Large collection of machines. Usually you only have to wait to get on the New machine, so expect to wait to play AC/DC. Lots of machines for sale there but have to wait till Sunday to move them out. Very friendly crowd. I can tell you this, if you don't have a room at the Hilton where its being held you're outta luck. Heard its sold out for the weekend, but there are other hotels around. If you looking for deals on project machines, parts, backglasses then the Saturday morning parking lot sale is the place to be. We will be bringing a few machines. Hope to see ya there.

If there is any way I will be there with the whole family. George Gomez speaking, humongous parking lot show, lots of pins to play. wow.

I hope to make it to TPF 2012. I've never been to an expo/fest/tournament, so lookin fwd to it. There will be some Pinsiders from Louisiana going this year. Glad to see that some other Pinsiders will be there as well. Should be fun to play some machines that I have never played before. Then I can add some more machine ratings on Pinside website. I would like to play a few games on one of the new AC/DC machines.
Already bought & recv'd one of the new TPF 2012 t-shirts. And yes it appears they will have a Quick Draw pinball machine there (t-shirt design, see backglass for Gottlieb Fast Draw/Quick Draw).

Booked my room so they still have some. They would only do the $104 for Friday night though. Second night was $140 At least I got a room. Serves me right for waiting...

Im in I have a room for sat and fri night. Ill be bringing a cooler of hard to find beers to share with yall

I say bring the helmet.

I Don't think I'd have a prob- with the Helmet in my Luggage , but the Horn's are Filled w Thin-set i use for installing Tile and i have a bolt cemented in with the thread's poking out to Secure them to the helmet.. Security might think they are filled with an Explosive content.. Oh_no_!!.gif

I'm Not Gonna Chance it !!

I think this will pass through TSB Security
