To be completely honest. This is the show and venue I miss the most.

Just to clarify. What are the dates of each show?

But as we know. complex problems do not have simple solutions. aka lets pay a Starbucks employee 20 bucks an hour. Another simple solution "Monte" would be for Bob to step down as well. Bob is also the reason the current situation is falling apart.

So many people that have never gone to Pinball Expo running their mouth! C'mon Levi!

Seriously folks (Joe Walsh no pun intended) What IF Mike is locked into the Expo dates like Goatdan mentions? That would suck if Rob is leaving him to dry. Maybe it doesn't matter to you. It should. That is some serious cash. Mike (whether you like him or hate him) had to do a lot of the grunt and bad work of the show while Rob was the front man and good guy. The fire chief and electrical dealings for the Expo are a function Mike handled that were a pain in the ass. So if it comes to a choice. I choose the Expo version and not the Palooza version.

"Your" post made me laugh. It reminded me of this troll from circa 2007 on this obscure pinball newsgroup on google groups. It was called RGP and this guy went by Ldnayman and was a keyboard commando in an Aunts basement. Him and his friend Cubeta would troll all day. And they both struggled with the usage of "Your" and "You're".

Remember when they had the google stars on rgp? People would go nuts if they got a 1 star. Which of course just stirred the pot even more
