Question: I will be registering and bringing my pin with me this year (possibly one arcade machine as well). What admission level is included in that? I saw on the site that there is access to the Friday night party, but the Extra Ball lounge and hour early admission to vendors is only part of purchased packages? Are those available separate, or does one need to buy the entire package even after getting a free admission day from bringing a machine?

Just want to get those details down before I register.

Well...all I’ve got is my Firepower...so that will have to do!

So I registered my game on the site...now what? Do I get a confirmation or something?

Also: I am bringing my machine (as stated above), so my admission then is free. I am bringing my brother along and he is staying in the hotel with me, helping me unload it, etc. How does he get a pass for all the three days that we will stay with the machine?

Exactly as I figured...thanks.

And about the machine? Do I get some kind of registration confirmation?

Thanks!

Can we register our games yet?

No Steve Ritchie this year? Of course, the year I bring my FP...

Can't wait till the game list is up.

Hot damn! Those bringing machines can attend, yes?

I hope that includes the Williams display brackets...I'd pick up some of those!

Very excited for this. I have a FP backglass I am meaning to restore.

I see that the games list is coming together...awesome!

Two questions:

1. I haven't received my machine registration email yet...coming soon?

2. My brother and I are both staying at the hotel for Thus-Sunday morning. I am bringing my Firepower and will be setting it up probably around 10 AM. He technically doesn't get access till Free Play starts Thursday night. It's no issue for him to help me set up the machine earlier in the day, right?

Cool..sounds like things are heating up, in a good way!

That is awesome, I can’t wait to attend!

Pinball is not allowed in some places?

Better pull up close to the building and pull the pins out quick! Is there a tent or awning that we can pull under to unload at the entrance?

+1. Get your stuff out, even if just in the lobby, park elsewhere, then come back for your stuff.

Set up early in the afternoon...been a blast so far!

Was wondering why I couldn't play today. Hopefully the vendors have one tomorrow?

Hey, you got my brother and I playing The Shadow...thanks!

Us too!

Hey, what time tomorrow is the award ceremony at night?

Wow, thank you both! Definitely very humbled from all of the positive feedback i've gotten.

By the way, I am selling my original backless and legs for quite cheap...I just can't stand out there at the flea market all day! If anyone is interested, just send me a PM off topic.

Dude that thing was really cool, I played a few times. Love how the coils ground by touching the side of the metal hole!

That ring mod was super cool...never seen that.

Already awaiting the 2019 thread...why can’t it be next June already?
