    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Just a minor detail, but which looks better...using a marker on the "not" in front of "for sale", or using white-out tape?

    Or what about leaving a blank space in front of "For Sale"? Someone can write "Not" in front of it or the price after it.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Mixing half printed text and half hand-written could be confusing due to readability issues. Not to mention, that anything hand-written takes up at least twice as much space. I think it might be best to do all text or none.
    I'm kind of liking the blank line, though. That way, anyone can write whatever they want (for sale, not for sale, trade, the price)

    Blank line looks good!

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Well, that was quick. All the cards I had have now been given away or sent out. Thanks to everyone who is helping to spread the word about the show

    Any chance you'd post the image here so we can print out our own? I'd put one on my GB on location, might help attract the right people to the show.

    EDIT: you already did! Well then I'm going to print one out and pop one on my machine when I stop by for collection.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    That's a slightly older version. Here is the PDF of the current card/flier. With this one, you have a couple of printing options. If you select "no scaling / exact size", it will print a 4x6 card. If you select "fit to printer margins", it will fit on a 8.5x11 with no pixelation issues.

    sweet, thanks!

    I think having more time to plan would definitely help bring people in. You can really turn this into a vacation if you wanted. The Saratoga area is such a great destination. Excellent night life year round. Horse track & Casino w/in a couple miles. A great lake 3-4 miles away. Lake George 40 mins to the north. Camping, shopping, parks, concerts at SPAC, it's a great way to con the rest of your family into a trip!

    Quoted from Kawydud:

    Just don't try to find a parking space in town during the day. Holy crap! Did some work at Ball Metal two weeks ago and took the wife into town to try and walk around. There wasn't a parking space to be found. Both ramps full.

    Yeah parking has always been tough right in downtown, no way around that. It's tough for me and I know the city very very well! But most of the time you can find a spot a 2-3 blocks off Broadway.

    We're now up to 25!

    Nice! There's going to be a pretty diverse selection at this show. I can't wait to play dialed in myself.

    This thread needs a bump!

    #266 6 years ago

    247 plays on my SW Pro
    155 plays on my Sopranos
    RBION I'll be able to check later in the week
    Bone Busters I was too lazy to figure out gottlieb audits

    I think the difference in plays between SW & Sopranos is a result of ball times

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Well, the room is pretty much empty now.
    Thanks to everyone who brought games, set up on the flea market, volunteered, and visited the show. This show would have not been successful without everyone who pitched in
    If anyone has feedback about the show, I'd like to hear it.
    Thanks

    I thought the show was fantastic. Everything was clean, organized and presented well. The machines were all in very good shape and it looked like all the visitors were having a great time. Staff was very friendly. I liked the layout of the space. The only thing I can think of is it would have been nice if the arcade vendors were able to have power. Do another show next year!

    Picked this beast up at the show. My back is feelin' it today!

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    great pickup! 1 of 2 arcades I used to play with my brother back in the day. I would have snagged it if I had been in driving distance.
    If you ever get tired of it, please let me know. I would LOVE to surprise my brother with one someday as a present.

    That's so funny, my brother and I used to play it too. I'l keep you in mind if I ever decide to get rid of it, but I don't cycle through arcades too much, not like pins anyway.
