Maybe a long shot, but I'm double dipping shows in Louisville that weekend, and I was curious to see if any pinheads there were also bicycle nerds? The North American Handbuilt Bicycle show http://www.2015.handmadebicycleshow.com is a super fun show and I know a few pinheads and I are going to be doing some back and forth over there. Would be fun to high five any other bike enthusiasts! It's basically the nerd weekend of my dreams, can't wait!
Had a blast at this show! It was VERY different than the shows I'm used to, I loved those console and computer rooms, I could Type of the Dead all day. And I thought it was very cool to see little kids playing that old stuff.
The pin selection was good! Nice mix. There was a rumor floating around that 50-60 pins didn't show up due to weather, which you'd think would spell disaster, but the show just rolled with it, and people didn't seem to mind a bit. I guess some people get testy standing in line, but I think it's actually awesome to see lines at pinball games. A few years ago that just wasn't happening!
My fave pin was the Robo War obviously; I probably put about sixty (terrible) games on it. Loved it. People who offer up their games for these shows rule, but people who offer up games for the shows when there's a storm like that deserve special thanks. Everyone was very friendly and nice. Liquor Barn is tops. I was able to fix the toilet problem in our room myself, and have an odd affinity for Stadium Joe's and the Tropidome.
NPO I don't know if you met a different Pinball Molly, but I'm really not nice 
Anyway, great show! Loved the bourbon soaked weekend and would do again. Thanks to all involved.
Quoted from KC_Masterpiece:It was a fun show. Robowar got 750 plays, so lots of people liked it. Quick game time too, so that helps with the number. It was dead a couple months ago, but I rebuilt the acid damage and did all recommended mods to bulletproof it. I think it shows that the 80b can be as reliable as anything. (for a while!) I'm bringing it to the Ohio Show, too. I forgot to thank Antz and his crew for bringing all the cool stuff. Thanks Antz! Chuckwurt had better practice his Tapper skills! Also, thanks Cinci pinball for letting me be a part of your group, especially Phoebe and Larry. Matt and Jeremy put on great show. Thanks guys.
Seriously loved your Robo War! I operate a few Sys80Bs and have a soft spot for them, but it's always excellent to see the rarer 80Bs like yours. It played really nice, good job with it. Also thank you for typing out "Antz" lol; I've been wanting to thank him and mention his radness and hospitality but having only heard people mention his name aloud, I didn't know how to type it 
Antz you are the man! I just got over my hangover yesterday THANKS BLANTON'S
Quoted from futurepinhead:I hear you there, Sunday Monday was rough for me. I'm pretty sure I met you as well on Saturday??
I wouldn't rule it out! If you saw an upper-middle age lady grinning and stumbling around solo with a whiskey cup, it might've been yours truly. Every single person I met there was super nice so I'm sure I liked ya just fine
