Yay, randy party!
Randy gave me a lift back to the hotel after the PL party last year. Not sure if I'm really thankful for that.
I missed all the fun but yes, thanks for the ride Randy and Fattrain!
Quoted from PaulCoff:Is gryszzz still looking for a roommate? Please let Jared in.
Jared would stumble outta my room eyes so bloodshot/mind so blown he'd think he was the Atari pinball social media director and end up next to the Hercules all night like a wal-mart greeter.

The Pinball is a CUEBALL!
Quoted from MrBally:The Pinball is a CUEBALL!
I hope there's a Cueball Wizard in free play. Been wantin some more time on that one.
Quoted from Gryszzz:I500 is out because optos unobtanium
Which optos are unobtanium?
Quoted from Gryszzz:The 4 square targets. I bought new ones a few years back, and haven't seen any since.
What part do you need? The target face with the interuptor, or the opto board with the LEDs? I'd have to check, but I may have one or both laying around somewhere.
Aww...thanks B. But I'm not havin any problems with them now. Just not gonna chance it. Those stand ups optos are nil.
If ya got some lay in around I will absolutely take them.
Quoted from bangerjay:If the game is broken, you’re saying we can stop by the house and play it broken?
Exactly.
Quoted from Gryszzz:AANND just got an email from Randy.
ACDC it is.

Quoted from Gryszzz:You got it bub. But mine has a special playlist, so it will have to be louder.

Quoted from Gryszzz:You got it bub. But mine has a special playlist, so it will have to be louder.

Quoted from Gryszzz:Aww...thanks B. But I'm not havin any problems with them now. Just not gonna chance it. Those stand ups optos are nil.

Is this what you're looking for? If so, remind me to bring it to Expo with me. I no longer have the game, so it's not like it's doing me any good.

you bringing ghost in a shell? if so kick ass.
I had almost daily conversations with Westin in the weeks before always. I negotiated every Westin contract in fact Berks name was not even on it but he had copies once again in our separation agreement I was given the Westin contract and the right to do the show.There have been 4 different court dates now of which he postponed all of them .. The idea was to have some solid agreement before the show... We all know he announced his show somewhere else and in sept. I dont know if i am permitted at show because early on he insisted a few vendors insisted I was not. all bullshit.. I havemany many friends there for 33 years and I believe many more than him as I was more the face of expo.. still hoping for court hearing soon which he does not want at all... I will be back for sure..
also i always had free internet in guest rooms and halls and always was able to get rooms straightened out
Also for record I was always able to fix room issues with anyone AND get rooms for people up until lasy minute I was hands on every day with them .. come on guys chime in here for all those i helped....
Quoted from mikepin:come on guys chime in here for all those i helped....
You always helped me Mike.
I hope you have a table at Expo and can be there.
If you do your own Chicago show, I'll be there.
LTG : )
Quoted from cavalier88z24:you bringing ghost in a shell? if so kick ass.
Yes that’s the plan. Since MGC I have made a handful of small but critical updates. Gameplay is a lot better I just hope I have a chance to add some audio and code. Right now I’m solving the power wiring and head folding issues. I’ll post some details about the games locations when it gets closer. This is really the first time I attended more than a few hours of the show.

Once again, we know as you've mentioned this quite a few times.
Under your watch, Pinball Expo has been swirling down the toilet for years with decreasing vendors and reduced volume of games in the free play hall. I want to see how the new regime handles the show. If problems continue, then everyone can look at other reasons why the problems at Expo persist, but until we see a Mike-free Expo, we won't know.
I'd suggest staying on the sidelines for this year's show and then circle back to Berk to see what could be worked out for next year. Time heals all wounds and it sound like you guys need a break from each other.
Is the guy in the buggy with the dog, you know, the guy who yells at everyone all the time going to be there this year? He was a major drag, man!
Quoted from mikepin:also i always had free internet in guest rooms and halls and always was able to get rooms straightened out
always? its a 34 year old show there wasn't public internet for most of the shows history.
Quoted from mikepin:Also for record I was always able to fix room issues with anyone AND get rooms for people up until lasy minute I was hands on every day with them .. come on guys chime in here for all those i helped....
The silence is deafening.
Quoted from tamoore:Is the guy in the buggy with the dog, you know, the guy who yells at everyone all the time going to be there this year? He was a major drag, man!
that guy is MikePin, aka Mike Pacak (sp?).
Sounds like he is banned but plans to show up. I agree with Eric that his best bet both legally and otherwise are to just stay away.
Interfering with the show is not going to help his court case. Hell even posting here as he is, wont help.
Quoted from bangerjay:I feel like mike should be able to attend
I agree, he should be able to attend.
However, sounds like there are multiple? lawsuits happening, and if so it is probably best he does not for this year.
