At least I have my priorities straight!
Pinball & Pussy forever!!!
Why would anyone subject their dog to that much noise and commotion? A dog's hearing is much more sensitive than ours is. I feel bad for the dogs.
As far as the service animals go, unless you are training the dog to work next to a jet airplane, what's the point?
Seems very wrong to me.

Quoted from Concretehardt:I have already reserved a booth for 2024 TPF, I will be selling Boost Oxygen cans. These are for emergencies in case somebody “drops ass” in front of you while you’re waiting in line to play a hot machine and don’t wanna lose your spot in line but also don’t want to breath ass! Make sure to come by and see me I’ll be offering a 10% discount to all Pinsiders.

From some of the descriptions in this thread this seems like an appropriate shirt to wear to a Pinball Show.

Oh and sometimes I drink too much
Quoted from romulusx:Oh and sometimes I drink too much
I drink in moderation. It’s an imaginary place I go when I drink.
I attended the San Diego Comic Con every year from 1992-2011... it used to be held at the height of Muggy Summer in August.... funk funk and more funk.
Thankfully I'm super tall and somewhat above most of it.
TPF is Daisy fresh compared to SDCC.
Quoted from transprtr4u:Respect your elders
If they've earned it.....being older doesn't automatically gain you respect from me if you're an asshole.
If you're old and mean, you can take that boomer shit back to the 1940s

The 40s? How old do you think boomers are?
Quoted from Concretehardt:Sorry long OT:
But I don’t want to be one of “those guys”
The Service dog exemption is tuff & does get abused, I know people who have them for emotional support, but do they need them in a grocery store? The other thing that is difficult about it is that the person with a legit service dog doesn’t always have an obviously disability. In my case I have severe epilepsy among other things. I rarely leave the house without my wife so there is no need for me to take my dog into stores & restaurants, but I walk my dog every day alone. I carry a pill box with emergency medication in my pocket but if I go down someone may not want to dig thru my pockets. My Dog Noah who I rescued 6 years ago from a very abusive home (see bottom pic) carry’s emergency medication and detailed instructions about what to do if someone finds me in his vest. He never leaves my side on leash or off. Sometimes people look at me and my dog and give me that look like I’m one of those guys with a fake service dog and I think man if they only knew that me and that little dog have been to hell and back over the last 4 years! He literally laid at my side for month after my brain surgery (2nd pic). When something is wrong with me he knows it instantly!

Sorry to hear about your situation, with that said-lucky dog and lucky you! When I see service dogs out in public I will occasionally inquire with their handler what exactly the dog is trained for. It's just mind blowing how intelligent and intuitive K9's are to our overall being. That's the best thing one can do for their K9 companion, is to give it a job or a purpose.

In many ways, he never left. Just like Big Boy restaurants.
Quoted from Spitfiren8:Who else is happy centerflank is back. Pinside is just more fun now
Yea it’s good to have him back for sure! The word on the street was that he was a real bastard to work for when he was running Encom for the last few years, I’m glad he retired and came back to hang out with us little people.

Don’t think chili was the issue. We don’t use beans here. 
Quoted from titanpenguin:Not sure you can handle all the awesome that is Texas.
I would love to visit Texas, just not trying to sniff grumpy old man ass all day at tpf.
I got plenty of military buddies who would love to see me.

I was an odiforous show, but TPF is still #1.
And pinball shows will never be as bad as arcade shows or comic cons.
Quoted from titanpenguin:Don’t think chili was the issue. We don’t use beans here.
I don’t think chili was the issue either. I think it was the eggs on the food truck burgers.
From what... Cary...? Said, only one food truck showed up on Saturday..
Anyone know what went wrong?
Was it just Flakey Hipster food truck people not showing?
Quoted from dothedoo:I don’t think chili was the issue either. I think it was the eggs on the food truck burgers.
But those burgers were good.

I'd rather go to TPF and smell farts all day than not go to TPF. I did not go to TPF and still managed to smell farts all day. I blame the Olive Garden Croutons...
