    In response to a poll about why you attend pinball shows- how about the opposite- Why don’t you attend pinball shows? What keeps you from attending?

    distance/travel is the main reason I don’t get to go to shows. Most are just too far away and requiring multiple nights hotel accommodations.

    Quoted from Oneangrymo:

    for me the problem is I can't hear anything! They play heavy music and I can't hear any call outs or any of the game music. I said forget it, and just purchase and play it at home

    Quoted from Pinball-DOOD:

    The Velcro shoes are the killer hahaha and the body odor

    Saw those comments in another thread about why they didn’t go to shows. Is body odor that prevalent among the pinball hobby? The topic of the lack of personal hygiene has come up a lot lately.
