    Hotel is already 50% booked. If you haven't booked your room, get on it. No doubt it will sell out well before showtime.

    And that was before we found out how awesome the hotel was.

    #111 9 years ago

    Reservation changed today. Thursday arrival! Woot.

    #112 9 years ago

    Just made reservations. Didn't want to take any chances of missing out

    #113 9 years ago

    I better handle my reservations while I can. Seriously, one of the hottest pinball events in the nation...

    #114 9 years ago

    Thinking about flying out for the show... Anyone local with two newer stern games that can I can work something out with to use in my booth?

    (Fixed that for him.)

    What's your business?

    #118 9 years ago

    Reservations made, should have been quicker. Kings are sold out for Sunday night so I will have to move rooms sometime Sunday. I'll be in mid-day Thursday and departing Monday morning.Bringing the Acrylic Pinball Project, EBD and Space Invaders. Can't. Wait.

    #119 9 years ago
    Quoted from Noahs_Arcade:

    Here's to hoping for a Cactus Canyon theme next year!

    But then I'd have to haul CCC all the way to Texas and add something new/cool just for the show.

    #120 9 years ago

    Last day to order TPF gear if you want it shipped in time for Christmas is December 7th

    He is the head phone guy..... Pinnovators!

    #123 9 years ago

    Just made room reservation for the wife and me, two weekend passes and a T-shirt too! Looking forward to it already. What a great time it is every year and this Frisco venue is the best!

    #124 9 years ago

    I'm glad I made the reservation early, just like last year. Last year though when we arrived the hotel was overbooked so they offered free stay in a hotel across the street. Since I used points for flights and car rental the weekend was free (except for passes and booze), that's a sweet deal!

    #125 9 years ago
    Quoted from Frax:

    I have a Tron and a Metallica.. =P

    Good cause were coming... I'm flying out... Need a couple newer sterns for the booth. Lets work something out. Pm sent

    I don't usually ask to come over to people's houses to try out a pin but.....yeah. lol.

    #128 9 years ago

    I just saw the link to the Guinness world record site with the certificate of participation for the TPF. It's a scam but I totally fell for it. I got one for my son also!

    Glad to see EBD this year. I was surprised there wasn't one there last year. I am working hard to get my Paragon playfield restored and cleared before the show.

    No problem......

    #131 9 years ago

    First time to this show, I am very excited about it.
    Is there any kind of shuttle from the DFW airport to the hotel/show?
    Hotel web site said no rooms available but when I called I got a room with no problem.
    See you at the show!

    #132 9 years ago

    show is a blast.
    hope you have an amazing 1st time.
    don't forget to get up and take your ticket for free breakfast.

    #133 9 years ago

    I just booked online no problem for Fri-Sun. I got a double bed room so if any local Utah pinheads want to split the room, let me know!

    #134 9 years ago

    2015 TPF caps are in. They look awesome. If you ordered one, they will ship this week.
    Reminder, tomorrow, Sunday, December 7th is the last to order TPF gear if you want it shipped in time for Christmss.

    #135 9 years ago

    The design looks really nice on the hats this year.

    #136 9 years ago

    Agreed. That pic looks way better than what was on the site. i guess I WILL be buying another hat.

    #137 9 years ago

    Yeah, initial pics on the website are always mock ups until the real deal comes in.

    I'm looking forward to March. Any idea which food trucks I can start salivating over?

    Quoted from Quiddity:

    Working on that now. I'm sure many of the same ones will be back.

    The more the better! I went to Gencon a few years ago and it was awesome to be able to go outside at any one time and there were between 5-10 food trucks parked outside. It smelled awesome!

    Food trucks are delicious. That is all.

    Security may need to be increased in the tournament area. One competitor could be arriving armed:

    Don't worry, Frax is about as calm and reserved as one can be. I'm sure it won't be a problem.

    #149 9 years ago

    Everyone's calm until an SDTM....
