Quoted from alexanr1:Bad weekend for me and the wife or we would have been there. Good luck I hope it’s a huge success!
No worries we will be doing this show for years to come.
Bay Village, OH
Quoted from Skypilot:we strongly believe that anyone vulnerable will have received their vaccine if they choose.
I'm honestly not trying to be combative, but what information do you have about this that no one else does? We are still vaccinating the 65 and over group. Once you receive your first dose, there's a 4 week wait for the second one, then around 14 days after that for effectiveness...so about a 6 week wail from your first dose. There's no way that a relevant number of people will be vaccinated by the time of this show. The vaccine prevents symptoms, not passing the virus to someone else if you contract it.
Although people "know how to wear a mask responsibly", it's not possible to wear one while drinking beer. Is everyone going to be kept 6 feet apart while drinking? Once people are drunk are they still going to be "responsibly" wearing a mask?
Without bringing politics into it also, the illusion of safety your post gives is pretty irresponsible.
I hope everyone that chooses to attend stays healthy, but I don't see how that's possible given the circumstances. It will be an interesting experiment I guess, hope it works out.

Again, If you are not comfortable we do not want you to come.
Smokeworx has signed on again. I’m not gonna tell you how amazing the brisket is. You’re just going to need to experience it personally.
Quoted from nitrojcrawf:Got both my shots! Looking forward to the show.
Awesome,getting my second tomorrow. See you at the show

Then don't go. The world has to start moving again and it is beyond time to get back to living and entertainment. Your state must be way behind. Everyone i know in 65 and older have already got vaccinated. Everyone in the medical field i know has gotten it and my kids in the military have all been 100% vaccinated.

Not planning to, but we are way behind. My 67 year old mother finally managed to get an appointment this week. My wife works in the UH system here and they have many people not yet vaccinated. I'm not sure if you're implying that the show will mainly be attended by the 65 and older group and medical professionals, but I don't see why that would be the case.
Like you said, I'm not going to I don't have a dog in the fight, people are going to do what they want, clearly. I do hope the show survives and I can attend in 2022, I'd love to go. My issue with these posts is that the misinformation being spread isn't accurate. Most people in attendance will not be vaccinated (and could still transmit the virus to others) and diligent mask wearing at an event centered around drinking isn't possible or likely.
The world is moving again and there isn't much left (if anything) in Ohio that isn't already open, so if you're not "back to living" the way you want I think your aggression toward me is misplaced, I'm not in control of your behavior.
I see the consequences of stuff like this everyday when my wife gets home from work dealing with covid patients and potential exposures. If people want to have a pinball show (or do anything), have at it, but representing it as safe just isn't accurate. You can certainly accept the risk, but call it what it is.
Like I said, hopefully it goes well and I look forward to attending in the future when we start to get this mess behind us all.
Quoted from Skypilot:I’m not going to get into a debate on you. Stay home.you have expressed your opinion.much appreciated.move on
I'll express mine as well. Then I can get downvoted and I'll shut up.
It's dumb to hold a pinball show during a pandemic. The risks far outweigh the good.
I realize that will be an unpopular opinion here. And I know that if someone dies from it, there are 1000 built in excuses (he showed up with it, he caught it on the way, he didn't get vaccinated, we didn't know it could happen, it happened elsewhere, it was at the hotel, it was at the restaurant, blah blah blah). Personally I will wait to go to pinball stuff until this is actually over. My friends and I talk about long road trips to every arcade and pinball event we can get to as soon as this is over. But that won't be in April. And now I will shut up and as you asked, move on with my opinion. No debate needed.
Edit: Nevermind as I forgot there is another thread basically covering my questions. Good luck with the show and I hope to be able to attend.
Quoted from Skypilot:Any interest in playfield glass?
I need a slugfest glass
Quoted from Skypilot:Any interest in playfield glass?
I need F2K and Big Game glass
Quoted from chuckwurt:I need F2K and Big Game glass
Is that standard glass? There’s standard, wide , extra wide( stellar wars) And safecracker. There might be a few others but those are the basics
Quoted from dhard:What's the price on the glass
We are still pricing it but it looks to be around $30per
There will be games for sale at the show also if you get on the website go to pinball machines. If there is a tag next to the game then it is for sale .But a lot of the vendors bring games for sale that will not be on the pinball page.

Awesome. Thank you!
Quoted from grantopia:The vaccine prevents symptoms, not passing the virus to someone else if you contract it.
I’m on your side and agree with you about the show, but right now there isn’t enough evidence to conclude this and there is actually new emerging evidence that inoculation helps reduce spread.
We need to speed up the vaccines !! Yes this is selfish I realize that
Anyways I hope everyone is staying healthy.
Be nice to attend more shows I miss them
I understand that people miss getting together but staying safe is the number one priority. I’ll be immune next Thursday so I’ll be good to go then. I feel bad for the people that have to wait forever in line just to get a vaccine.
I was fortunate to get the vaccine early on but would still be hesitant going to a show right now. I feel being a med professional means educating and leading with example. I wear a mask every day/all day and recommend all do the same. I’ve lost several patients to covid and can’t imagine how awful it would be if contact tracing led back to a pinball show. There’s another show in Ohio where the promoter hasn’t been able to get insurance coverage due to covid. Keith, I’m not bashing but I’m curios what your wife’s thoughts are on you proceeding with the show. I’ve seen her video of the extra precautions she’s taken at work and would love to see similar precautions implemented at the show too. My intent is that I just want a safe and fun show.

Your statement isnt accurate. I run one of the largest soft tip dart leagues in the state (Ohio) for a large operator in Columbus. Over 350-400 players in central Ohio and Northern Ohio area (Fremont/Clyde). Our leagues restarted back in the beginning of last summer. Our rules and the bars rules are....If you are playing.... you are wearing a mask. And yes.... the players are wearing them. And yes..... they are drinking all night while playing. And I promise you... Dart players drink a hell of a lot MORE than pinball players.
With proper distancing, and cleaning of the facility and machines.... this event can go off without a hitch. But in order to do that EVERYONE needs to follow along and do their part.
I will be there and am counting the days until it gets here.

While I appreciate your adherence to masks, I'll take my wife's daily medical experience and first hand knowledge of the consequences of events like this. Enjoy the show and hope you stay safe.

I just spent the afternoon walking the 30000sq ft at the Expo center. Our event coordinator has been putting on shows since November and has some wonderful ideas on how to have a successful show safely. Marvin and I cant wait!

Easy question for ya.... will there be dolly's on site to use to move games in? Or would we need to bring our own? Just trying to figure out which vehicle I need to drive lol.
Just got my first Pfizer shot yesterday, next one up in 3 weeks. Perfect timing to attend the show and not be overly worried. Of course, will follow the safety guidelines for everyone's sake.
Quoted from Skypilot:Wow ,Check out the list of games already registered We are still 6 weeks away!
https://www.pinbrewfest.com/Games/Index
Are we supposed to get an email confirmation or instructions on passes when we register a game?
