I'm in for 2018. Hate I missed this year.

I'm sure they would like to make it start on Thursday, the issue is people who brings needing another day off work and what not.

Quoted from labnip:

excellenté.
bringing the baby?

Yep. Going to be looking for a babysitter for Friday and Saturday (at hotel) though. Will start a thread but if anyone in here is bringing their competent teenage daughter and she doesn't like pinball but does like money PM me. Here is the kid (who will be a year and four months old at time of next TPF).

Quoted from labnip:

just showed the 'ol lady the pic, and she said she would
this might be only way I could ever get her to TPF.

Yea, our goal is to find eight to ten hours of coverage on both Friday and Saturday. We'd take as much as we can get. Hoping to get the same girl for both Friday and Saturday, but we will see.

I plan to seek the same coverage for HAAG (we booked a suite for there too).

Quoted from labnip:

308 days till TPF

We need a HAAG countdown thread as well.

Regarding the poll, I think Friday through Sunday is fine but I think they should keep the play area open on Friday and Saturday till 2am instead of midnight. That would be really awesome.

Only 72 now. Going fast

Looks like it is now sold out. Impressive for sure. Snooze and lose.

Quoted from parsonsaj:

I will be there for my 3rd straight year. Met my wife there for the first time in 2015 so this is definitely an annual event for us!

Really? I've not heard of too many couples forming at pinball festivals, that's awesome!

Quoted from SunKing:

I will be there - attempting to retain my 'PartyKing' honorary title.

Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:

Hey look, Robin is going again.

Here's a pic from TPF-2016 taken at Pinsider meet-up at Wild Pitch restaurant that JJ w/ GEX lined up.

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!

#598 6 years ago
Quoted from MT45:

Just confirmed hotel and registration as well. My wife and I both attending. Our very first event after collecting for 6 years! Super excited

You picked a great one for your first event. Hope your wife is not too freaked out by all the pin heads. Ha!

Quoted from pinballinreno:

The other question is:
Will Carl be attending? Will there be deli meat sandwiches with american cheese?

He’s been pretty busy videoing his mother’s boyfriend benchpressing lately. Doubt he shows up.

Quoted from woody76:

There will be way more than 100 pinsiders at TPF

He means 100 Pinsiders that check the box as attending. This will help us know who needs avatar badges and who will show up for the Pinside social (assuming we do one this year) and what not for the show.

#660 6 years ago
Quoted from tp:

45 hour round trip for me. Am I crazy for thinking about this?

Not at all! If you’ve never made it to TPF it is an amazing show and absolutely worth it (of course, it’s 15 hours round trip for me...if I were at 45 hour mark I’d fly in on Spirit Air, which goes into Dallas, or something).

Quoted from NeilMcRae:

this is my main reason for coming to TPF. Can I buy an LE ticket?

I heard he was going to have a kissing booth mixed in around the Tex-Mex food truck area this year.

#719 6 years ago
Quoted from SunKing:

This I can guarantee.

Are you getting in on Thursday or Friday? We land around 4pm on Thursday.

#737 6 years ago
Quoted from Whysnow:

One of the reasons I like bringing games to shows also... It knocks the cobwebs loose.

Bring WOOLY, that would kick some major butt to have one at the TPF show.

#748 6 years ago
Quoted from epichoff:

I called the front desk and they told me that they are overbooked and will have to turn people away

People will be going bonkers if a reservation they had for nine months get cancelled due to over booking. Hopefully they get it figured out.
