Has anyone used Uber in Sturbridge? I was thinking about hitting a local bar Thursday or Friday. I'd hate to find out at 1AM that Uber is non-existent in the area.

Quoted from chas10e:I'll be seeing him on Wednesday ( I hope) I guess if I just knew the vendor hall hours that would be helpful
Vendor hall is open Friday 11-9, Saturday 10-9 is you buy a one general admission pass.
If you buy a multi day pass (pro, prem or LE) you have 1 hour early access to the vendor hall on Friday and Saturday.
Please join Dave and George for a review of the Pintastic shows of the past and what to expect at this years show.

Vendor hall open until 9pm Sat, closed Sunday. I can bring a Halloween CE or Godzilla Pro if pre-sold. I personally don't plan on having my booth open until close time, it's a long 3 days (with setup) and I have a 4 hr drive home, if it gets slow late Sat, I'm out.
Quoted from arcyallen:a horrible rumor designed to sadden those that had planned to make it in June but can't?
I think that.
Quoted from docquest:Vendor hall is open Friday 11-9, Saturday 10-9 is you buy a one general admission pass.
If you buy a multi day pass (pro, prem or LE) you have 1 hour early access to the vendor hall on Friday and Saturday.
Also forgot that game bringers also get the earlier 1 hour acess to vendor hall.
I'm upset that I'll be missing Pintastic for the first time this year. It's one of my favorite shows, and Gabe and Company do an amazing job every year. I'm jealous of everyone that will be attending this year; please have a great time on my behalf and post lots of pictures so I can see what I'm missing...and I'll see you all next year!

For those who ask, no I never get to leave my game registration table EVER. But that means I’m your spy on the inside, here to show you some of the early work going on to get ready for this weekend!

Have you looked at the posted games list lately? Lots of games are being registered at the last minute, including more Jim Patla designs!

My cohost will be interviewing Eric Stone for an upcoming podcast while at the show. If you have a question you would like asked please submit here or you can contact me privately. I will try and use as many as possible. Thanks.
Is there any way to change the registration for the game you've brought? I have to make a last minute change on mine.
EDIT! Nevermind. Figured it out.
Hey guys. Was wondering if that wine/beer/soda/snack bar in the hallway across from the free play room was going to be open this year like in 2019.
Quoted from Grandnational007:It was at the November show…
Huh. I just watched two youtube tours of the 2021 show (which I unfortunately missed) and it was shuttered in both. Both videos seemed to be afternoon though, so I suppose it opened later in the day.
Quoted from VALIS666:Huh. I just watched two youtube tours of the 2021 show (which I unfortunately missed) and it was shuttered in both. Both videos seemed to be afternoon though, so I suppose it opened later in the day.
I believe they were short staffed? Staff had to close to assist in another area, then it reopened.
Quoted from VALIS666:Was wondering if that wine/beer/soda/snack bar in the hallway across from the free play room was going to be open this year
It will be, for limited hours on Friday and Saturday. I think anothrer event has arranged for it to be open Sunday. The hotel is still short staffed. I've been told that the Friday and Saturday hours are 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

dmarstonQuoted from Galooch:Are there plans to post videos of the Saturday seminars online sometime after the show like in years past?
That's the plan. It may take some time to get them all up, and we will try to post the most timely ones first.

Update on the Project Pinball No Fear raffle from their Facebook page: "we did change the raffle details 2 weeks ago to be that shipping is now included by Project Pinball and we know many wanted to enter this great raffle who cannot be present at Pintastic!"
So if you're still waiting on that NIB pin you ordered in 2020, here's a chance to get a real pin you can touch for real!

Heads up...traffic on i90 south is stopped 60 miles before exit 78 at mile marker 17. A big truck is engulfed in flames.
A fire truck and ambulance just arrived on-scene.
If you can avoid this section of i90, I would highly recommend bypassing it. I'm guessing traffic may be stopped for a good while while the fire truck works on putting out the huge fire.
It looks like if you get off i90 before Lee, you can bypass the accident.
Looks like the fire trucks have the fire pretty much under control now. The 25ft flames are gone and the billowing black smoke cloud has petered out to small wisps of campfire smoke.
Nice post FF. Drive safely everyone. I know it's the greatest weekend in pinball history ( 
), but get there safely everyone.
Quoted from ForceFlow:Heads up...traffic on i90 south is stopped 60 miles before exit 78 at mile marker 17. A big truck is engulfed in flames.
I-90 runs east and west. Odd number interstates run North & South
Quoted from 1974DeltaQueen:I-90 runs east and west. Odd number interstates run North & South
Southeast then 
Laser Los is streaming from Pintastic. Network connection is pretty iffy, too, but you can catch a little of what's there.
Quoted from dmacy:Hotel Room restoration.

Hahaha that's awesome. Scouting tip for all you extra ball lounge members- the most tricked out Godzilla pro I've ever seen is in there. It's incredible...simply incredible.
I registered a game online yesterday and it's pending approval (I know the show started already). I'll be there with it tomorrow morning. Just wondering if it's likely to get approved for Free Play section? Looks like there is still room for more games.

Bring it! We’ll take in games at any point until we get kicked out! 
Thursday night Freeplay!
I really enjoyed the bally cross country...I've never seen that one before. Really interesting concept.

Thanks to everyone who brought games!
There's a lot of good titles and a few unsual ones to play this year 
Quoted from Pinwizkid:I registered a game online yesterday and it's pending approval (I know the show started already). I'll be there with it tomorrow morning. Just wondering if it's likely to get approved for Free Play section? Looks like there is still room for more games.
I will check but yes we can take more games in
Quoted from dmacy:Hotel Room restoration.

Ghettowind will be on the free play floor tomorrow. We have the spinner lubed up with hotel room hand lotion conditioner for maximum ripping of the spinner.

Quoted from Pinwizkid:I registered a game online yesterday and it's pending approval (I know the show started already).
I have been approving pre-registered games when I have a chance to get on the Internet, but at this point, a walk-in is fine. We are equipped to handle walk-ins. If you want to post that your game is for sale, pre-registration will help you build interest, but even a walk-in can be marked as For Sale.
