Hey guys, I was wondering who is planning on going to PAPA this year and how you were getting there. Honestly, I would love to go, but am not sure if I will have the funds for it. I know a plane is pretty much off the table as the ticket would be too expensive. I'm looking into taking a bus, which would be last resort due to how long the travel would take.

I know this is a complete long shot, but I was curious if there is anyone roadtripping to PAPA this year and may be willing to take someone with them. Of course I would be willing to help out with the gas and all that. I just don't have a car that would make the trip.

I understand if no one is actually doing this, but I thought I would at least see if anyone is. If not, I may still consider the bus ride, and would like to see if anyone would like to share a room up in Pittsburgh. I had to cancel my trip to the Texas Pinball Festival, which was a heart breaker. Watching the videos for PAPA 14 really makes me want to go and compete.

Thanks to anyone who reads this and anyone who provides any kind of help.

I like the idea of PAPA just because it is free to get in, and it seems most of the machines are set to 50 cents which means I can play quite a bit for a while, if I chose not to compete. I was really bummed to miss the TPF just because all the machines were set on free play. I just couldn't find someone to go with me to that and I couldn't afford the hotel.

That's pretty convenient. Would be a 2000 mile drive back and forth. 16 hours one way. A bus would take about 25 hours, it seems.

Yeah, a plane ticket from my area is about $400, which is pretty much out of my price range. That's why I looked into buses, which would be about $200. If I had to pick a hotel, I would try to get one with a PAPA shuttle, that way I don't have to worry about travel to and from the event. That's why I'm hoping to maybe at least find someone willing to share a room. Right now I'm really not sure if I can attend. Depends on how many hours I get at work the next two months.
