TPF tickets purchased! Plane tickets purchased!

#552 6 years ago

We are looking for someone willing to put a game in our booth on free play that we can mod for them. Please contact me if you are willing. We did GB at pintastic, st at York and met at Allentown.

what game are you looking for? If something 1994 or older then LMK and I could possibly bring something.

Quoted from Whysnow:

Thank you for your offer. Mainly a game(s) that has decent mod potential. From the 90s, games like tz, taf, ss, etc and just about any stern from 2003+.

#555 6 years ago
Quoted from Ed_in_Texas:

Presenting the TPF 2018 theme and shirt design! Art by Blake Dumesnil. "Kosmic Khaos" concept by Mark Ritchie (more on that to come).
Pre-Registration and full website update will open October 1st! Texas Wizards Tournament entries, an IFPA - International Flipper Pinball Association and PAPA - Professional & Amateur Pinball Association Circuit Event, will go on sale November 1st.
Get on our email list for show news and announcements!

Will this be made available in poster/print format? I think you would sell a ton of these if you do. See Pinsanity posters and their popularity...

You bringing Batman SLE again?

I’m bringing the funk! Haven’t showered in 2 months!

#558 6 years ago

For anyone who couldn't get a room at the festival, I stayed at the Westin down the road last year and the rooms and resort were really nice. I plan to stay there again this year.

Quoted from Jeremy8419:

There is also the hyatt which appears to be directly across the street and possibly closer to the actual game area?

Labnip is back!! I can officially start getting excited about the show!

#565 6 years ago
Quoted from Whysnow:

Yeah. The Wyndam is on a golf course. Just a nice resort, in my opinion.

#566 6 years ago

If you need a room for TPF, there are several great hotels within walking distance. The Hyatt House lobby is just as close or closer to the show entrance as the Embassy. TPF rates for surrounding hotels are on the TPF hotel page (if there is no link, you will need to call.

#575 6 years ago

Looks like five more Pinsiders have now marked that they are planning to attend TPF-2018:

Titan_Pinball

I’ll be coming as well. We will be hosting the FUN! Booth with probably 12-14 machines including new Sterns, CGC and API Games.
Me and my son are also doing our first father/son full restoration on our Nitro GroundShaker we hope to have ready in time for TPF.

Myself and two friends will be back for our sixth year. Looking forward to another great year. Couldn't get into the embassy but around the corner at another hotel.

That pic is awesome! That was a fun night. Martjin is also coming I believe.

Gosh, I’m glad I’m going. Last year was the first year I’ve missed since 2012 I believe. We made arrangements with my mother to watch the baby so we will be totally free and ready to party!

#595 6 years ago

I'll be there, I'll have a booth where I'll be selling my portable rotisserie along with other gaming and pinball related items, and will have Polynesia restored, polished, and finalized by NicoVolta and myself on the exhibit floor.
