Bowling Green, KY
No it’s fine. Even with a big truck and trailer. I helped Chris with Pinball Plating last year and had no issues parking the rig.

I had a good time overall, but security kinda pissed me off. They just seemed over the top. Thursday I was kicked out of the vendor room when I first got there. Granted I did not have my pass or armband because the vendor I was helping was out to lunch and had my pass. I politely and quietly exited the room because I was in the wrong. About 45 min later I get my lanyard and stuck my armband in my lanyard pouch. Same guard walking down the aisle comes straight to me and I just showed him my name tag. His reply “WHERES YOUR ARMBAND!?” I flipped my pouch over and showed it to him. He was like “YOU NEED TO PUT IT ON!” Obivously kinda ill because I was back in and legit when he had kicked me out earlier. Then he proceeded to tell every vendor around me to put their armband on or they were getting kicked out! Friday I roll down their around 11 am and the doors are open to the vendor hall with guards at the door. I just walk on through showing them my armband like I had done it seemed 100 times the day before. They stopped me and was like who are you with and why do you need to be in here? I was like huh? They said if you don’t need to work on your game or booth you don’t need to be in here. I was like whatever man and found something else to do. Then saw them giving Jersey Jack a hard time about getting in the room. They were policing “outside drinks” all weekend which I get it but kinda sucks also. Saturday was the Sternorama party which had free beer. I was like sweet “inside drinks!” I tried to get into the vendor hall with my “inside drink” and was stopped yet again...... Luckily one of the other guards was there and was like that’s from the party right? I said yeah and he let me in.
Other than that it was good seeing old friends and making new ones!
Quoted from flynnibus:so... put your armband on like you are supposed to (so they can't be passed around)
I did. I literally had just gotten it like 10 mins before and was busy helping setup. Thanks for the tip!
Quoted from Gryszzz:Short cop was extree cool.
Yes he was! When I got stopped with my Sternorama free beer by one of the other guards he was like "that's tea right?" Then let us in.
Quoted from Timerider:I'm curious... do you know if they simply cut power? Or did they just try and announce & usher people out?
Because at MGC, they cut the power right at 5:00pm on Sunday. All the machines suddenly go dead. It's great because while there are (very few) "Hey!!" and "Awe"... for the most part; there is always a spontaneous rousing cheer from the crowd.
Quoted from chad:About 12:15 am Rob Craig and crew made his way around around and pulled the plugs and told us to leave.
Yep basically it was "if you don't have a vendor pass you have to leave."
