I will be selling pinball posters again at the swap meet Saturday morning (or if you come find me at the show Friday or Saturday)

Blow out prices- $5 each, or all four for $12 (while supplies last, Spirit posters are low in quantity)

Also would be interested in trades for interesting loot.

PIN-a-GO-GO ViLLAGE A couple questions for those that have been there in the past. This would be my first time attending (actually first time attending a pinball show).
It is my understanding that spots are a first come basis. If I show up very late Thursday or early Friday will there still be a space available (based on past experience)?
Are the spots large enough for a pickup camper and trailer for hauling pins?
If spots are full can you double up in one and would anyone be willing to do that?

I have a 10 hour drive and don't want to get there and not have a place to stay.
the more info provided the better as I was not able to find much on camping at PAGG.

Thanks

Yes spots should be available, I have been the last five years and there has always been spots available throughout the weekend.

Yes, plenty of room...I have a 35' toy hauler and I can park toy hauler and truck with plenty of room.

Don't think you would need to double up.

keep in mind that for people bringing games you can park your trailer in the lot there and don't need it in your camping spot.

My apolgies that it has taken me a while to get back to our contest, having a newborn sure seems to take a lot of time!

I think we have a clear winner! Congratulations to JSA for designing the best pinball hog card! I would like to make one edit, where it says press start only once for one player, maybe add "If you are playing alone" I wouldn't want people to think they are not allowed to play with others.

Please contact me via PM so I can get your art file for printing. Also let me know your shirt size for the Spirit shirt.

Good to know!

Thanks so much! Thanks everyone for the votes and support. I'll PM you directly.

See you all at the show! Getting super excited.

Anyone from the Boise area going? I'm seriously looking at going and might have room for a couple pins.

So excited! Anyone posting games they are bringing in this thread or is that somewhere else

Hey! Have you signed up to help at Pin a Go Go yet? Our sign up page is ready for you.

We can't have a great show without our great volunteers.

PM me for info

Thanks!

The pinagogo.org website has the latest list of games that are signed up. And there is a Call for Games thread on pinside for us to discuss what to bring: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pin-a-go-go-2016-call-for-games

Cheers!

Just throwing this out to fellow pinsiders. I live in Dixon and will have a place for you guys to crash if you can't find anywhere to stay.. Send me a PM...

We have a 130 machines signed up so far! Keep them coming!

Is there a "bad" time to load games in, like a major rush hour kind of thing at a typical time?

Thursday afternoon is wide open, Friday morning can get pretty busy. The worst time is when the show is open although we understand that people have jobs and long drives. We have plenty of carts and people willing to help load and setup. If you wanted to come on thursday you could help too!

Thursday night is going to be my loading time, unfortunately. I will try to leave as early as possible Friday morning, though. It's only about a three hour drive.

Miguel351,are you bringing both of your pins?? Try to get there Fri.as soon as you can,it gets crazy!! C U there!!!

Hay,why is PAGG listed twice on the Events calendar??

because its twice as nice.

thought you were the guilty party!

I brought 6 pins last year and loaded them in Friday Morning. It didn't seem to chaotic to me. You should be fine.

Cool. I'm hoping to be there around 10am, traffic permitting. Between that and what sounds like a small army of volunteers helping load games in, everything should be fine.

That's the plan!! The only potential speed bump in loading them is the fact that TZ is upstairs right now. NOT looking forward to that! Thankfully, when I bring them back home, they both have a spot downstairs.

Yeah,i remember Fri.mornings!!! By the time the paying public was let in,practically every pin was 3 deep in kids,and everybody else! I asked where all these people came from so early? I found out!! C U all there!!!

ABSOLUTLY!!!! 23 DAYS and a wake up woooooohoooo!!

It kinda is for my office. They get a holiday away from me for the Thursday through Monday after Mother's Day.

WOW,Cary,you hafta be the boss of the "month" at least!

Is there a formal process for expressing interest and buying pins at the show?

Because I added it without seeing yours, LOL. If you want to update your Event name to the correct name (missing dashes) and move over the text, image, correct dates (think you are missing the end date) and times, I will kill my event.

Cheers,
Seth

NO Pinballholder!! And yes,jsa,you run up to your pin of choice .yell dibs wave money!! Absolutly!

Are you trying to tell me that. hawk moon didn't use correct!!punctuation I find that very hard to believe !?!?and I just refuse to believe that

Would it help if I waved a bottle of whiskey?

Ok baby, I think I'm ready for my first PAGG. I want to bring a couple games too. But...
I plan on unloading my two games (tentatively Speakeasy and EM Night Rider, mebbe a Buccaneer for tradebait) and then camping in my empty van with the fold out bed and such. But since you can't make reservations for the camping, I am a bit worried that I might get there Friday morning and not find any spots available. I saw someone above say that the camping usually doesn't sell out. With a 4 -5 hour drive, I wouldn't want to be juked.

Also, I would hafta load up the games by about 3:30 latest, to get home in time for other commitments. Would that be ok?
