So excited for this and can’t wait to hit my favourite Edmonton sushi place sumo sumo for dinner!!! So stoked that it’s basically in the parking lot.
Loomis, CA
Flying up from California tomorrow morning... very much looking forward to the show and the tournament.
It’s already hitting 90 degrees here, so the change in weather will be welcome — I’m not ready for summer just yet.
Question for locals: What’s the best pinball joint in Edmonton to hit up tomorrow night?
Quoted from pins4life33:Okay that is really it, and please let focus on what is really here at the show and not the negativity of what isn't, this is going to be one hell of a super show this year we have pulled out all of the stops so come on out and support the pinball and arcade scene in our great city!!!!
Don't see how anyone could be negative, going to be a great line up. Big thanks to Tommy and everyone else who is bringing a machine. Couldn't make it last year, looking forward to Friday!
Quoted from TheJerol:Question for locals: What’s the best pinball joint in Edmonton to hit up tomorrow night?
Beercade on Whyte Ave has a solid lineup. Lots of arcades. Easy to get to from Sherwood Park
For the most part people are great but there is always that one that person that will be a keyboard warrior and say well you don’t have this machine or where is JJWW, which is why I like to use the preemptive disclaimer to remind everyone just how lucky we are to have a distributor that supports the Alberta community like he does!

Yeah, Tommy fucking rocks 
4086154.jpgQuoted from pins4life33:So I have a big announcement for some surprise machines for the event, yes you didn't think there wasn't going to be one did you. Without further ado we are proud to announce that YEGPIN will be the first pinball show in Canada to show off:
Black Knight: Swords of Rage
To top this off one of our huge supporter donors from YEGPIN has allowed Tommy from Nitro to show off his:
Alice Cooper Nightmare Castle
That is right Nitro Pinball has done it once again and literally moved heaven and earth to bring these titles to our show.
So please thank Tommy Floyd for all his does for pinball in Alberta and please visit his booth when you arrive at the show.
Back to work!!!!
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Yeah, Tommy fucking rocks

Thanks guys! Couldn’t have done this without Tommy calling in some favours to have them shipped out and Derek and all the great peeps at Diehard that put this great event on for all of us! See you guys tomorrow night.
*edit* oh and maybe most importantly, thanks to my understanding/supportive wife that puts up with my crazy obsession... errr I mean passion. I’m doing this while she is driving with our daughters to the event tomorrow.
I think this is what YEGPIN is about we have a ton of people who go out of their way to make this happen to deliver such a special and unique show for the public. There are many people who just care and want to help in anyway they can to make that happen. Jamie has done a wonderful thing and will forever be in YEGPIN tales and stories for years to come in his journey to bring the Bkack Knight to us. Thanks man you are one awesome dude!!! You will be well taken care of when you arrive!!!

Yeah, if he was really supporting the community he would be bringing a Beatles Platinum and a Wonka!!!! WHAT THE HELL TOMMY!!!!!! 
Anyone from Calgary be picking up some glass? I can't make it up this weekend - maybe a kind soul can bring back another sheet? Can float said kind soul the monies up front. If you're in the north end of city - even better for me for pick up.

Jamie you’re a shining example of everything great about this community. Nitro needed help getting these games in time for Yegpin....and you stepped up brother! Can’t wait to give you a big hug and an ice cold beer! BTW - You’ll be the first to play these bad boys! Thank you from the bottom of my Pinhead heart!
Quoted from FlipperFreak:Duplicate Post

No worries Tommy. I’m just happy to finally be able to contribute something to this amazing event finally after attending the other years. Thanks again to Diehard pinball league for all the hard work you guys do for this event to happen every year!
Quoted from Pinhead306:[quoted image]
I dunno, kind of looks like you could have put 3 more games in that trailer... 
Quoted from Fytr:I dunno, kind of looks like you could have put 3 more games in that trailer...
Haha I already thought about that! If I would have made a bit better time I had an em lined up in Calgary to pick up!
Quoted from dirkdiggler:What's with the stock car? Did you pick it up on your adventures?
Was supposed to grab it in Calgary but my ETA in Sherwood is after 930 so I blasted past it. It’s at my buddies aunts house.
Early candidate for "Best in Show" : Judge Dredd, belonging to Tyler/aeonblack. Unreal pin. One of those "woah" moments. Hopefully people can hear the sound files he's installed.
