I've been in a long distance relationship for a couple of years now with a Canadian girl. I love her to bits but I also love pinball and I want to do some pinball related things while I am over there next month. I will be based in BC but I am more than willing to fly to anywhere in the US / Canada to meet other pinheads, play some pinball and perhaps even buy a pinball or two. I own a Road Show and love it like it was my only child.

Any events, places etc. I should put on my places to go? I've already been to the pinball hall of fame in Vegas a few years back which was great. I was contemplating going to Chicago to check out the Stern factory but I am not sure if its possible to do some kind of tour? What about buying direct from them?

I'll be over there until the end of Jan so hopefully there are some events I can attend during that time...

Hey Pdxmonkey Seattle sounds awesome. Where do you suggest I go while there? Do you know of any event happening in the Seattle area Dec-Jan?

Cheers!

My gf would kill me if I delayed my trip..

thanks Hitch9 Me and my gf both love the cold weather and are hoping for tons of snow this year! Where I am from its sunny and hot for almost the whole year around so the cold weather is a nice change. That's said its always nice in the summer as well and it does appear that there are more things on during the summer...

My gf is not into pinball but she will definitely be coming along.. The good news is that she doesnt get bored easily and would enjoy coming along for the ride.. Of course it cant all be pinball related but as we are planning a few road trips there will be plenty for her to do as well.. As Seattle is super close to Vancouver we are definitely making a stop there. I am going to do some research into whats happening there in the next couple of months.

Sounds amazing dannunz I will do my best to make it there someday!

I'll check the place out when in Vancouver.. Thanks for the heads up @darscot!

That's awesome.. thanks dude. It would be cool to get your take on all things pinball over there...

Cheers!
