Last year there wasn't many pinball mods/accessories related vendors there ... only a few that weren't just selling pinball machines and parts. (We love those too.) Glad to see more will be there this year and we will definitely check out your booth as we haven't seen most of your stuff in person. Hopefully more pinball related vendors join in this year.
Just got an email from Marco Spec stating that BK3 Pros and Premiums will be at the Marco Booth. Looking forward to checking them out!
Quoted from FatPanda:Just got an email from Marco Spec stating that BK3 Pros and Premiums will be at the Marco Booth. Looking forward to checking them out!

Madison Pinball will be buying/bringing a BK3000 for everyone to check out.
We are also hosting an official launch party on Sunday May 5th back in Madison

I got junk in my frunk.
Just emailed Keith so he can officially put my Black Knight onto the list of machines I'm bringing.
Dan, and others, With all the hoopla going on feel free to place/use it wherever is felt to be appropriate.

Glad to see a pinball vendor attending! Would love to see more. Can't wait to check your stuff out.
Quoted from trilogybeer:Whatcha gonna do with all that junk ? All that junk up in your frunk .
And now that fergie song is in my head.
Huh.... From Dan's latest email:
VIG is also almost sold out! You get EVERYTHING: VIG Exclusive shirt, NES Bovinium Quest, and more swag along with tickets to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and the After Party!
After Party... VIG... where's a Pitchfork?
I let a used pinball parts vendor have our second table for parts sales. Trying to get more parts sales at mgc any way I can.
Quoted from kcZ:Huh.... From Dan's latest email:

After Party... VIG... where's a Pitchfork?
Different after party. No pitchforks needed.
Quoted from kcZ:Different how?
If I am understanding your concern correctly, you are worried VIG gets into the game bringer after party. They do not. They get into the "Official MGC / Overdrive Reality After Party" which is held in the Hilton ballroom. This was just started last year.
If I misinterpreted your pitchfork comment, I apologize.
Quoted from kcZ:Holy crap... Chuck Norris will be at MGC.
It was great at TPF last year, I got a picture of The Hulk and Chuck Norris. To cut down on the confusion:

By Any chance anyone not going and cancelling of their rooms - I am looking for a room for the weekend and need help - Last minute decision for me - But I am going.
Any help on where I can get a room -- Thank in advance

If all the rooms in the mgc block are gone, try calling the hotels directly on the phone..
If that fails, there are other hotels just a few blocks away
I got a room at the Hilton booked a few days ago but not at the MGC special. They have rooms just not the MGC price block.

Lots of hotels in the area, my MGC room last year hella sucked. The windows were bolted shut and the air conditioning didn't do anything.
Look for something within half mile or so and you'll find better options.

Can I get a picture with the other chuck Norris giving the thumbs up?
On a different note. Dan you guys have done a stellar job promoting this year. Last year not many podcasts etc were talking about the show. And the non spooky ones didn’t get details right. This year I have heard alotnof chatter and rumors. See all you guys in a few days.
Quoted from wcbrandes:not only uses the airco system, but has back up brought up to make sure stalagmites are forming on his ceiling!
The science nerd in me says those would technically be stalactites.

I’m taking part in the Marco/Stern offer. Anybody know what time I need to be there by to unbox and setup the machine myself?

Thanks! One never knows! I think last year was actually the reason people are talking more. Everyone kept claiming we weren't really a pinball show (since we aren't JUST a pinball show), and I think last year some companies realized that might be a positive. Here's hoping to a great year! We've been busting our asses to make it happen!
Quoted from janus:Dan, I'm looking at a 6 hour drive home. What's a fair time to load up my machine Sunday?
There is a dock free until 3.30pm of $50 to remove before then, as we have to pay a lot to open the dock for people so we are passing that on this year (last year, we would have been in the clear had we not opened the docks to anyone on Sunday early, although if we are under the same circumstances we probably would again). If you can leave it until then, we'd super appreciate it. It also makes Sunday a lot less crazy to run.
We think we have solved or nearly solved particularly the arcade hall load out issues and expect to get people out quickly. I promise, we'll do out best!

Thank you very much for the positive feedback, it means a lot to us. We have been working hard to have unique mods, trying not to copy any one else. We are so very proud of our lighted speaker panels now. Last year, they worked but not nearly as good as we felt we could make them, and we are finally at the point we feel they are gorgeous. We are making a good push to do videos and update the website. We did so many sales at TPF, that our team will still be shipping orders from TPF while we are going to be at Midwest Gaming Classic a good problem for us to have.
We tried to do lighted shooter covers 2 years ago, but never could get those right, but now we have finally figured out those. Plasma Pop Bumpers is Chuck's baby. They looked great before, but the detail work we do on those is much better then a year ago to.
Here is a picture of "The Other Chuck Norris" from this years TPF, He is a great guy, he has the gift of gab and is a real pleasure to talk with. Very hard working and very loyal, I am lucky to have him on our team!

Does this mean for $50 I could skate at 2?
Quoted from janus:Does this mean for $50 I could skate at 2?
Yup!
Quoted from goatdan:$50 to remove before then
it is $50 per game, correct?
If not, then it should be.

Quoted from cavalier88z24:Wow. 2 brand new games to play during preview night that I never played? I'm glad I bought my preview ticket. there can't be many left. goatdan your going to have to turn the power off on me. (again)
Sales on this is a funny thing, as it seems to ebb and flow with no meaning, and completely different than our regular tickets which are following their usual trajectory but slightly increased over last year lately.
Last I checked which was last night, I think it was 9 tickets remain. That'll either last until we close ticket sales (three days ago, we sold two of them all day), or it will be gone any moment (two days ago, we sold 12 in a day).
