Quoted from beelzeboob:

I'll be there in spirit.

Is your wife coming? Need someone to win prizes at the So You Think You Know Pinball quiz

4 days, and then the next day drive to TPF & booth set up.
5 days, and then the next day doors open at TPF.

#755 7 years ago

Man, I so want to go to this show. If I hadn't bought CFTBL and Alien back to back last weekend....

Next year, I am coming to this one. I'm not missing it again.

On a separate note, would anyone be willing to purchase a TAF pinball flyer for me? I can't believe they are $20 on eBay, and of course, I would reimburse the person who snags me one as long as the flyer price is reasonable (read: not $20).

If I see one, I'll be glad to.

My wife is a jackass who knows nothing about pinball, yet kept winning (loudly) on every question. I passed along your post to her and she just laughed her ass off. Thanks for making us laugh. Sadly, we won't be there this year. She'll be with me at Allentown and Pintastic, and I'm thinking about doing Expo solo. If you're not at any of those, we look forward to seeing you in Texas next year!

#758 7 years ago
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:

Yes, and no disgusting massive farts in the e-m section. Two yrs some one cleared the area, sent people gagging and fleeing. Moms were covering their mouth and nose trying to get their children to safety.

I still feel bad about that.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

Reminds me of the bit where that comedian asks if women can be assholes

#760 7 years ago

Last call if you need to me to bring something for exchange or outright purchase. I will of course be available to haul your orders back home with me for plating if you want to drop them off to save on shipping. Can't wait for the show!

Just requested my airbnb for Saturday. Was originally only planning on going Saturday but might try and go Sunday too depending on if I can convince my girlfriend.

Flyer and keychain prices on eBay are insane. I think someone was selling flyers and keychains for $3 each at York pinball show this year!

I have a picture of Danni similar to that ... playing Rocky & Bullwinkle in her diapers when she was 2.

12 years later, she's #5 woman in the world. Sweet.

That is so cool Dave. Is it cheesy to say pinball is one of the few things that has spanned the generations?

Yeah, that's me playing with my dad, brother and granddad watching....

Jared ( https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/jared ) was looking for a room. Unsure if he's found one yet or not - and the link pinsiders using their username doesn't show his name in the list. He's pretty hard to miss, Jared Guynes on Facebook with the certified genuine blue check next to his name. I'll shoot him a pm to your post, too.

Can anyone confirm that they will be selling tickets at the door? I know that the website list prices when purchased at the door but I was worried about them selling out. Has this ever been an issue in the past? Thank you!

#787 7 years ago

I don't think they have every had a sellout situtation.
I'm sure there is a fire marshall limit... but doubt it's ever been hit

Quoted from chadderack:

We booked there 3 weeks ago and got the TPS group code rate. It appears to be directly across the street from the convention center side of the Embassy. So if that's as close as I can get, Ill take it!

Quoted from TimeForNostalgia:

Ummmmm ... that's not happening.

The game they are bringing is Jetsons. Which isn't a "Spooky" game as such.

Reference: Spooky podcast.

#796 7 years ago
Quoted from SpookyCharlie:

Good morning Pinsiders. Anything interesting going on in here lately?!
I have been going back and forth with Nic from The Pinball Company the last few days on feelings we all have on The Jetsons... and how to make this a better product. Trust me, Nic is a stand up guy... he has heard your voices, and we ALL want this to be right.
Bottom line is making any game in limited numbers like this is expensive. When you add the natural "less is more" costs of parts, metal, employees, licensing, etc etc... this game is NOT where it should be in price. Please understand THIS IS MY OPINION... doesn't mean I speak for anyone else.
Jetsons from day 1 was designed by The Pinball Company as a simple fun game that is easy to understand... Jon Chad did a FANTASTIC job on the art package! Not every game needs to be LOTR deep in rules. New players and kids are going to LOVE the game Dan & Nathan Goett came up with.
Having said all this... after talking to Nic, he has agreed to let Spooky make some changes on this. The Pinball Company is allowing us some extra room in the build costs, and we're going to make the MOST OF IT! While it's not "our" game, it's still made here, and both Nic and I want to see this be as GOOD as it can be for The Pinball Company, Spooky Pinball LLC, and everyone who would like to own this game.
So what does this mean? It means that the first 250 Jetsons games will be a flat $5,999... no price increases. It means that when we show up with this game at the Texas Pinball Festival and it sits PROUDLY in the Spooky Pinball booth, it will be what The Pinball Company intended their first game to be, but also more than you've seen to date... so stay tuned.
The fact that Nic and The Pinball Company let me come on here, make this statement, and agreed to let us help make their game BETTER than what you've seen at THEIR expense... tells you all you should need to know about their business and the type of people they are. We're very proud to have this association with everyone at The Pinball Company. We're helping them take steps to grow their business, and the work they've provided has certainly helped grow ours... again, all the risk is on us, not the consumer, and we're proud of that.
We'll see you in Texas and MGC with the results. You like what you see, call Nic and Brooke at The Pinball Company and get a game... or KT will be in the booth and can take your order as well.
Thanks for reading.
Charlie

I'm at Hyatt House too - it's very walkable across the intersection to the convention center. Last year I crossed the street several times on foot going to the 7-11 for drinks, bites to eat, etc.

Got my "your trip is coming up" email from Southwest yesterday - kinda wishing I booked an earlier flight since I don't land until 1:45 PM, but it'll have to do. Such a great show - can't wait to get there!

-Rob
-visit me at TPF! or at http://www.kahr.us to get my daughterboard that helps fix WPC pinball resets or for my Pinball 2000 H+V video sync adapter kit
