I've parked on the back side of the building and slept in my van.

Steve

You will be fine bro man.

Thanks hawkmoon! Appreciate you adding our event to the calendar.

You'll be all good, bring that night rider EM so I can drool over it. We hung out at the banning pinball show right?

I will be at the Best Western Thurs.nite,if anybody wants to hang out,shower,watch tv,hot tub,or,byob,so nobody will be alone !

Awesome!! Can't wait to hang out and play pinball with you, Mark! You're gonna love it...so much more chill than CAX.

We all hung out for a bit at the last couple of CAX's.

Hay,PismoArcade.when are they gonna deliver that BL???Looks like a fun pin!!Did you preorder??

Thats right! Believe it or not, down in Banning when I went to that expo I met another guy from your area with a Night Rider, I remember Mark now, looking forward to seeing you.

Wha? Tony? Is there something you ain't told me yet daddio?

I wish!!!..... News to me!

I think you've got me mixed up with another Tony..... Not that I wouldn't love one.

With all the talk of Hobbit, AMH & perhaps Ghostbusters coming to PAGG this year, is there any chance someone from Cali is bringing a Full Throttle? I'm not even sure how many have been shipped to Cali, but damn, that would be incredible if we could all get to play one

Just curious if anyone heard anything. I'm sure I speak for many that would be forever grateful.

From what we have been told, a Full Throttle is expected, thanks to Video Amusements!

OH,sorry,Pismo<i thought cause it's on your wish list,you were dialed in,sorry

No worries... It is on my wish list....If I only had the space & $.

Pinball hog cards printed and looking good!

So I have kept quiet about this because i was unsure if i would have time to make them this year, but I managed to get the hard part out of the way. I am happy to say I am once again providing name badges for free to any Pinside user. See pic below, but note that these are not complete, they will be hole drilled and lanyards will be provided. Also note that the photo shows the front and back, there is only one style of card.

I want to do it like I did last year, if you know you are coming and do not have an id badge (and want one) PM me with your username and real name and I will fill it out for you ahead of time, this in a way reserves it for you. One year I left them all blank and people took them all within a half hour and I think many of them were not even Pinside members.

I will be providing some blanks for people that come last minute, are undecided, etc.

If you already have one, please use it again. If you lost it, shame on you, but I will make you a new one.

Make it a point to introduce yourself to others, the friends I have made through this hobby are far and away the best part of it. The first year I went to PAGG I knew no one and had a good time, the next year I knew some people and had way more fun, last year I knew a ton of people and it was a complete blast!

Location for picking them up is as of yet undetermined, will most likely be at a vendors table as they have in previous years.

These are laminated, will be hole drilled and lanyard added

I'd send you a request but seems like someone thinks its funny to take a Dude's badge before I get a chance to pick it up. Guess some of us aren't meant to have badges.

Man! I think you have been stiffed a couple years in a row now!!

Cant say enough how nice these badges are. Also Steve does our whole community a solid by doing this for everyone if you see him let him know! Buy him a beer or beverage of his choice.

The past two years, PaGG has charged the fun factor in my life. At my first one, I met a retired doctor in Sunday morning pinball school who urged me to get my own machine. I got one about six months later, officially and totally infecting myself with the happy, contagious disease known as pinball ownership. Now I have two. This year I signed up to volunteer with setup Thursday and Friday mornings. If I can get my machines across my construction zone of a backyard, I will bring them. But what I really want from PaGG this year are pinball friends. I don't chime in much here because well.....I guess that's my nature when I don't really know folks. I look forward to connecting real people to these avatars and posts this year!

Too kind sir, too kind. We will be sharing a brew or two for sure.

Do it! I cant stress enough how much the friends I have made in the hobby have become important in my life.

Let me tell you a little secret too, you get the best deals from your buddies you meet at shows and on pinside. I don't buy games off craigslist anymore, I buy them from friends. These are games that never "go on the market" they get shuttled back and forth between buddies houses. You would die if you knew how much I paid for my clear coated immaculately restored WCS94 I bought off my good friend Pinwillie, I'm talking ten times better and a thousand bucks LESS than anything on craigslist the last two years. And guess what, I have hooked him up in return in any way I can. I love pinball but I wouldn't be involved to the degree I am if it wasn't for the people I meet.

I'll be there loading in Thursday and Friday with ya, so I'll look for you. I plan to maintain a cooler of ice cold beers, so I hope to share a beer with each new Pinsider I meet, not to mention those I've already met (which hopefully will add up to be a lot of beers drank!). See you guys soon.

Todd

Dont forget that if you bring games, You'll get this AWESOME PAGG 2016 Lanyard!

This aggression will not stand, man!

In case you didn't already realize it, you're a good egg, Steve!.... Searching for my badge as we speak.

Ghostbusters???!!!! AMH???!!!! Full Throttle???!!

Thanks for making my night, Spencer!

"Hey, there's a beverage here man."

For those who have yet to play GOT, I predict you're gonna love it. I logged 20+ games in Vegas recently and I found it to be a whole bunch o' fun.

That is awesome news!! Really looking forward to the show!!

It's totally fun. Though I have to admit I prefer pro over LE, but that's just me.

Is there any word if Kingpin will be back again?

Our little show is growing up! *sniff* So proud!

How do you guys typically manage power distribution?

you guys almost made me spit out my coffee! I know man that badge would of really tied the event together

We have a great team that manages our power. We limit the number of machines per circuit and all is good.

OH,Eric,your funny

Pretty sure it'll be there as it seems like it is every year. I love that game!

OK. I am all in. All. In. Bringing my newly acquired Police Force (go system 11) and my Speakeasy because they are downstairs and the rest are upstairs and Night Rider is freakin heavy. Camping in the Village and bringing my bike for easy cruising to various locations my cooler fulla beer and snax and my tools. Should I bring my dali llama or will there be some to borrow to move games?
