WOW!, This is Fantastic!

I went last year.... and my wife surprised me for my birthday and has already reserved our room....

She told me I will be able to see all of my pinside friends.... But I told her I don't know any of you guys in the Midwest... so I doubt I will see anybody that I have posted before.

But NOW... YES! This will be a great time! Maybe I need to wear one of those 'badges' things that you hang from your neck saying 'PINSIDE!'...

It would be great to meet the people that have the same interest and participate in this community...

14 days to go..... YEAH!

I am fortunate that my wife booked this months ahead. But I will make sure that she checks with the Hotel and confirms that we are not one that will get 'bumped' in the case of overbooking like the airlines do.

For yourself, you can 'priceline' the Louisville downtown area 3-1/2 stars and you will find really nice Hotels for well under $100.....

Will there be Lord of the Rings Pinball at the expo?

Anybody know? Would love to play that game and BUY it!

I have a trailer, 5 X 10, in Bedford,,, (just south of Bloomington) and on the way to the Expo...

I had the EXACT same experience. Sort of....

It was just me and the wife.... and we waited forever........ no drinks, nothing. Went to the bar and waited somemore..

So we went to the room and ordered ........

And then went down to get our dinner....

And the whole thing started over again.

I sure hope it's better this time...

I don't know who these people are, but I want to thank them personally as well. This was a FANTASTIC show. I cannot imagine having a better time. Everything in every category was thoroughly well planned and enjoyed.

So now, how about the good and the bad:

Complaint: NONE! This show was perfect to me and my family. Can't imagine it being any better. But looking forward to next year topping this years! YES!,,, looking forward to next year already.

Comment: Well (this could be in the complaint category) but that's not really what I do so I will just comment. We stayed at the hotel once again this year and so did not expect much from the Restaurant.... and they did not disappoint! It was STILL a horrible service experience. Wick's Pizza: I knew from the past that this might not turn out to be good service so I went to the front reception/ wait area and said, 'All I want to do is order' and then I'll pick it up later so you don't have to sit us or anything. The fella said 'You have to go see 'Michelle' at the bar to order for pickup'...... OK..... so I wait in line at the bar for 20 minutes... The fella at the bar says 'Michelle' has left quite awhile ago... but he will help out best he can...... So I order Pizza and say I don't have to pick it up for an hour or 2 so no rush,,, take your time.

Great, then I show back up an hour later and ready to pick up our dinner...... So then, I wait in line at the bar (another 20 minutes)...... and yes, I did get our meal. Now I will have to say that the meal was FANTASTIC.! The Pizza tasted wonderful!.... The dinner was GREAT!

So this comment will end like this: Wick's Pizza Restaurant is like 'Comcast Cable' or 'Time-Warner Cable'....... The service is Horrible....... but the Product is EXCELLENT.

Alright, I know that comment above had nothing to do with the FANTASTIC show..... was just sharing with others that might have stayed at the hotel as well. And even with this, I will stay at this hotel again.

Thanks again to all of the people that put this show on. It was FANTASTIC!
