    Quoted from dmarston:

    As of the beginning of March 2021, we know that the 2021 show will NOT be in June. We are looking at options for later in the year. As you all know, we will be subject to whatever pandemic-related rules there are in place as of the show dates. Watch our website for the latest news.
    .................David Marston

    Ah, good idea. With how bad the vaccine rollout has been in MA, June was looking tricky. A date later in the year should hopefully make the show happen with little concerns. Good luck.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Unfortunately sounds like the Oxhead tavern (which was a good spot to grab lunch / chowder) on site is closed, as is the restaurant inside the hotel. Let's just say the recent reviews for the Host hotel haven't exactly been kind...but hey it's Pintastic! Let's party!

    Aw man. It's nice to hit the bar in there to get out of the noise for a while over a martini or two.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Fortunately the giant liquor store is still open.
    Bring a cooler !

    From martini at the bar to flask on the toilet!

    But seriously, still looking forward to it.

    Quoted from Arcadedl:

    Called the SHH trying to get a room for Friday night...sounds like they have been sold out for a while. Does anyone have a reservation they can't use?

    After looking into hotel rooms I decided to Uber back and forth. Costs a little less than a room at the Super 8 (Uber app says $50-60 for me) and you get to sleep in your own bed. Presumably there will be an Uber driver at 2am to drive me home, but if not I'll just play more pins until one shows up, no big deal.

    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.

    The Super 8 on the other side of the parking lot was actually pretty decent; clean, big fridge, good A/C. If anyone needs a room tonight check with them as I had to leave a day early.

    Also I thought I saw every pin but there has to be a dozen in ForceFlow's photos I never saw like Multimorphic, Elvis, Coney Island, SharpShooter II, Pool Sharks -- that whole row I seemed to miss.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    There's a club room across from the seminar room.
    There's also the extra ball room at the back of the hotel lobby.

    I was in those including the EB lounge until like 3am last night, but I never got to check out the club room for long. I thought they'd still be open after the midnight knockout tournament ended but they weren't. I guess that Elvis/Sharpshooter II etc. row was in there.

    Quoted from dannunz:

    Pintastic needs to be in a hotel or the 24hr aspect of the show goes away. But don’t worry the show must go on!

    Selfishly, I hope Boxborough is in the running again! Seems like they recently had a comicon and have another coming up: https://collectiblesextravaganza.com/collectibles-extravaganza-july-2022/boxboro-regency-hotel-boxborough-ma-this-show-will-have-you-seeing-stars/

    Not sure what their 24 hour or BYOB policy is, though.
