I'll be there! Any word on which games will be in the tournament?

So pumped for this! I was going to bring my Abra-Ca-Dabra but it not quite where it needs to be mechanically yet. Looks like theres plenty of machines still! Where are they going to put them all?

Very excited to get in my Judge Dredd and BK2K fix!

Wish I could make it there this weekend, but I'm too busy..

Hope you all have a great time!!!!

-Todd.

Unfortunately, no Bad Cats at the show this weekend, it isnt going to make it. It has been replaced with Funhouse.

Hey guys. I'm the organizer of this event. Hard to believe it's 2 days away already!

Glad to see some out of town Pinsiders are coming out to the show. It's going to be a great time! Hopefully some of you will be playing in the tournament on Sunday as well.

My friend Nik & I were live on Tuesday mornings show on FOX17 talking about the Pinball Pyramid show. Nik is a much better public speaker than I am so I'm glad he came with me, heh. Here is the link:

Thank you so much to the guys that are bringing machines and helping with setup and tear down. It wouldn't be possible without you!

Be sure and introduce yourself if you come out. I'll be the guy fixing machines and running the tournament on Sunday.

I bought the 2 day pass, what a steal! If anyone is near GR definitely try to make it out today. Great setup. Major props to debaser for setting this up. So nice to have something on this side of the state. Really hope this can happen more often.

Might be able to make it there today depending on the hours of the show. Does it start at NOON or at 2pm? Thanks.

Btw, if you're on the fence on going... I went last night, it's in the concert area of pyramid scheme. It's an awesome place to play pinball in! All games played very well and weren't pitched to drain the ball, so every game was fun to play. If I lived closer I'd go there today.

I'm sure that I'm just pointing out the obvious, but since I've never heard of the Pyramid Scheme, I must ask anyway. Is the name "Pyramid Scheme" a tribute to (or is it spoofing, for that matter) the big pyramid scheme known as Amway Corporation, which is based in Grand Rapids and its giant con artist, billionaire owner, Dick DeVos?

A few pics from yesterday.

Glad to hear you guys had a great time! I did my best to make it a show that everyone could enjoy. Thanks again to Tsskinne for bringing the Spring Break (I had a blast on that machine!), to djblouw for bringing WHO dunnit and Gladiators (congrats on the Fire purchase!) and to everyone else who brought machines and helped with setup and tear down. And thanks to everyone who came out to the show and enjoyed some great pinball and perhaps a few tasty brews.

It was a long 4 days of removing pins from people's basements, loading them in the truck, unloading them in the venue, setting up, fixing machines, running tournaments on Saturday & Sunday, and then tearing down and moving machines back to their owners houses. It was exhausting and I've got the bruises to prove it but it was all worth it. It's a labor of love for sure.

Nice vid. You actually caught me entering initials into Star Wars at 1:31!! 222 million I think...

Thanks again debaser for helping move our machines.

Here's some pics of the machines being dismantled in the garage, ready to be moved back home!
