So technically by just playing in the event I can say "I did better than Bowen at Pinburgh 2015'

That could be a new shirt

I also would like to know when the code for hotel is planning to be active.

I would prefer to stay on site but only if I can get the advertised rate on the replay site of $139?

edit: I type too slow. Bowen, will you be able to more precisely denote the time of hotel code going active? I want to make sure I can get a room at the bargin price.

If you have a car you can drive a bit and find VERY cheap lodging. If you plan to stay local to the event then $140-$240 per night is to be expected. It can go up from there if you so desire.

I plan to book a refundable room within cab/walking distance for now and then decide later if I want to upgrade to the Westin or sleep in tent city.

I am guessing there will be lots of drops on/by March 31st.

Heidi and I purchased tickets with the intention of going but with the knowledge that we have till then to firm up plans and make a final decision with no negative finacial implications.

In other words, if you are interested then best to get on the waitlist and see what happens.
I would bet money that everyone currently on the waitlist gets in.

I'll be honest. I am coming for pinball and anything else is a distraction that I will likely avoid.

Then again, this is a pinball forum so I would expect that to be the main interest of others in attendance from this board .

Is this you Bowen? I would pay to see you redo this...
