Expo - Need a car if you don't want to eat in the same parking lot

Expo - Stern Tour (On a crappy bus ride all the way) Sweet tour though!
TPF - No Tours -- However you can keep playing pinball
Expo - Side room with over a 3rd of the games off & not working out of the 100 if that room even holds that many. I don't think it does but I haven't counted.
TPF - Most games are working
Expo - Closes the hall for a dinner night (By the way, whoever is speaking doesn't shut the "LL"sticks up. You'll stand in the hall waiting for the hall to open back up. Don't worry they will run up & down the hallway and tell you "to shut up until the dinner is over")
TPF - Doesn't close their hall for meeting/speaking engagements/ or pinside meetings
Expo - Beer
TPF - Beer
Expo - Load in is a mile walk down a hallway for 2 people at a time.
TPF - Organized for load in & load out (It still has issues but better than the mile walk)
I have heard Atlanta & Seattle are catching up.
