Great news LTG! I look forward to saying howdy!

Sounds like the best show on the planet . Hopefully you Texans lighten me up I come from the Northeast and live with people wound so tight they crap out turds that look like corkscrews.

Hopefully I get to see Big Lou playing The Hulk Machines . The Increfible Hulk playing The Incredible Hulk? Sounds like a Geico Commercial

That'd be me. $200 flat packed, including tax. PM me for details.

Does it come complete with the darts?

Well I keep it mounted on the wall near the bathroom. I told Ed his pic is Exlax to my eyes. Helps to keep me regular. LOL

If anyone thinks they may want mods from us, please let us know before the show so we can bring them. We will have limited stock on hand given the distance we have to travel.

Also, if there are any distributors that want to add a little bling to their show games, please let me know and we will hook you up for free. Afm undercab tied to speaker lights, mmr speaker lights, backboard and trough lighting etc. Dialed in, Woz and hobbit lighting, etc.

Looking forward to our second visit to TPF. We will have a modded Star Wars pro in our booth thanks to a nice pinsider who donated their game to us for the show. It will be on free play so please stop by and check us out.

3 weeks to TPF! Can’t wait. Thursday early arrival followed by a complete immersion in Pinball fun right through Sunday afternoon. I need a fellow early bird to join me in trying a highly recommended Sushi place Thursday afternoon or evening after setup.

Where's that?

Interesting. Haven't been there, but Sushi Sake in Richardson is GREAT and prices are about the same. SS has slightly less selection of entree type things though...which could be a good thing or a bad thing. We rarely get anything other than just sushi there anyways, so I appreciate their narrow focus, but it probably turns away people that aren't necessarily into sushi all that much.

I texted the same thing to some of my buddies this morning. Can’t believe it’s now less than 3 weeks away. Truly my favorite weekend of the entire year.

A few pics of debaucery from the past couple of years.

Is there any place for viet/cajun crawfish near the event?

May I suggest Louisiana?

It's really popular in Houston right now

I see you have enough alcohol for Friday... but what about the other 2 Days ?

It stretches well with all the booze the hotel provides.

I managed to snag a last-minute room at the Embassy, which means I no longer need my Hyatt House reservation. Before I cancel, does anyone want to see if they will transfer it from me at the TPF rate?

I've got a room at Embassy, March 15-18th, TPF rate. Turns out we won't be able to attend this year, so if anyone needs a room at Embassy, message me and we can work out transferring the room.

PM Sent for room.....

Looks like The Circus Maximus team will have a seminar at noon on Saturday. Come hang out with us and learn about Python's Pinball Circus and our new "super secret" pinball project. And yes I'm being sarcastic when I say "super secret".

Since it's lunch time, we will see if we can grab a handful of pizzas for those that want to hang out with us.

Paul

Can't wait for this one. Did I say "Huge Thank You !" ?

LTG : )

Ugly Food. Great show

Does anyone know which company is making the Cosmic Translites?

TPF is doing the translights. You can find them in the TPF store.
http://texaspinball.com/tpf/tpfstore/

Now who actually printed them, No clue.

Super excited it's so close.

Got my roo sacs organised. Just need to pack some Tim Tam's and Vegemite.

20180301_203151 (resized).jpg

Spooky Pinball printed the translites

Can someone comment on the size of the translites? I know it is 27x17 but will this fit the SwapBox?

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/swap-box-introducing-a-new-game-roompinball-led-light-box-display

Roo sacs are cool, so is Vegemite !

LTG : )

If those roo sacs are what they look and sound like they are than it's just the sort of disgusting thing that I need to own.

Will be be selling them at the show? If so can you set one aside for me.

I will happily trade you some sacs for your roo sac.

how many should I bring for you?

I will no longer be able to make it. I have two weekend passes that I will sell for $50 each. Ed will transfer them from my name to yours. PM if you are interested.

Anyone coming from or through St Louis with room in a trailer?

Folks I got my Kosmic Khaos translite in the mail today. Too bad it wasn't signed but it makes the hunt to get it signed more fun now. If you have been holding off don't because you are going to regret it. It looks even more impressive in front of you. Like it's one of the best pieces of art I have seen that is pinball related. The contrast with the greens and especially the reds just pop out.

There are awesome! We printed 50 and only 17 are still available:

One less now

Beautiful piece of art - picking it up at the show to have it signed by Blake

I made a bulk order for people that wanted one on our podcast, guests etc.

I'm happy to get some more if people want, pretty sure they sell them at the airport. Would be about 15 to 20 usd. No profit just helping people be weird, super weird.

And yes they are kangaroo nut sacs. How do you tell they are real? They have no seams

Mine is full of Australian dollar coins that you can win off me if you beat me at a dollar game (easy)

I would like a roo ball sack. Can you bring me one to TPF? I can pay you on PayPal if you need it in advance or when you arrive. I’ll get some US dollar coins and we can play some Aussie vs US dollar games. I’ll be at the Pinside meet & greet.

Chris

Cool ill grab one for you. No need to pay in advance. If anyone else wants one just PM me.

I gotta say...that's every bit as goofy as those nuts that people put on their cars. LOL. I mean....yay for utilitzing all the parts of an animal and all that but... LMFAO... as if most people need a reason to wave their own dicks around any more, now we're gonna start waving the junk around from other animals too? Doesn't sound like Aussies are all THAT different from 'Muricans!

It is a coin purse Scott D opted to bring it to light with the whole TNA, sack rack, and now you have a place to put your sacs. A sac sack if you will

All just in good fun and games.

Plus, I can now teabag all your games without getting and indecent exposure ticket

Yeah, I got that...lol...

Nice sacs! I will be bringing my sac a well .

20180303_094502 (resized).jpg

I am going to be bringing my sacs to TPF in my sac. My sac will be heavy to start, but probably will be leaving lighter as I am not that good at pinball.

Full Nitro Ground Shaker restore done and ready, TPF bound.

Time to shoot more holes.

Your flippers are misaligned

This just in...
The Marco Specialties/FUN! booth will have 18 brand new Stern pinball machines (and possibly more if anything is unveiled). Also a couple other vendors will have new Stern games as well as some exhibitors... so I’m estimating 25+ brand new Stern games will be available to play. I think this sets a record?
PLUS: there will be (4) Houdini pins from American Pinball, (4) Total Nuclear Annialation from Spooky Pinball, multiple new Medieval Madness, Attack from Mars, and the highly anticipated third game from Chicago Gaming. Multimorphic will have (10) P3s set up. Circus Maximus will be unveiling game #2. Spooky Pinball will be unveiling Alice Cooper’s Nightmare Castle. VPCabs will have dozens of Vertigo’s and a special unveiling. (3) Safe Crackers will be awarding special TPF magic tokens. Not to mention the dozens of custom and beautifully restored machines competing in our Best in Show Awards. Designers, artists, and specual guest: Lou Ferrigno! And so much more! Are y’all ready for TPF2018?

Added over 6 years ago: Also KingPin Games is bringing an army of JJP games including Pirates of the Carribean!!
