Quoted from fireball2:

WTF People? 166 games pledged? That's it???
We oughta be double that with less than two weeks to go.
C'mon, let's see some contribution!
In '19 we had over 300, I think...
Stoked that Larry Z is bringing that beauty Reserve again this year.
Just a little cheerleading...

Quoted from practicalsteve:

As someone who has donated hundreds and hundreds of hours of my free time to the show this post can’t help but feel like sour grapes. I’m not even on the high end as I know people that have put in THOUSANDS of hours of their time into the show over the years. People that take an entire week off from work to set up and break down the show. It’s not something that just gets worked on a few weeks before the show but practically year round. Every single person that works on this show is a volunteer. We all have jobs. Families. At times it can be enormously stressful, you wouldn’t believe the amount of emails I had to go back and forth with a company just to order lanyards to give to people for bringing their games. I wanted to tear my hair out.
Why do I do it? For the love of the game, wanting others to have the best time possible. For the friendship and camaraderie I have found with others. I have made some of the best friends of my life volunteering for this show and that to me is more valuable than any wristband. We literally cannot make the show happen without our volunteers and I am beyond grateful for every last one of them, wether it be someone that shows up a couple hours early to wipe down glass, or be it someone that builds and maintains our website out of the goodness of their heart, I value every last one of them.
Volunteering should never be about a reward other than the reward of new skills learned and the self satisfaction of a job well done.

Quoted from wcbrandes:

So for someone traveling 15 hours by car to get there it would be nice to know if this is a bust for the companies attending that are showing the machines most want to get some time on to consider buying? Its getting close and if machines are half of what normally is here and very few companies attending it certainly would be nice to know now

Quoted from jbovenzi:

The games list is not showing for me. Windows 10 with Chrome browser.
Similar error as before?

Quoted from fireball2:

Just looked, and the MFP peeps are representing big time!
Up to 176!

Quoted from jbovenzi:

...and speaking of expensive games, I saw that there is a Godzilla LE added to the show games.
If that isn't the hottest game at the moment and someone is taking the time to bring it to the show, then I really do not know what to say.
Except: Thank you!

Quoted from GoldenStatePin:

Looks like we just squeaked past 200 games being signed up! Not included is our first of two raffle machines, Space Shuttle! For just $5 you could win this game and make this years show out of this world! If you think we’re done though you’d be wrong, the other raffle game will have you rushing to buy a ticket once the show starts.

Quoted from 72Devilz:

Ha! That’s the 10th machine I might bring (not to raffle of course!). Great game and a wonderful raffle prize!

Quoted from GoldenStatePin:

Ten games! Can’t thank you enough! You rule!!

Quoted from Miguel351:

Oh man, a Space Shuttle for the raffle? I'll definitely be buying lots of raffle tickets for that one! Well done!

Looking forward to seeing some of yall I haven't seen in a few years!

Quoted from PPS_Parts:

Here is the official Pinball Glass Preorder instructions. Since we sold glass last fall at PAGG there have been two price increases from our glass suppliers. I cannot stress this enough the price on glass is going up. Add on the cost of shipping and the risk of breakage, buying glass at Golden State is a real deal.
The preorder price is $45 for regular playfield glass, $50 for widebody glass, and we are keeping the price the same at $240 for HD glass.
The show price will be $50 for regular glass, $55 for widebody and $250 for HD glass.
For small orders no deposit is required. Glass is heavy so please order what you intend to pickup. For large orders we may require a small deposit just to confirm the order. We did sell out of several glass sizes at PAGG so preordering is a good idea. We do not have any more of the old stock IPB glass.
Please send your preorder requests and questions to [email protected]. Renosales is our reseller that will be handling the glass sales at Golden State.

Quoted from AD72:

Here is my Alvin G Soccer that will be at the show.

Here is my Alvin G Soccer that will be at the show. It would be cool to have a head to head tournament on it. I have adjusted it to get both sides equal in performance. [quoted image]

Quoted from EEE:

Bump...
Is there anyone here planning to drive down from Oregon or Washington?
I intend on bringing a system 1 machine that is currently at a friends house in NorCal, and it needs a ride north on I-5 after the show.

Quoted from 72Devilz:Can’t wait to try that one! That would pair nicely with Joust Pinball!

Quoted from fireball2:

Let's goooo! That looks killer! Where TF did you get that?

Quoted from cobra18t:

Do you want to bring AG Soccer to my house this weekend? I can bring it along with Twister to the show. Then you could bring Joust to the show.
