    For me it’s all about distance, quality and quantity of free play games.

    Quoted from dannunz:

    Why so negative? I go to many shows around the country and don't see much of anything you are mentioning in this post. People are for the most part very nice,clean, and respectful of my machines. I go to shows to hang out with all my pinball friends. I love bringing games to shows to watch people play them and enjoy them. This is the only way we are going to grow this hobby we all love. I am the founder of Pintastic New England and I always told myself when I starter a show I would always be the one who brought the most games. I am bringing 28 games this year for everyone to play and enjoy.
    I do agree with you that free admission is not enough. Thats why we give free play bringers cool parties and give away over $3,000 in cash and prizes. We have a very detailed points system were you can ear points to redeem for cool swag and gift card as well as exclusive access.

    You all totally seem to have the pinball show thing figured out. One of these years I hope to make the trip.
