Looks like they are calling it the Twin Galaxies Entertainment Festival.
Maybe you should start a new post thread
separate from PAGG 2016 though

Only 11 months til the next PAGG show!!

my guess
Stern Hot Hand?

If my memory serves me right
the previous two VFW pinball shows ( and this years show)
have fallen on exact same weekend as PAGG.
We need to lobby Clay to move it back one week in future (i.e. 2weeks after Mother's day)

Clay's argument is that Pinfest (Allentown) is normally first weekend in May.
Also he does not want it to fall on Mother's Day weekend.
Memorial Day weekend is not good either (in his mind),
The rest of summer is either too hot or too many people have other summer vacation plans
and/or rest of pinball schedule is already too crowded with shows.
So that leaves the week after and/or 2 weeks after Mother's Day weekend,
And for what ever reason he has chosen the same Weekend as PAGG,
partly defending his choice, in that no one from the west coast is going to travel to Michigan anyway
and no one from east coast would travel to west coast to attend PAGG.

In truth he is right that there are probably only about a two dozen pinhead fanatics crazy enough
to travel cross country (>1000 miles to attend most any pinshow).
But I am one of those and hope in future i can attend both shows on consecutive weekends.

Mr. gone
get well soon
keep on flipping

Is Larry Z bringing his normal allotment of wedgeheads and woodies?

I would strap the head also, as the wind resistance at 70 mph has been known to tear the head off the bolts from the Cabinet.
