I loved everything about the show. I really enjoyed the conference room/speaker portion, I hope that is something that you are able to keep. Having pinball legends like Dennis Nordman, Greg Freres and Roger Sharpe there was just incredible! I hope next year brings more/different industry people to speak (fingers crossed for Pat Lawlor!!). Being able to try out all the new and upcoming games like Lexy, Full Throttle and The hobbit was another favorite part of the show that I hope will be similar next year. I loved playing Big Bang Bar (got drinker #3 high score first game )...maybe that could come back?

I'd like to see Marco or Pinball resource (especially for some Gottlieb parts) there next year. I was hoping to pick up some repro ramps and maybe some repro Bally/ Williams plastic sets. Maybe work on expanding the flea market area if at all possible. Other than that the show was absolutely incredible so I say keep it the same. Thank you to everyone that made it happen!

Edit: Loved, loved, loved the after party!!!

I think this is a great idea^^^

I agree with this. What made the after party so cool was that there were less people in there and you were able to play the games and hear them a bit more. Also it was a good time to talk game specific things while you were playing. I spoke to several different machine owners about the games they brought and their rules and shots and stuff like that. Playing and socializing is what I found enjoyable about the after party. With a loud band playing I think it would detract from that experience. Having the band at the end of the event was cool as it was kind of a send off/ grand finale type of thing while people were packing up. I vote keep it at the same time slot or cut it all together.

I agree with Forceflow that additional entertainment might not be necessary but if it's something you really want I think Karaoke would be entertaining. Perhaps it could be set up just outside the free play area where the concessions and tables were so you could SIT and enjoy it. After standing all day it would be nice to have a spot to take a break and sit but also be entertained. It would also keep the noise down a bit from the free play room but still have it close to all the action.

Lol! I guess that's what I find entertaining. It's funny to watch and listen to the tone def! It's morbid curiosity I guess...
