Chicago is the home of pinball and Expo feels special because of it, but I'm in full agreement - TPF is a much more fun show now. I went to TPF for the first time last year, and that's my "travel show" for the year now coming from California. Just got back home from TPF again this year, it was great!!! Not going back to Expo.
Oh, I lied, guess I have more than one travel show this year - going to Northwest Pinball & Arcade show this summer
