Looking good, already see one of my machines set up and I'm not there yet! Gonna be great. Need to bring my elbow brace, I can feel pinball elbow coming on.
Show has been fantastic so far, Sunday left, come out folks and play some games. So busy I didn't make any panels yet so hoping to make one today. Didn't see any films, just too much to do!
Count for pins and arcades at 175. I'd say 2 to 1 pins. Mad planets was fun to play, never played one before.
We had a friend come Saturday evening and she loved Big Buck Hunter Pro so we all went back to play. When we got there a very nice woman had just put her initials on the game for High Score #4 and was elated. The three of us played next. Hadn't ever played the game, put up a HS#2 score. Glad the woman didn't come by while we were playing. My only HS. Did have another cool moment, one decent tourney moment when I flipped AbraCaDabra. After that, it is indeed a great game.
I literally lost a ball in Diner. Matt Kiser and compy both helped look for it but it was never found. Seriously. I think it got hungry. Thanks to Matt for making fun of me Friday and Saturday, a free ball and rubbers, t-shirt, and good memories.
My wife took pics of every game she played at SFGE. While it isn't every single game there (meaning not every pin, she only played a couple vids) it's many of them:

Wife's favorites were (some to my surprise) at the top: LOTR and IM (close but I think she liked LOTR just a bit more - need to get one of those now!). Others included Metallica, AC/DC, Funhouse (also on my hunting for list). Two that she was really surprised by: NASCAR and Big Buck Hunter Pro.
I was also surprised by how much I liked LOTR. Played BBB, kind of liked it, seems like there could be lots to do. She liked the PF art but not the dancer in the tube.
It was burning rubber before even seeing a player, the Expo was just too much. Never fear, we'll have it back revving in no time.
That Genesis would've been my pick for Best in SHow if not for the rarity, how nice it looked, and played! Didn't play nearly as much on the floor as I should've (meant to get to Rescue 911) but really enjoyed playing a couple things I hadn't before. City Slickers is pretty interesting and got the GC on Alvin G's World Tour. Actually really enjoyed that game and the music really got it rocking.
Quoted from The_Director:Speaking of Dr. Who -- I would love to buy Al's. I should have pulled the trigger when he briefly had it for sale. Mine is really nice, but his is about the best looking one I've ever seen.
If he had one for sale there, it was a friends for whom he's selling a bunch of machines. I bought an Amazing Spider Man and a Paragon, both needing some electronics work but looking fantastic. The PF on my Paragon is as nice as I've ever seen one. Too bad the AMS has a weird switch issue I just plain can't figure out!
Bryan runs a great tournament. The amount of time and effort it takes to run one of these is huge. Thanks for making Atlanta and the area a place for competitive pinball. The number of events we've had this year is crazy, largely in thanks to Bryan really getting things going around here.
We were tired sfter loading pins, I don't want to think about how exhausted some of the guys and gals that brought vids felt like! Some of those things are fracking humongous.
