    Any chance on a different name? Just doesn't have the same ring to it.

    Quoted from JerryB:

    Greetings all,
    I'm really looking forward to the new venue.
    I grew up around Lodi and think the Grape Festival Grounds are a good choice for growing the show.
    Those of you who have visited Timathie's garage/man cave have probably met me.

    Tell us more about Timathie's!

    Thanks to Rob Anthony, Jurassic Park The Lost World is 100% Healthy now and will make an appearance in Lodi in 343 days!

    So is there going to be both shows? I am confused, I thought PAGG was changing to the Golden State Pinball Festival but when I went to the PAGG website I see 2018 dates....Did I miss something?

    I will add that two PAGGS is better then one!

    Quoted from pinheadpierre:

    I don't feel like this question actually got answered. What's the story?

    Yeah there isn't much information in post 8

    #238 6 years ago
    Quoted from Cheddar:

    The show is moving to Lodi. The Northern California Pinball Association took over PaGG 6 shows ago and we're moving that show and experience to Lodi under the new name.
    The guys who ran it before the NCPA wanted PaGG to be in Dixon so they moved the show to October.
    So the NCPA changed the name of the show in Lodi to the Golden State Pinball Festival.

    That clears it up....thanks Cheddar.

    Does anyone know if a TnA will be making an appearance? I will assume JJP will have a POTC there.

    #297 6 years ago
    Quoted from Borygard:

    I can officially confirm that TNA will be present at the Golden State Pinball Festival.

    Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

    I like where you guys are going with this, but tiki mugs come in many shapes and sizes. Not sure what would be nearest to Universal Fit. And being wide open at the top (unlike beer bottles) they may be prone to splills from nudging. Just my initial thoughts.
    Speaking of drinks, are we allowed to drink wherever we want at this new venue? I'm tempted to make some flaming Volcano Bowls on Sat night. Would anyone be interested in that?

    Quoted from TG:

    That's rad Mark!
    Thinking I'll bring just a couple this year in a small Uhaul trailer. Thinking SoF, RADICAL and AMH.
    It was easier to bring the whole collection to CAX since it's in my backyard and I had a free truck.
    Getting excited!

    Man moving that many games couldn’t have been easy, but thanks again for doing it. It really made Ca X. Fun last year! See you at Golden State.

    Quoted from MrArt2u:

    Games. In the interest of not bringing a duplicate title, we want to wait until the list fills in a bit more before we finalize what two games to bring.
    We're currently thinking WWFRR to highlight the spankin' new colorDMD Randy and his Crayola Crew just released. And for our beloved EM room possibly GTB Surfer or Kingpin?? I just shopped out our Jumping Jack hoping to bring it but I see someone beat me to the clown punch.
    Paragon or Playboy have also been mentioned instead of the EM contribution (though I really love sharing EMs with everyone)
    Open to requests (sorry, we don't like to repeat so Punk and HGOT are staying home this year )

    Punk was great last year. Maybe it could return next year. I’m thinking I can’t make it this year due to an Injury. Still trying to make it for a day with my walker and all!

    Quoted from starbase:

    I don't think I have been more excited to meet a bunch of strangers or go to a event in years. Now to remember to pack that deodorant so i don't make a bad impression.
    So dedicated to going I am closing one of my stores on Friday because I could not find coverage. Some people said don't worry you can go next year, to which I say F that noise life is short. Thanks to everyone involved with this or bringing games.

    Deodorant? Heck I stopped showering two months ago in preparation!

    Quoted from PismoArcade:

    I'll do better than last year. Like a dope, I brought a bunch of cupcakes, totally forgetting about the amazing cake that comes out during the BBQ. Yeah, I was one of those guys.
    This year, I'm bringing chips!

    You bring the chips and I will bring Potato and Macaroni Salad...never too much of those

    Anyways I am very excited to report that I have secured a ride to this Epic Show for myself and my walker! I will see you all Saturday! I can’t wait so if you see some goofy tall guy with a walker and wrist brace, say hello!

    Actually, this one is more like this:

    Man that van is so cool!

    #1165 5 years ago

    Had a great time yesterday, what a fantastic new venue. Thanks to all the organizers and everyone that brought games!

    The tradition of the BBQ was on point...Sparky your the man! Thanks to everyone that contributed! Suzy, the trifecta of desserts you made (cupcakes, cookies and lemon bars) were fantastic! Thanks JJ for supporting this tradition renting a trailer!

    To everyone that said hello it was awesome to meet and reconnect with so many people, way too many to list individually! Pinball people are the absolute best and this was cemented by everyone yesterday and all the unsolicited help from everyone. Thanks to the famous Mr. Hotdog man fireball2 (who was featured in the Lodi paper no less) for everything. Unlike Lou, if you would like my autograph or a picture with me...no charge! A special thank you to TimO for picking my walker and I up yesterday and driving up to the show and back. I am so fortunate to have been able to attend Saturday!

    I just want to say that anyone that has never attended this show needs to seriously consider it in the future. It is absolutely fantastic and every year gets exponentially better.

    Once again a testimony to the organizers and their love not only for pinball but obviously their concern that everyone has the time of their lives at this event!
