Thank you future,
I will be there, I always wanted a space shuttle.. And yes, I will do what it takes to win....

I was on the fence about going. But if Wizman is gonna be there.... I'm in!

How many pins usually show up?

LOL ..., future, your funny, but love it....

,, yes I probably deserve it, but I will buy us drinks...

Yes I will, no problem..., even will take care of second round...

Jared,
Last year they advertised for people to bring pins. If I remember correctly, you could bring any pins you wanted for people to play, and you could sell the pins too.

Be sure to tell Wizman that I'm one of your best friends so I can line up with you for the drinks!!!

I will be there, for sure. Last year it was about the best time one can have. A cooler of beer out in the jeep, 20+ pins, and a Skyline chili right across the parking lot.

Arghh!!! Sorry guys, we are NOT giving away a Space Shuttle next year. We are not 100% sure what the prize is going to be yet (may go for the cash option, as a lot of people came out of town..which makes pinball hauling a little bit of a burden).

The list of games were the potential ones from last year too. Next year, we are still gathering info from people who are bringing machines. If you have some you would like to bring, please do. We plan on having some swag to give to all of the owners next year, as it is not possible for this to go on without the contributors!

Once again, I apologize for the confusion.

-Jeremy

Im in sounds like fun

Definately will have Andromeda and Global Warfare there next year (the 2 GP pins I'll bring). Good luck on the DMD!

I will be there,Last year was great,Hopefully there will be more newer pins there!!

What are the dates?

EDIT: March 2-4, 2012 at the Ramada Plaza Hotel Louisville, KY

Guess I should have visited the link first.

_{Post edited by absocountry2 : Asked a question that I had the ability to answer myself}

I am looking forward to this. I didn't make last years, but am hoping to see and play some cool games and maybe pick up a new one. I would love to bring a game, but once the games go down in my basement, they don't wanna go back up!

Live near Louisville and would bring pin or two. Will there be more space for games this year. Went as a spectator last year and was glad I did space seemed limited. Good turn out for games and people.

Duh just read link in first post....more space at Ramada. I'm lil slow like that sometimes. Would like to bring couple games.

That's kind of like asking a man which daughter is he bringing to the dance.

Hi all, just jumped back on pinside. The list of games at the Louisville Arcade Expo will be posted this weekend on the site. We have a pretty good variety. With us being at the Ramada this year we have much more space, more power and cheaper room rates too. If anyone is planning on bringing a machine (all is tentative of course), please reply to this thread or email me the title so that we can plan for it and advertise for it. Quick recap of this year from a pinball perspective:

2 IFPA tournaments (main and classics) Friday and Sat. Saturday night is final round
Pinball Golf with 9 machines on Sunday morning (setup in a golf course fashion. No sand traps, and you will need to use your imagination)
Thursday Mar 1 is a setup day. If you bring your machine in Thursday, then you are more than invited to our private party in the main room Thursday night that will have pizza and drinks provided.
Friday night is the hospitality suite (last year we had bbq and open bar...what is this year!?!?!!?)

It is going to be really awesome this year. Oh, and the room rate is 69.95 a night at the Ramada (LKLA is the rate code). Also there is a Wick's pizza onsite, and they are going to setup a pizza parlor in an adjoining room, which we are going to put cocktail arcades in.

Thanks,

I'm planning on being there. Hope to meet all the Pinsiders in attendance. We should have name tags so we can put faces to our Pinside usernames.

I will be there too! I think we should buy pinside shirts and ware them at the event.

Did I hear open bar if you bring a pin?

The hospitality suite is open to anyone who brings a machine for the weekend or anyone who bought a weekend pass. I think we have the suite open for 3 hours Friday night. Food, bar, and drinks are in the suite. (right off of the main room).

I believe I'm going to be able to make it to this! It appears this thread has brought out a lot of 'local' Pinsiders . . . ranging from southern Indiana to southern Kentucky. There are more of us around here than I thought. This sure would be a good opportunity to see the 'Pinside IM-Personalities' be able to 'connect', put names and faces together, and not be total strangers here on the forum.

Don't know if the organizers will have name tags, but I suggest all us Pinsiders make our own that is big enough to slap on your shirt pocket area and read something like this

PINSIDE
"Pintucky"
Mike Giorgio
Bowling Green, KY

We will have badges there. I'll see if we can come up with a special pinside badge or something..but worse case there is always the sharpie

so if you bring a pin it's free beer?..I may have to bring my DE Star Wars..

Sounds fun, I may have to check this out too even though I'm a newb to the pin world...

I started as a noob!

Yep. If you bring it Thursday for the setup day, you can get in on the private party in the main room as well!

Oh, yeah. Very excited about this. Not to thread jack but does everyone know about www.louisvillepinball.com?

I am planning on being there. Bringing a couple machines.

I brought the BSD last year. Likely bringing it again along with SM and a Galaxian Cocktail (for sale) and possibly IM.

I'm considering renting a enclosed trailer for the weekend to aid in getting the machines there since I can typically only haul one at a time.

Looked at the site and that is a good thing they are doing. I was hoping it was for people like us, who own pins in their homes so we could get to know who is 'around us' with pins.
Mike

Jason that would be great if you can bring the BSD again. I'll put that on the tentative list with the SM if that works with you.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Great list of pinballs,I really hope there will be some New Sterns there! I am getting excited about this. :

There will even be one or two NIB. Trent Augenstein is bringing them (awesome guy in OH). He is not 100% sure what titles until that week. He said he will even try to bring an AC/DC if he has one then.

Great I hope he brings a TF LE if he has one! I am still debating on bringing my STTNG.

You got to bring it! It would be THEE highlight of the show for some! Everyone loves that pin. I will gladly help you get it out of your basement if that is what it takes to get a STTNG there.

I'm in bringing a Danny Sullivans Indy Heat arcade. The Fleitz brothers are a class act. Last year was great and it was jus the first one, this year is going to be awesome with a lot of growth. I may bring a pin, I'm pending a trade. They had a great tourny last year....I finished 17th....out of 17 finalist All you guys should make it. Huge area this year, I'm stoked! Don't miss out, great place to sell a pin also..free admission and free place to sell, you can't beat that. If you don't bring something admission is still reasonable.

Hey Jeremy,

not sure if you updated your list since we decided on games...but we will be bringing barring any last minute problems with any of them!!
AFM
Congo
Defender (pin)
LAH (for a friend)
SM
Varkon
