I was just talking to someone that had made plans to go down to Vancouver, only to find the event was cancelled. He was pissed. Some advance notice would have been nice. Pretty sad. You would think with all the free ads he (she) runs on Craigslist and Kijiji he could have at least posted the event was canceled. Get the word out. The pinball community is bigger than just this thread on Pinside. As far as some people saying what all Nitro has done for pinball. I'm not sure they have done anything. They are a for profit company They try to make money. They like everyone else is looking at improving their bottom line. Hopefully the volunteers are getting something more than just a free pass and a cheeseburger for their time and effort.
