Thanks to everyone that e the show so great. Keith and Marvin run a great show that is a lot of fun
Had lots of compliments on the leaderboard we had set up. Hope you all enjoy that part.
Was able to chat with so many people, which is the best part about the shows to me. Can’t wait for next year!!
Excellent show! I have next year's dates on the calendar so I can take off work on Thursday and Friday!
This was my 2nd PinBrew and as much as I loved the first one..... this one topped it!!
Had a great time, met some new friends, had some delicious food and brews, and took a runner up in the Best Solid state category with my Silverball Mania 
.
Congrats to Paul pvogel3634 and his Beautiful Firepower! It looked and played like it was a NOS game. Very well deserved!
Already looking forward to next year. Now to decided which game to start working on to bring to PinBrew 2024.

I didnt see the hood up on either one of them, one time all 3 days.

Of course not. They're not made by spooky!
Quoted from cookpins:Got any audit numbers to share?
I never recorded total plays. I'd rather not know lol. Everything held up well other than Creature had a coil for the bowl ramp down fail and it killed the driver for it. Just ordered the parts to fix that and also the vertical upkick for the slide broke on Friday so I hacked together a ball popper cup to a plunger assembly that I drilled a hole into the end at the show.

My Silverball Mania held up as best as she could with i would guess 125+ plays over the 3 days.
Had to resolder a wire to the kick back coil, realign the right flipper that came loose, adjust the outhole switch, and reseat the backbox light connector a few times.
Other than that she is tip top..... not smokin or anything
Great show! We really had a good time. The PPN reviewed the show on the latest episode:

Had a fun time at the show as a vendor. Unfortunately I don’t think I will be returning to the show as a vendor next year after a couple of incidents of potential theft with a local. Kept working a deal with a guy that kept hiding items under other already negotiated items in his pile when my back was turned, and called him out on it twice. Of course he played ignorance but I’ve heard that it’s not the first time that these slimy actions have occurred. Needless to say I will not supporting their up and coming “fast rhymes location”. And find it unfortunate that these actions happen in environments like this.
Be safe next year vendors!

This has to be some kind of record for a 3 day show!

In account for one of those plays

I might have estimated low on mine. If you had 640, i would think that mine was pretty close to that also.

I would say so, was a good stopping place to and from the taps, and generally a much quicker game on our classics, no fluff, just tough.
Many reasons why this show is so good.
Great venue, tons of space, games spread out, great game selection, plenty of vendor space, easy to move games in and out, great food, great beer, very well organized.
If anyone is selling a space station or roller games, I am interested. I’m also thinking about bringing my tmnt premium to trade for wonka, Jurassic park, Godzilla or something in that range +/- cash or sell outright. Can’t wait!
