Quoted from gdonovan:Don't agree on the last part; I'm working a trade right now on a machine and if it wasn't for that pin I'd have no reason to go to the show
If it takes you a trade to get you to the show then sounds like the show just isn't for you. Most of us are happy to go to a pinball show just because it's a pinball show. And the thrill of sifting the flea markets just adds to the show experience.

Quoted from too-many-pins:so few people registering games ahead of time for freeplay
As prices rise and rise, definitely seeing less people willing to bring games for freeplay at shows.
Quoted from rmarket:Uh, did you miss the part where I mentioned it was a WOMAN that worked with the company to design it? A woman that has children? Had you paid attention last year, we did have an alternate family friendly shirt printed? As far as market share, Arcade gaming in all forms is mostly a male endeavor. Not due to any sort of sexism but more likely that men are more competitive and enjoy it more than women do. I have games on locations and I see it at every location.
it's probably best if you don't keep dredging up stuff like this and focus on your strong points. It sounds like it will be a great show.
Dudes opining on sexism and whatnot on here is a great way to derail an otherwise good thread.
sincerely,
a woman that has children?
Quoted from too-many-pins:It isn't really less people bringing machines to the York Show - each year there are more machines at the show then the previous year and this year will likely end up the same way in the end. The issue at York is the hall is like 30% bigger so you need almost double the freeplay machines to fill up the extra space.
ah OK well it's at least good to hear people are still bringing out there machines and not keeping them at home. We had a show in Ottawa recently and it definitely felt like there was a drop in the home collectors pulling machines out, but hopefully that was just an anomaly.
Big hall or smaller hall, either way I really hope to make it there next year.

Quoted from bingopodcast:On the topic of awards - Don's machine was over-the-top amazing and certainly deserved to win best in show. Congratulations, Don!
What game was this?
