I'll get my room today. I can't wait. What's everybody planning on bringing?

I might be selling a 4 Roses pin (EM) and maybe a Stern Playboy if I get it running.

You know me too well.

As for me, I hope to bring quite a few if I can manage the transportation for them. I want to bring a Centipede, Getaway, Space Shuttle, Playboy and 4 Roses. Maybe my Carnevil too.

Hey Louisville guys, I stayed at that hotel in July or so while in town on business and Wick's was gone. What's there now? Any good?

You aren't lying there. The service was pretty bad after about 8pm. I'm looking forward to trying it and I can still get a Wicks delivered one night.

Just got my room, don't wait to get your rooms. I had people sleeping on my floor last year because they pushed it off too long!

Jeez, I didn't realize it was sneaking up that fast! I better get to work on my projects haha.

Hey, on a side note, I want to say that it is awesome that the show will be giving away a Centipede this year. Make sure to bring your canned food everyone!

Do you still have that Dracula? I enjoyed it last year and if you need help moving some, let me know, I'll be coming down early and I'll have a friend with me.

I'd love to get to play a Safe Cracker buddy

Haha, no, I messed up last year and showed up at the wrong time and I was upset about it at the time. However, one of our Pinside friend's son won so I couldn't be happier. We ended up using me as the Boss Mode where the winner takes me on in the final stage. It was great because someone else gets to take home the trophies now and I still get to prove myself to myself.

Here's hoping that Steve's son wins again this year!

Tons of games there, I think (don't hold me to it) last year was around 100 pins on free play. Was that right Matt?

I'll trade you my collection and my soul.

Shit, nevermind, I forgot I was a redhead

I'd probably in for a skill crane game as well. Jason, let me know if you reach him please and he has a couple.

It's for a friend

Thanks

There was one there last year so it might return

I'll probably leave early in the morning, swing by Zanzabar around noon and then head over after that. Welcome to join me Travis

Looks good Scott!

Working 100%. Lets see if it survives the move this year!

Thursday night is usually kind of hectic. The guys running the show are trying to organize all the games and the owner's are usually working on games getting them 100%. I would personally not recommend coming Thursday. Its too easy to be in the way.

That is correct. I brought it, fired it up and the Super Charger wasn't working. I looked at the show and could not see the problem. When I took it home and started looking around there was a bad solder connection on one of the Optos by the magnets. I spent the other night going through each switch and solenoid test and replaced a couple of burnt out bulbs and she is good to go. I also got the Beacon running this year (it wasn't working for last years show).

It'll probably be broke down by Saturday haha. I hope she lives but nothing suprises me anymore.

Yeah, I'm coming down in a 2 wheel drive truck. (not even mine)

Ok I'm thinking about driving half the mph, should take me about 4 hrs to get there. I'm most nervous about coming into Louisville. All suggestions appreciated.

Comin east on 64 by the way

Might be leaving tonight. The earliest I could leave is around 7pm. We should already have quite a bit of snow but Louisville is supposed to be 31 so hopefully not a lot sticking. I would have to take my games into my hotel room but that doesn't really bother me.

It looks like it finally stopped up here in Evansville IN area. Chance of precipitation is going down in the next few hours. Planning on leaving noon Louisville time

I might be depending on the taxi/uber ride

Safe and sound, games unloaded. Got a little nasty near Corydon but other than that, zero problems. We need a big meet up this year.

I had a great time. Getaway did amazing. 559 plays and not even a ball hung up. I am letting her rest for a month or so haha. It had a line everytime I passed by it. I met a bunch of great pinheads this year Hougie, Collin, ChuckWurt and many others plus all the ones I've known from the past. I drank a bit on Saturday night and ended up sleeping through most of Sunday's show. Had a blast. I will return next year for my 5th year in a row.

Hey that was me!

Mine was the other one there, but that one was owed by a friend of mine (2 total there). It was kind of funny, that owner had me change a flipper rubber as he was running one of the front desks. I was opening it up and someone said "Is that game yours?" I said no and kept working. They were really really confused by the look on their face haha.

That's pretty incredible. I had 559 and you were shut down a little on Saturday and a little late on Friday. Your game was burning it up! How did Rexy hold up?

That's great, I need to open up mine and do a thorough cleaning but I'll wait until after the move. What ended up winning as best looking game?
I won 2 things, I won a weekend pass to FandomFest in Louisville (comic con type event). That was from entering the Centipede drawing.
I also won a set of Silverjet Balls from the raffle of bringing a game. I want to thank the show volunteers for rounding up such awesome prizes!

Hey I remember talk to you, yeah it's a great game for sure. It looks like you have a pretty solid Data East collection going on there. I love Goldeneye and WWFRR is awesome, OH OH YEAH!

That got pretty heated as I remember haha.

I never got to tell you but Robowar is Great. Loved it, thanks for bringing it.

I hear you there, Sunday Monday was rough for me. I'm pretty sure I met you as well on Saturday??
