Quoted from fooflighter:Today was surreal to say the least:
(I'm the guy without the hat, wearing glasses) in the selfies, my buddy (pinballhead1) is the one posing with Gary and Steve
1. Made it to round 5 in the B standing tourney, I'm not a competitive player, but I can blow up a machine now and then. It was fun and great people.
2. Enjoyed the hospitality at JJ's suite and played some pinball, ate some chicken, and chatted up Gary, Seth and JJ and watched Halloween being played while Dwight Sullivan looked on next to me.
3. Ran into chatted with Steve Ritchie and Gary Stern again in the concourse, along with Jack Danger, Mike Vinikour and Zach Meny
4. Played tons of Godzilla, Legends of Valhalla and a bunch of EMs
5. Treated to about 30 minute Kenada piano concert at 11:30 pm in the convention concourse hallway while Todd Tuckey and Jack Guarnieri joined in.
6. Finally closed out the night by blowing up a GnR CE and Grand Championing it...
What a weird, surreal, pinball star struck day it was. I'll never forget it.
