    Interested in seeing how this plays out. Time line being different puts a different dynamic into play. Sept 2023 is right after school starts, so may interfere with attending. At least kids won't be able to attend, possibly wife as well. That might rule it out for me. We enjoyed the family aspect, despite the accommodations.
    Only time will tell for us

    Quoted from dannunz:I understand the summer shows made it easier for some families to attend. But it also made it more difficult for many people to attend due to being on vacation. So we can’t win either way. But don’t forget you only miss half day on Thursday and half day on Friday. But can still attend Friday afternoon, evening. All day Saturday and Sunday till 2pm

    That doesn't necessarily exclude us from coming but conversations will need to be had

    I'd like to bring a game or two. Is there a way to have the game placed in the ebl?

    Quoted from docquest:

    There will 2 GTF's in the vendor hall. When the vendor hall closes at 9 one of the GTF's will be moved to the extra ball lounge for some after hours fun. Then it will get moved back to thr vendor hall in he morning.

    Twerking cows! In the EBL!

    We had a blast this year.
    Kids really enjoyed the pool and bands. Brass band on Friday and Foo Cover band on Saturday. Great for them to have the video game options.
    Food options outside hotel were nicer than in the past.
    Homebrew room was a ton of fun.
    Couple of great creations. We really enjoyed magic forest, poker, and circuit meltdown.
    Was amazing to be able to play GTF, Pulp Fiction, Foo Fighters and Venom. Nice to see some well cared for games, especially a fully working Johnny Mnemonic.
    Club rooms were a highlight, and refreshing temps at that. Lots of great games, many you don't see outside of private collections.
    Hotel was a big step up. Warm in certain places, but easy to move about.
    It would be awesome to see a swap meet or something similar planned for future. Nothing crazy, and maybe another vendor of parts and/ or bulbs.

    Great job! Looking forward to April

    A great show has all vintages on pins.
    Its awesome to see all the different machines from EM's to modern fresh out of the box games.
    There are so many great EM's as well as crappy modern games. It's fun to play them all

    Quoted from dannunz:

    You guys....come on no show is better than Texas lets be real now lol

    Texas is a high bar. I've been to both. Its very close between the two shows
    The move this year, took Pintastic to another level. It'll be hard to get to the Texas level without expanding to a larger venue. But the time frame going forward, the better option for me and my family is Pintastic.
