    One last thing and then I'll shut up:

    I finally met both of the organizers of this event, and what a great couple of guys and a credit to this hobby. Everybody should go to Pintastic just to support passionate people like these two.

    Thanks, guys!

    #452 8 years ago

    Thanks for the kind words brothah. It was awesome finally meeting you. Wish we had more time to hang out. I'll be looking forward to July.

    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    Oh...I got one person to commit to contributing to my kissing booth. So...you know...I'll be making at least $1 at this show. If anybody needs shots from the doctor as a result, you're on your own.

    WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE: Roger Sharpe will be coming to Pintastic New England! In 1976, Roger may have very well saved the entire industry of pinball with his "babe ruth" shot. Read more about it here.

    We're honored to have Roger attend and give a seminar. I can't wait to hear him speak about the craziness of the 70's and his vision for pinball in the future. He's a legend if ever there was one.

    I'm also available for lectures on how to be an idiot. (My wife would be happy to sponsor it.)

    You know how to reach me.

    #465 8 years ago

    All right folks. Lets make this the best New England show possible. Who is bringing their games? I know we have lots of people not far away with amazing collections. I plan on bringing my freshly restored machines, and everything else that's ready for prime time. Pintastic already has vendors, sponsors, prizes, and an amazing location.

    Lets show these guys we support them and lets get registering our games. The more games we bring to the show the better the show we are going to have.

    I will personally buy a case of beer for whomever brings a BBB

    #466 8 years ago

    Just wanted to link in our new promo video that Eric Bundy just did for us. It came out amazing! Hope you guys like it. If you do, be sure to let him know right here. He worked really hard on this and we can't thank him enough.

    Thanks Eric. You're the best brothah!

    #467 8 years ago

    Looks great! Nice job Eric!

    Wow. Not one damn mention of my kissing booth.

    #469 8 years ago
    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    Wow. Not one damn mention of my kissing booth.

    Inflation. If you were $10 a kiss instead of $1, you'd have had top billing.

    Of course for $10, you'd be expected to put some tongue in it.

    I would like to announce that Spanky, the subject of my avatar, will be making her first (and perhaps only) public appearance at Pintastic New England. As you can tell from the picture, if she doesn't like you, she'll let you know. And no...it's not Photoshopped.

    Bump for what's shaping up to be an amazing show!

    #476 8 years ago
    Quoted from dannunz:

    Hello everyone Pintastic New England is creeping up on us.
    The show is July 10th and 11th. Show times are Thursday all day set up....Friday show opens at 10am to 9pm. After party for hotel guests....staff....vendors 9pm to 1:30am. Sponsorship will be providing the food. Pool and hot tub will be open till 12 midnight. Saturday show time is 9am to 8pm. At around 7:30 the classic rock band Phaticus will begin playing in the free play room. Anyone who was at the show on Saturday is welcome to stay and enjoy the music, relax and have a few drinks.
    Now, we have been working super hard to bring you guys a kick ass show with huge tournaments....after party....band....a bunch of big time pinball speakers, many still to be announced.
    One thing we can not provide is the games. We will be bringing about 10 games from our private collection. Vendors will be bringing the top games. But we desperately need the New England pinball community to bring games to the show. Even with all the other stuff the show will not be a success with out games. We are giving some incentives and here they are.
    Anyone who registers a game here at http://www.pintasticnewengland.com/game-registration.html before June 1st will get 2 raffle tickets into the free play raffle. Friday and Saturday we have 6 prizes each day ranging from $20 to $100 for the people who bring games. After June 1st you will get one ticket for each game registered. Also the fine people at COLOR DMD are offering a $50 discount to each color dmd that is purchased between 3-1-15 to 7-10-15 from them and displayed on there Pin that they put in the free play area. More details on this coming soon. These things are all on top of the free pass you will get for every game that is put in free play area. I don't know what else we can do guys lets make Pintastic a great show!
    Gabe reached at 774-278-3540 and customer service # is 774-278-3541

    These times 8pm and 9pm cannot be serious.? Closing times....

    Times and Schedules:
    Thursday(7/9) - Vendor and Free Play setup 11am-9pm
    Friday(7/10) - 9am-9pm *After Party till 1:30am*
    Saturday(7/11) - 9am-8pm

    #477 8 years ago

    Actually the show opens Friday at 10am. Why are you surprised by the closing times? Free play room is open during the after party. So technically closing time for hotel guests is 1am on Friday.

    Show of the year. Don't miss it.

    #479 8 years ago

    Friday and Saturday night are the times when pinball shows are the best. Closing at 8pm on a Saturday seems early. Especially Saturday night both both show go'ers, guests and collector's....uhhmmm....

    This is the adult beverage time along with pinball playing..

    We have added a live rock cover band to start at 7PM and play till 10pm for people who were at the show on Saturday for FREE. This is the relax and hang out time cash bar will be available.. We still need to have all the games cleaned up by the end of the night. People will be tired and need to pack up and head out Sunday morning. The party has got to end some time.

    You need to also remember that the vendors have been on their feet non stop for 2 whole days. They're exhausted and need to get packed up as well. Then we want them to sit back, relax, enjoy some great music and have some time to just talk and hang out with everyone for themselves.

    The adult beverages will be flowing as well!

    All the rooms are sold out - do you have a block of rooms still available. I need three potentially.

    Thanks

    Quoted from shlockdoc:

    Thanks
    Mk

    Call the hotel and book them it is not sold out. There is a issue with the on line booking.

    #492 8 years ago

    Thanks. Will do today.

    #493 8 years ago

    We asked the hotel to shut down their online booking service. It's been a pain to say the least.

    Here is a direct link to our accommodations page for all the hotel details. http://www.pintasticnewengland.com/accommodations.html

    If you'd like to book a room, simply give them a call at 508-347-7393. Ask for Kathryn or Peter first. Tell them that you're coming in for the Pintastic New England Pinball event. They'll give you the $99 discounted room rate for whatever room you want for as long as you want. Up to 10 days for people who'd like to vacation and see the historical sights of Boston or check out the Sox at Fenway. They're only an hour away from the hotel.

    New England's largest mall (The Collection of Natick) is only 35-40 minutes from the hotel just outside of Boston. Amazing stores, restaurants and shopping both at the mall and the surrounding area. It's a shoppers haven for you shoppers out there. http://www.natickmall.com/

    Headed in the opposite direction of the hotel, you can go to the Yankee Candle Factory and check out their amazing home base location. This is where Yankee Candle was started. It's a lot of fun with great stuff for kids. We go at least once every year to see the Bavarian Christmas village where they make it snow inside. So cool! That's on 45 minutes from the hotel in beautiful Deerfield, MA.
    http://www.yankeecandle.com/about-us/visit-our-village-stores/south-deerfield-events

    OR, for the thrill seekers out there, Six Flags over New England is only 45 minutes away from the hotel as well and 20 minutes from Yankee candle. Simply AWESOME! https://www.sixflags.com/newengland

    Last but not least is Old Sturbridge Village. This is a destination unto itself and is directly across from the hotel. You can walk right across the street and see how America looked and functioned in it's earliest beginnings. All the workers dress up in the clothes of the time and work in their shops for you just like they did back in the 16 and 1700's. They have animals, a cobbler shop, blacksmith shop, horse carriage ride, beautiful boat ride, an amazing saw mill, which is powered solely by the river current. That's my personal favorite. You can talk to the workers and they answer all your questions. It's a blast from the past! They also have gift shops and a restaurant and all kinds of stuff as you walk around the beautiful scenic acreage of the Old Sturbridge Village property. You can check them out here... https://www.osv.org/

    We're working on trying to get a Pintastic discount coupon from the OSV for everyone. If you're interested, PM me and let me know.

    For all those who have asked, those are just a few of the fun things a couple or family can do to spend their vacation or just a couple extra days in the Sturbridge area.

    Thanks everyone.
