Whoa! How did I miss this thread? I am excited for PATZ (as always) and I will be bringing at least 1 pin.
Quoted from djblouw:I vote for Dr Dude. Gotta love the Dude.
Strongly considering it since that Sys11 is built like a tank. It had a great time at PATZ years ago...then Mayhew made it shine and glow! RLM stepped in for some much needed wiring issues with the GI and WOW does it look good.
This is why I love PATZ! Never would have met lots of these great pinheads without the show!
Looking forward to another show, auction and all of the cool stuff that shows up!
Quoted from Dayhuff:As for the November party this year....? We'll see how we feel about keeping that going since it's grown so much over the years and hosting a party for 200 people is a huge expense and sucks the life out of us each year as it's a lot of work that starts months ahead of time.......but we'll see.
Wait...what??? Say it ain't so, John! I understand how you feel though...lots of traffic and time on your end! Thank you for giving to the pin community!
But seriously, this community would be sure to pitch in with time and cash!
Quoted from Insane:I plan on bringing Joker Poker, and Multi-Pac Cocktail. Can't wait...
Hey man! Looking forward to seeing you there! Always great hanging out w/you and the crew!
Quoted from Insane:Same here. Did you change your handle?
Yes! Since I am not reviewing games for the newspaper anymore, the BC GAME GUIDE didn't make sense. The YouTube channel is still up since it has all of the pinball and arcade videos.
ONE MONTH AWAY FROM THE AUCTION!
Had to bump the thread too...man, time flies!
Great time to have a show in Michigan. Warmer weather...tax checks rolling in...time to get some new stuff in the arcade!
Happy to talk with a lot of my friends today about PATZ. What games to bring, what games to sell, what games hoping to buy, what vendors will bring, what vendors will sell...
Gotta tell ya, I am pumped for this year's show. Going to take a few trips, but lucky I live near by!
Looking forward to it! Counting down!
Last game packed up! This is Underspin's Tron. People think I bought it from him. This is not true. It is his pin and I just gave him a very large deposit to have it at my house.
Come to the show and see how badass his made it! The Rock Custom Pinball mods will be on display as well.
Lots of stuff rolled in later Thursday night. At 9:45pm, here is what was there!

More pics from today! I tried to post photos of what I saw that was NEW for today. I counted over 100 machines in the room today!
Note: I missed some pins that came in the late afternoon/early evening. Also, my pic of the AMAZING DE Simpsons didn't turn out (out of focus). That machine was wonderful!

Today is the auction at PATZ! No fee! Cash only! Pins, vids, playfields and back glasses only! Projects and non-working games welcome!
Be sure your game is in the registration area between 1 and 2 pm. The auction starts at 3pm.
Full rules can be found through the link on the official PATZ website. Hope to see you, your stuff and your CASH there!
It is been my experience that games from the main area migrate into the auction area as people who want to sell them will put up a modest reserve and let the market decide! There is usually a rush between 1:45 and 2 PM to put stuff on the south end of the conference center by Dayhuff’s booth.
Quoted from crlush:any pics of the auction?
I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the auction since I was helping John run the thing, but I do have this...

Thanks to John, SueAnn, Ron, Matt, the awesome guy who brings the PA and everyone else makes this fun every year!
Quoted from pmWolf:It was also nice being able to play a game where I got to shoot a lion in the face with a peanut gun. It's not every day that you get that experience.
Until you realize this was a zoo for animals with peanut allergies and your job was to euthanize them with tasty treats. So sad.
I didn't check how many plays were on the Tron. Nice to see it got lots of love... Now it's getting a much needed shop job. YAY!
Quoted from earthvsmattGR:I had an amazing time- thank you to the Harmons and everyone who worked/volunteered to make the show run as well as it did!
I finally picked my first EM- Blue Chip !
Glad it went to a good home! Thanks to Underspin for the delivery and helping me get it last year!
Quoted from GravitaR:Game quality was way up in the free play area. Best part of the show.
Absolutely! I'd say that this was 100% accurate. There were multiples of some popular games to play. If you wanted to play Iron Maiden, you could (maybe a little wait). Dailed In? Yep. Walking Dead? YES!
Kevin had me get an estimate of games on the floor Friday night. I counted almost 100 working games NOT INCLUDING the tournament games. Thanks to all who brought them - I know how much time/effort it takes to bring them and then let people play them. Thanks again!
