Quoted from Jediturtle:Absolutely. That will never die. Bring a machine. We'll make it as easy as possible. You will not regret sticking around for the party and staying at the hotel is the way to go.
The party is definitely the highlight of the show.
Agreed! And let's not forget to thank our official afterparty sponsor, Pinballlife, when you see them!
Quoted from LTG:Will this be your first show ?
If so you are in for a treat. I refer to it as 2/3rds gamers and 1/3rd pinball. The pinball keeps getting bigger and better every year. As does the whole show.
The gamers add a level of excitement to the show that is unbelievable. There is the feeling of electricity in the air.
You are in for a great time. Your only problem is the wait a year until it happens again.
LTG : )™
Will you be abke to make it this year?
Quoted from ChrisS:Bring money. There will be plenty of machines for sale. Including a couple of mine. Trust me the bug will get you and its a pain to try and pull money out of the ATM Saturday Afternoon.
Chris
Wise advice. You are a star player my friend!
Quoted from ChrisS:I'm happy to lose my dollars to have a chance to hang with a bunch of friends. Plus I'm helping put Tim's kids through college.
That's nice of you, but you know, you don't have to pay me in dollar bills to hang with me. I take $20's and Paypal as well.
Quoted from tullster:And I'll be sliding the dresser in front of my door in case either of you two stumble into my room!!
And all this time I thought you slept in the arcade hall under a game...
Quoted from ChadH:Woohoo! Looks like Mother Nature is going to be kind this year.

...we don't speak of such things.
You should have seen it earlier today. Ripped through worse than last year it seemed. Hopefully it clears out and stays out.
Quoted from HHaase:Don't jinx it, I'm giving the tent a try this time around.

Sorry, I meant the rain ripped through "outside" the tent. You should be good. Lots of good stuff planned in the tent this year from what I hear
Quoted from ChrisS:I love the show Dan. Yeah things are tight around that place but it really is the only option in MKE that caters to the needs of the show.
For anyone that knows trade shows and spaces electrical at any other place would be 2-3 times as much. Just to run it out. And then the bill on the power at the end.
I love that you and Gary don't think about cutting any parts of the show. I love walking around and seeing everything. I'm not a gamer but to see the enthusiasm at thise stations is amazing.
Unfortunately you always end up with a select few that sound the loudest. All of us that enjoy it think. " that was awesome, see you next year".
Sorry I didn't get a chance to personally thank you. You were always so busy and I didn't want to distract you. But that to you, Gary and everyone that helps in everyway that they do.

Loved the show and can't wait to do it again! For me, while, yes, we outgrew the hotel, I think with the tent we really pulled it off well and it felt good. The tent was an awsome place to be. Was the show crazy packed at times? Yes, but to that I say, "Hey! We packed the show with people!!!!" Yea! My only really big complaint was that I didn't take Monday off of work. Ouch! Where's the Tylenol?
