    Quoted from MrArt2u:

    Steve's Spirit was sold at the PAGG auction to an old friend of Steve's who will hold on to it and bring it out to make show appearances, as gunstarhero said.

    Okay, well I was partly right!

    You guys almost made the 5 o'clock news.
    Just saw a short segment about the Sac Comic Con on the Fox40 news , I could see the GSPF banners in the background .

    Love the bear flyer and couldn't help but notice the "7th annual" text with it.
    Wonder if the guys resuming control of PAGG will go back in time...

    Doesn't matter, It's all mo pinball in NorCal for the cause, so it's all good.

    Anyone know if there will be Wifi available? My friend and i do a weekly live pinball stream. Would love to bring a lightweight single stand rig along and stream some of the festival if wifi is going to be available.

    No site WiFi is available. We have excellent cell signal if you want to bring a portable hot spot. That's what we do with the registers and the game check in system

    #272 6 years ago

    Awesome thanks for the info! I’ll have to look more into a hotspot. Anyone have any feed back on using your phone as a hotspot? Iv been curious about it for a long time.

    #273 6 years ago

    I use my iPhone to "Hotspot" all the time. Both via wifi, as well as via USB (when there is a lot of radio noise nearby, or too many competing wifi signals).

    If you're serious about the stream, you might want to take a road trip and test a few mobile carriers ahead of the event; see which carriers can give you the capacity you're looking for at that site.

    And if you do hit me up and we'll have lunch. If there's nothing at the location I'll give you a tour of the facility

    #275 6 years ago

    Thank you both! I will have to talk to my friend that i stream with and figure something out!

    Hey Cheddar and the GSPF team! I’ll be launching a new venture after TPF but would love to come out for the festival next May. Might be a squeeze, time-wise, but will attend if at all possible. Enjoyed touring the grounds earlier this year... Lodi looks like a winner.

    BTW, plan to bring earplugs, folks! Lots of games and lots of hard surfaces = instant pinball rock concert!

    #277 6 years ago

    Hello every one,Merry Christmas all,happy new year!! Hope to see you there,a good time guaranteed for all!! Drive safe.Peace!!!

    #278 6 years ago

    Yes they will, we usually have a desk by the door that sells weekend passes before you even come in.

    Trying to get my alcoholic friends to commit to coming to the festival. The typical response is “Sounds cool... will there be beer?” Hoping to get this clarified soon

    Even when there wasn't beer, there was beer aplenty. I think PAGG is the drunkest I have ever been in public.

    as for the beer, just look for the guy in the pink bunny suit.

    The Northern California Pinball Association (NCPA) is very pleased to present the Golden State Pinball Festival in Lodi, California on May 18 – 20, 2018.

    The NCPA is a 100% volunteer driven organization, and a California and Federally registered 501(c)(3) Non-Profit, with 100% of our show proceeds benefiting local youth charities. The donated proceeds from our previous shows totals over $100,000, and benefited the Dixon Teen Center and the Boys and Girls Club.

    For 2018, we have partnered with the World of Wonders Science Museum in Lodi, a hands-on Science Museum that teaches real-world application of the Sciences, and promotes learning for both youths and adults in STEM related fields.

    One of our best ways of generating show revenue is through a huge Raffle and Silent Auction. We rely on generous donations from Pinball related companies, as well as local area businesses that would like to do something good for their community. We respectfully ask for a donation of an item (or two) to this years show - it need not be pinball related – Gift Cards, Gift Baskets, Tickets to local shows, Books, Toys, Art, etc. have all been donated in previous years. All donated items will be displayed with a placard acknowledging the generosity of the donor.

    Building upon six years of producing the Pin-a-Go-Go Pinball Show in Dixon, the Golden State Pinball Festival promises to be great fun for all.

    Please feel free to contact us with any questions, or to arrange a donation. Show information can be found at www.goldenstatepinball.org, by email at [email protected], or by phone at (209) 339-1962. Ready to donate an item? Please ship to the address below – but be sure to drop us a line so we know to whom the credit goes.

    Attn: NCPA
    2370 Maggio Circle, Ste. 7
    Lodi, CA 95240

    Thank you for your consideration,

    Chris Bannister, NCPA Raffle/Auction Coordinator
