Wow..I have not been staying on top of Treehouse timelines.... Awesome...So many great craft breweries now, good times! One thing to correct from last year, there was zero, I mean zero, advertising at the show for the craft beer that was being offered....Not one sign to be seen, someone dropped the ball on that one on their part or the shows....

Lol...

Have you been to Pinfest? Those are skeevy as hell

Question...I noticed "craft beers" is mentioned on flyers etc...So, is it Treehouse Brewery as mentioned before? If so, if that was in the flyers people who are not into Pinball would have come just for Treehouse beers, as the lines are hours at a time.. I know last year there was zero signage for the Brewery that attended, I didn't even know they were there...

Darn, that stinks...It's their new brewery that's under construction, the original is still chugging along... If anyone wants to make the drive down the street to Treehouse be prepared to wait a few hours...

Good to hear at least one local brewer will be representing!

The true meaning of "Wench" is a "young girl", "Bar Maid" etc, nothing offensive. So in theory the girls working at say, Tilted Kilt could be described as "Wenches" in old world English.

And he was asking about pf glass being available, not BG's...Will there be a vender selling pf glass?

LMFAO

I can only imagine what that could turn up lol.....We may start seeing a few "friendly for $$" woman showing up knowing it's at a hotel and there will be a few lonely souls floating around...

Everyone gets offended by everything these days, I'm surprised they have not censored all the T&A on the games yet (I'm sure it's in the works in someone's head). Last year I went to my best friend's 40th bday party wearing a "F it, let's Drink" Chive t-shirt. Approx two hours in, his father in law storms up to me and demands I remove it immediately as it's offensive to the "women"...If it was any other venue I would have told him to GFY, but I obliged (As my buddy tried to kick him out lol). My wife asked me why I changed, then wanted to put the shirt on herself lol.

So yeah, Beer girls usually come as part of a promotion team, so I doubt we will see any, but if they were there and I was with my wife and daughter, my wife would not be offended..hell, she picked my buddies and I up from an all day open bar/buffet rager at Desires (Gentleman's club) once (Those days are long gone, it was some time ago)

O, btw I freaken HATE clowns(with a passion), but I won't be offended if I see them at the show

I was generalizing society as a whole, not directing anything at you. And yes, everyone is different, if we weren't, this would be one boring as F world.. So yes, some people do live by the the Bible, some consort with unsavory characters and live life on the edge, while some are somewhere in the middle. (And as a public event, they will all be there) Point taken(without repeating everything you typed)... O, and F clowns

That looks cool....I will definitely grab two

Hitting up another bar tonight to distribute some Pintastic ad cards....Well, that's my excuse anyway

Well.....I went to the bar.....and I forget the freakin flyers at home, Doh! Did have a few Excellent female staff delivering my craft beers, and crayons for my daughter....really helped round out the experience for the evening

Good to know, I'll let you know my findings in 19 years.... (Sorry for not defining "Bar", "Bar" as in Family Restaurant/Bar chain with children's menu, which comes with crayons for child to color with)

Have more people reserved flea market spots so far this year? Always looking for more crap I don't need

No IPA? Isn't Munich Dark a fall beer? Too bad you couldn't get Treehouse Brewery to be there, but if they were there the line would probably be out the door and around the block...

Nice, I will try their beer for sure now, zero chance on other selections....

Severed heads...

Hope they come pre washed, so I can pour my tarmac 12oz's in the lot (Stelthly of course)

What is the deal with the auction? I was informed last year that you had to be present to bid/win.. I work weekends, so I will be there Friday, wanted to bid on a cab last year but said F it with the info I was given....So, clarification?

Ahh, ok Thanks....I won't even walk in the room then...

Thanks for the offer Ed..

"Backpage Pinball"? Lol

It was a joke.......

(Fyi, Backpage no longer exists anyway)

Just curious...Do People who show up on Thursday just to be able to enter the free play area pay the same as the Fri/Sat crowd who have access to free play, vendor and outside flea market? Or is it a reduced rate...

Ahh, that's cool...Yea, was only planning on Friday, as usual...

Sorry I missed you, got there a little later than expected, but stayed till 11pm (I think, memory got foggy near the end)..

Glad I skipped the BBQ, was going to give it a shot... Went with "Teddy G's" as usual, very good. Had Prime rib and a 34oz Wormtown "Be Hoppy"... Excellent!

Show was good but sucked that there was no outside Flea due to weather and auction room was locked every time I checked, so gave up on that. Played a lot of EM's, all played great. Everything else I wanted to play was either broken, turned off, or not on Freeplay (While in Freeplay area)(Just happen to be the few I wanted to play, not many were down). Loved that guy Bob's indoor flea setup, just like Pinfest, he had an awesome selection. The IPA was ok, I tried one. Also good prices on Pintastic swag, grabbed a grey T and a few glasses.
O, didn't see any "Pintastic Girls", but this guy made up for it

Thank You for coming and setting up! Sorry it blew out there... I think the outside is too ignored, existence unknown, weather dependent to properly exist here....The auction was a waste this year (And if you can't come Saturday, a waste of Space anyway)... Like just mentioned, maybe use it's floor space for flea market setup? Beats a locked door full of unused space for a small auction that happens prior to schedule so no one is there..... I'd much rather have a flea market to pick through than an auction I can't attend.....

Amen...... Friday afternoon the bathroom paper towel dispenser was broken (missing entire front) and a soaking wet quarter roll of paper towels was in a puddle on the sinks....I had a bottle of Purel in my pocket (glad I planned ahead)

So, maybe dry paper towels in the bathroom to start?

Ha! Yes, that should be a seminar lol...

I had a urinal that appeared to be location of a "Manscapeing" incident, never observed that much content on a urinal.....O, and it wasn't water under the urinals....Maybe a seminar on "proper aiming procedure" as well

I'm just curious, I know it's proper etiquette not to place a drink on someone's machine, but weren't pins mostly in bars over the decades? I had two full beers pour in two of my pins, no issues other than cleanup. I saw one EM with a warning right across the lock bar...So common sense dictated, every drunk walking by placed a drink on the glass and took a pic...(Good idea in theory, bad real world application) (I think of this as my beer is on my 40's EM slot )

And welcome to the "General Public"...

Lol Ed, picture just for reference...It's my basement

Looks like all the shows have an indoor flea market, is there really no room for it inside the hotel? It usually rains every year and was basically a bust this year due to weather and the fact no one knew it was out there. If it's not moved inside I doubt people will waste their time rolling the dice and reserving a spot. I almost reserved a spot this year as I have a butt load of parts in my loft collecting dust but did not want to be tied to a table in the back lot and risk bad weather, glad I decided not to pull the pin. If it's outside next year I definitely will not reserve a spot, not worth it. With the show being held on basically the July forth weekend next year, I don't think I will be able to attend anyway, bummer..

Yes....Many People (self included) will either have or be going to holiday cookouts/parties the weekend after the Forth which will affect numbers.

My $3 ice cold hotdog, in a cold wet bun from the "bar" was fabulous Prime rib from Teddy G's made up for it....

I didn't even see them, not that I really looked, but was expecting to see them floating around (And I was there like 12hrs)...Had to take photo ops with Capt Pintastic instead
