah, found a spot at the Hyatt Regency!). Will be there all day Saturday with the wife. Really looking forward to just hanging and playing.

Only Saturday?
Quoted from practicalsteve:Only Saturday?
Yeah, we get back from a super long 2 week vacation the weekend before, so don't want to be gone all weekend.
Edit: Just read your posting earlier, i see you wont be there on Saturday, dang it.
