    No schedule = no comment I'm sure.

    If game hall open fri afternoon does that mean no expobrawl since that usually occupies the game hall?
    I am Looking forward to seeing the schedule of events.

    I can comment that I am sad to see there is still no brawl announcement and will be going to pinball life open house on friday in place of my normal brawl attendance and then hanging at expo.

    Huh?

    If your questioning the responce on the game all being open on Friday, yea!, that's great and should have been done years ago. First time I went to Expo was on a Friday and I had nothing to do. Bored off my rear end. Went home and didn't go back that year. I have other obligations on Expo Fridays now, but I think opening the hall up is a GREAT idea. Why not open it up all day though?

    #12 9 years ago

    Its open from 1pm friday UNTIL sunday??? what more can yoU WANT.. dam pinball people dont come a live before 1 pm

    #13 9 years ago

    Thanks Mike. Really looking forward to seeing what you have cooked up for the 30th anniversary.
    Extra hours are much appreciated.

    #14 9 years ago

    So of you buy a one day ticket, say thursday, can you play all night? I've never figured out the "rules" to expo.

    #15 9 years ago

    I am coming in Friday so I am very happy you are opening it at 1. Thanks Mike!

    Welllll, the countdown clock starts the minute you buy your ticket, and if your not out in 24 hours, well then....

    #20 9 years ago

    Having it open at 1pm is much better and not closing until Sunday is great. Do you have a food vendor this year?

    was out there yesterday picking up parts, I could tell you about it, but I could not do it justice, so you will have to see it for yourself. It was hard to think they could top the lazy susan, but they have.

    Quoted from Pdxmonkey:

    Not sure. I think they are before me.
