St Joseph, MI
Yes, it's not until May, but VFW Show tickets are on sale now.
It's a great show and a great chance to play many games that you don't see very often.
See you there if you go on Saturday!

I went a couple years ago and it stands to this day as one of the most amazing and fun pinball experiences I've ever had. I even got to meet Clay briefly at the end of the show and got to thank him for all of his videos and guides that have allowed me to collect and repair my own games (and help a couple friends get into the hobby/sickness as well)... If i could be there, there's no doubt i would. Amazing selection of games!

Same here. My experiences as well . Games are very well maintained. Great time.
My birthday is tomorrow and I know what I will be buying myself for a gift! I look forward to this show every year more than any other. A weekend of unabashed, pinball-playing goodness.
Got my EM tourney ticket and Friday pass. If I can clear the weekend, I will be grabbing Sat and/or Sun too.

Quoted from MrBally:And there will be more pins available in 2016 as the annex (also used for overnight pinball play Saturday to Sunday at 6:00 AM) has been expanded; "for the good of pinball"
Will that include solid state games in the annex? I'm having a hard time convincing my friends to join me this year, since we were all most excited about the overnight experience last year, but then a little disappointed that the annex only contained EM machines.
I just got an e-mail back from Clay saying that there are a lot more solid state games in the annex now, but not much past 1988 except for a couple of games. Hopefully that will be enough to convince my friends to go, otherwise I doubt I'll be able to.
Here's a list of all the Zac's in the Annex;
Black Belt
Clown
Devil Rider
Farfalla
Hot Wheels
Locomotion
Magic Castle
Mexico 86
Mystic Star
Pinball Champ
Pool Champion
Robot
Soccer Kings
Stars Phoenix
Thunder Man
Time Machine
Zankor
Also, off the top of my head, the Annex has;
Independence Day
Last Action Hero
Stargate
Harley Davidson (Sega/Stern)
Roller Coaster Tycoon
As we get closer to the show, the miscellaneous games may move around a bit, but the Zacs will stay. There may also be outside folks bringing games for sale, and those will be placed in the Annex as well.
Thanks,
Eric V.
I will be there and bringing 5 buddies along. We will be there on friday and also in the EM world championships!
VFW is a show NOT to miss.
Saturday will be a golfing day for us. I dont golf but I know how to drive a golf cart while drunk

Quoted from MrBally:I heard Gene, Gene, the dancing machine cleared out one of his roller-rinks and found a big stash of parts. He might come to the vfw showcase and try to pedal them out of the trunk of his Bentley
count me in!
bump for a great time!
Get your tickets now before this sells out!
I will be there on Friday with a big smile if anyone wants to say hello.
Just purchased two tickets for Sunday. Going to drive up for the day with my 12 year old son. Should be a blast!! 
Anybody wants to get in on the Friday tournament they should act quickly. There are not very many tickets left. Much like Papa, we limit the number of tickets available for the tournament to keep things moving quickly and allow everybody to have competitive fun.
