Maybe half to two thirds of the games come in before Friday. There are a couple of large collectors who bring in trucks and then some local groups bring in a bunch. The rest come in Friday morning. But the Friday morning games come in in smaller amounts so more people.
Quoted from mrgone:yup, brad grant brought his. great game. maybe he will bring his again this year.
going nuts would be fun. maybe if I keep pestering blown fuse he will bring it just so I will quit asking.
I must have missed it. Bummer

Quoted from izzy:Has anyone started an"unofficial what's for sale at PAGG forum" yet? If not I'll start one on Monday with my 1960 Bally Beach Queens. Need to take some photos.
That's a nice looking pin. What are you thinking of asking for it?

Quoted from Vino:Ok boys - my ignited pin obsession will finally lead me to my first PAGG and possibly CAX this year!
Give us newbies the 101 being Illl
make Saturday at least.
For example, Do I need to hit the REI and get camelpaks ready for "hydration" and snacks for stamina or what?
Do you recommend tix ahead and where should I buy?
Finally, what's the major diff between this particular event and CAX?
any input would be awesome - looking fwd to it!
You can buy tickets at the door, the lines move pretty good and most time there are no lines.
You can get snacks and drinks on site. Water fountains are available too.
PaGG is all pinball and has more of a good time with your buddies feel!
Do your wrist training, you don't want to punk out after 3 hours and have to watch everyone else play!
Quoted from mrgone:I'm going to need shoulders to lean on. I'm still weak as hell and have a long way to recover fully.
We'll carry you if we have too. You're not missing anything! Several of us will have campers there if you need to rest
Quoted from papazit1963:I'm bringing a few games. I just can't decide which ones yet! I'm thinking for sure Baywatch (for sale) and El Vira and the Party Monsters (not for sale) and maybe 1 or 2 more.
Mike
Is El Vira the spanish version?

Quoted from Miguel351: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!
Hey Pin-a-Go-Goers, we still have security and other positions open Friday and Saturday night and we need your help. If you know someone who is on the fence about going this is their chance to earn a free entry for the day.
It is shaping up to be a great show. There are some top notch and rare titles signed up at http://pinagogo.org/bring-games/ and this might be your only chance to play some of these titles.
Please help by signing up at http://vols.pt/pDN62G
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you at Pin-a-Go-Go
Quoted from Miguel351:I think it's a safe bet to say mrgone already has a browser window open, starting a new thread here on Pinside, just waiting to hit the "post" button, entitled "The Official 2017 Pin a Go Go Thread".
He'll probably hit the "post" button at 5:01pm on the 15th, too!
(and I'm ok with that)
He waited 90 minutes last year "2015-05-17 18:35 PDT". I think he needs to up his game
Quoted from hawkmoon:Cheddar,my schedule has me on door/roving sec.in the EM room,fri,12:45 to 4:45.Silent auction with Mary,Sat.2:45, 6:45. I can also be available for security later fri.nite,after i refuel
?Let me know!!
I'll hold you in reserve moon, thanks for all you've done!
Quoted from hobbypin:My Next generation machine is not going to make the trip . Corvette is still coming and I'm going to through in Big Indian. Not ever attending a pinball show before, my question is, what kind of condition do machines need to be in for the show? My Big Indian plays good, Playfield is in decent shape, back glass has some flaking and cabinet is pretty bad as far as paint. Is it acceptable to be in the show?
Good players, bad lookers, and great lookers we take them all. If it's fun to play bring it!
Quoted from uncivil_engineer:Whoop! I'm going to make it. I am still looking for a rough Williams system 3-11 for my next Proc project. I'm pretty sure I can fit one in the back of my Chevy Volt.
I've got a rough but fully working Alien Poker that fits the bill!
durango has got to be bigger than my honda pilot (2011). I take the head off of one and put it across the back of the front seats. Then I put the other machine behind it pointing towards the back with the first machines head next to it
Quoted from Pincat:Thanks for the drive advice guys! I'll look at the traffic conditions when we leave and make the final call but leaning towards the 99. I like small towns.
Also, just curious, I enjoy drinking beer and playing pinball. I mean, that's basically my favorite thing to do. Would it be unacceptable to bring a pack of beer to PAGG for personal consumption, or is that strictly a no-no?! Perhaps they have some for sale at the event instead? I'm used to playing pinball in bars, garages and basements so I usually don't think about it.
Some of us don't want to be the guy who commits to something we don't have authority to commit to. That said, it's very laid back.
Practical Steve said it best in this post 8 days ago:
Quoted from practicalsteve:Come find me in the parking lot and we can chat about it over a cold beverage.
Far from it my man, but many of the organizers are posting in this thread and like they said, it's the fairgrounds rules, not theirs. If everyone is respectful and discrete and keeps theirselves in line there should be no problem. I think it's good to know the rules going in and tell those that don't so you can prevent people from being obvious about it, or jeopardizing the show.
Quoted from Pincat:Thanks for the replies guys. It's why I asked - I didn't want to rub any feathers the wrong way at my first PAGG, and I understand there are fairgrounds rules and kids/families there. It's OK, I'll just bring a flask filled with the blood of Gorgar.
only if you share!
Quoted from Miguel351:Not having much luck securing transportation, so far. Anybody know of any good discount codes for Enterprise Truck rentals? They have one of those small Ford Transit sized vans for about $35/day, which ain't bad at all, really, but I certainly don't mind getting something similar for cheaper, considering it'll be a five day rental.
you can get an open uhaul trailer for $15 / day if you have something to pull it with. As long as it doesn't rain you'll be fine. As an added bonus you can haul them on the legs
Quoted from Vino:Thx!
Looks like a delicate plan is required being my anniv falls around it next year!
Oh well! 350 plus days to figure that one out!
My anniversary is the 15the and this is the second time in 2 years we've spent it at pagg.
Loren spent his honeymoon there.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Wait a second, 51 weeks from right now the drawing for a pinball is being held. I did not get that whirlwind. Where do I buy tickets? Chedder, Art, anybody?
Send me 100 and I will invest it carefully. If you make money you can take the proceeds-20% and buy more tickets!
