Quoted from Cidco:

Since I haven't seen it posted yet, the dates for TPF 2018 are March 16th-18th. Mark your calender's...if you already have a 2018 calendar for some reason.

Oh boy if those are the dates, St Patricks day is on Saturday! We're going to have to make everyone where green and drink green...

Quoted from Quiddity:

I'm not sure how there was little to no parking, anytime I glanced outside the hotel room window on Saturday the top of the parking deck was empty (like, literally, there was maybe six cars out there). There was overflow parking for trucks at the ballfield, and plenty of parking right across the street in addition to the parking deck at the hotel.

Actually on Saturday after lunch the garage was completely full and we drove around it a couple times waiting for someone to back out so we could get a spot. Being a hotel guest and having the garage space sold out for $5 a visitor was actually pretty annoying. On the flip side I heard people complaining they spent the $5 for parking but never could find a space. Next year I will not be driving anywhere on Saturday so my truck can just stay parked without worrying about getting back in.

It'd probably be best if the parking garage was reserved for hotel guests and exhibitors/vendors as another perk. General parking could be across the street and would limit a lot of the traffic that was 'lost' trying to find parking and avoid the reserved food truck areas.

She's done. I'm going to pick it up this weekend. It's been several years in the making and I finally decided to have Keith Holbrook do the restore for me (taken several months to get it all together) to make sure it came out right.

We put in everything I wanted. New cabinet, killer sound (custom speaker enclosure, amp, etc), the all white CPR playfield, chromed rails, coin door, etc, black chrome legs, full metallic paint with clear coat. I do have a NOS Backglass I'll put in when it gets to my place. This is the CPR mirrored in the photo.

It will be at TPF 2018 in Keith's booth. I want to show it off (and go for an award) and Keith wants to show off too. It's got a lot of custom work done to it and he really deserves the credit for sticking with me and getting it put together.

Ok. We're throwing down the gauntlet here.

Come see and play what we believe is the best Centaur in existence. If you have a better one bring it!

This isn't a stock boy, this is intended to be an over the top hot rod. Playing a game with Steve Ritchie on a Centaur three years ago at a TPF was the inspiration to do this and I've been working towards it ever since.

You never know what you'll see or who you'll see at TPF. However each one I have attended has inspired me in some way.
