Quoted from Ronnie1114:I try and make it. Does it cost money to get in?
Yes.
Quoted from dasvis:Yeah! Three of us coming up from Salem, Oregon for all 3 days. Have hotel rooms reserved @ the Marriott across the street. We are ready to tear up Tacoma. Too bad WA state has such crappy tittie bars.....
Haha save your money
The soda bars suck
Quoted from Acejedi:I fly in on Friday morning and Fly home sunday afternoon.

See ya Saturday homie!
I'll be there Friday and Saturday, maybe even Sunday. Not bringing any games myself, but hopefully there will be 3 TRON pros there with my fiber optic ramp kits installed.
I'll be there as a vendor selling CPR, Pinball Inc ramps and a few other things. Stop by Starship Fantasy.
We are talking about our summer time RV trip right now (though WA is a bit far even in the RV). When is this show, just out of curiosity?
I'm there. Set up with my usual board/game repair and parts.

Ah, too soon. Perhaps next year!!! I really want to drive around and hit the different pinball shows. I think that would be a blast to do one year.
Quoted from dgpinball:Saturday to sit and listen to all the seminars.
I am betting that in one of the seminars you will find out how many miles of copper wire are in a pinball... but it will also be the one you can win an X-men pro at so I figure it will be worth showing up for the Metallica info and a 1 in 100-200 chance at a free NIB
I wonder what kind of knocker sound you hear when instead of a free game, you win the friggen' game for FREE
Unless I am playing in the tournament that night...
To each their own. Seminars have always been a highlight of shows for me. That is until I started having a booth at them, now I can't usually leave my booth to pee, let alone sit through a seminar.

I'll be there with my son. He's so excited. My best friend might show up too. Trying to convince him to sit through Gary's act to win us the X-Men so I can go to Skit-Bs seminar. They're back to back and I can't ask my seven year old to sit through three hours of talking.
Anyone else bringing their kids?
EDIT: Probably be there Friday to play, Saturday at least part of the time to get my ass kicked in my first ever competition and listen to Skit-B. I think the kids' tournaments are on Saturday too.

Ouch, not sure if having a random pinsider is worse than holding it all day but I would not mind watching the booth for a few minutes ( I am not sure why you might want to trust myself or anybody else you had never met before with thousands of $$$ worth of stuff though.... so I undersand if you pass on that).

The free game will cost $20 to buy a ticket I belive.. Not just show up and win.
I will be there, likely all three days ..
Also the vendor list should be on the main page for the site.
Been all 5 years and have listened to zero seminars. I'll let dg fill me in on what wonders jjp is spewing this year, I come to play pin, especially games I can't find elsewhere.

Extraball is it a good place to buy a game? Seen any deals there in the past?
We will have a booth set up with all of our stencils, new cabinet leg protectors ( big and small ), dmd filters and a few playfields. The playfields are TAF and Centaur. Might bring a few more just depends on space
Right now we are bringing 8 pins for play and possibly a few more. Also will have a few for sale a Avengers LE, Metallica Pro, TOTAN, EATPM and JM available for sale.

Short answer no

Wouldn't expect you to appreciate the seminars, you might actually learn something 
Amazing how you can troll about WOZ no matter what the subject too 
Quoted from Concretehardt:Extraball is it a good place to buy a game? Seen any deals there in the past?
I've only been to one pinball show (the Texas Pinball Festival this year) and didn't think it was a particularly great venue to buy a machine. There were plenty for sale but the prices didn't seem right to me. I wonder if it is like that at all the shows.
I really want to go to another show.
Quoted from extraballingtmc:This guy is there all weekend.
Can't wait to play some woz
See you there Trev. If you're lucky, I'll let you take a picture of me standing next to WOZ... your favorite Woz's together 
Quoted from markmon:Pdxgeek and I are helping out in the pinballbulbs booth. I'm bringing a couple machines that'll be in the booth but available for public play.
Thank you for bringing games to play!
I can't say I have done that... hard to fit in my walk-on ferry luggage in years past, and this year the dang kids are kinda sitting where my pins usually fit in the 'hauler
Bottom line, bringing games is more risk/effort than not bringing games... thank you for stepping up where others cannot/do not!
We will be there with our products of course and some cool new spotlight kits and a few LED kits that have been started. For non-standard products though I know I'll have some white water ramps and some ToM mods I'm not putting on my games. Markmon/PDXGeek said they'd help out and loan some games to the booth, as markmon said above, and I know he has some parts as well to bring.

any show specials?
Quoted from Spudgunman:any show specials?
Yup, you get to hang out with us and play some sweet pins we are bringing with our new light mods!
Seriously though, yeah we have some cool free stuff and other pricing specials as well. Should have a few newer bulbs there that will not be on the site also.
cool. I need some LED's for a spaceshuttle! and ..and... and...
just got a stack of those LED driver boards!
