Quoted from mikepin:This is by far NOT the correct story .. EVERY Year ROb says hes not comming back? He did call me when I was driving into Chicago traffic in rental truck you are NOT allowed on phone in city I dont have blue tooth I told him that I could not talk when I was stopped in traffic I text him Six months ago or so he said he was not comming to expo You can see his schedule then . You guys might remember the post on here.. I NEVER told him he was banned or not coming back . I did tell a few people messing with him knowing they would tell him . This whole thing is blown out of proportions MOST people I talk to say the vendor hall was great Yes we lost a few and gained a few there were ALOT of great gamesin Vendor hall although SOME vendors refused to set on free play The game hall was light as we had 45 games from JOHN PEDERSON last year Overall PINBALL EXPO still offers the most variety of any show all around YES not the most games but has much more to offer.. many other show do have more games THats not all that makes a good show I dont believe ANY show gives ROB a seperate room to do what ever he wants 24x7 as I do?? Again I never told him he was banned and YES I cut him off as I was driving in traffic
Shows that have me in a separate room and treat me like a valued contributor to the show year after year...
Texas Pinball Festival
Pin-a-GoGo
Midwest Gaming Classic

Rob tells you he's not doing the show every year, immediately after you yell at him at the top of your lungs in front of customers, colleagues, and friends. I've told you over and over again, I'm not your three year old child, don't yell at me. Of course I tell you I'm not doing the show again, how could I do anything else? Eventually we both calm down and work things out, but it's grating, abusive, and unnecessary.
I'm at the point I don't care anymore. If you don't want me there, I don't care, I won't go. If I hear from others you don't want me there, what am I supposed to think? I called you to get it directly from you, got no answer and more screaming, and then "game playing". I waited a couple of days for a return phone call. What more should I have done? I'm not going to chase after you to get abused over and over, sorry.
