The 'crew' is back home....no problems at customs (we didn't bring back machines!) and good beer to boot! (not counting the remnants that we didn't have time to drink)

Will post a 'post mortem' blog sometime this week


I know you all slept well on Saturday night... I headed for your room to play poker at 12:15am and I heard snoring through the door... so I turned back.


Retiring soon...

Allentown highs and lows...

HIGHS

- delivering the EK
- chatting with a BUNCH of members that I had never met before like Cooke (a pleasure to shoot the mess on Sterns), Poolman (sorry I didn't have time to chat shop... damn...) and all you guiys from London, and Gwen from Windsor who drove in on Friday (sorry I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked to chat with you... ), and so many others...
- chatting and hanging out with the regulars, like Da Crew (SpaceCadet, Tartagliag, Frosken, Maxime and the others)... I had a blast guys... you made my weekend. Count, Sylvain, Mrhide, Scribec (bring me that Big Game!!!), Medvet, Alex, Pinball Wizard and so many others (you all saw the pics)... all asking me to come back and to just nevermind the "special people"... (I will think about it...)
- talking with Mike Purcell and Tanner at the CPR booth (GREAT guys... )
- getting to go to Scott Charles' place and playing classic Sterns like Lightning, Freefall, Catacomb, Stargazer, Big Game.... oh man...
- chatting with Scott and Todd McCulloch for a couple of hours (as nice a guy as he is BIG!)
- playing some nice old classics at the show
- getting parts from Steve Young... VERY nice guy!
- playing Atari 2600 late at night with Da Crew...
- getting my a** handed to me by Frosken at Pong!
- the farmer's market... OMG... I love that place

LOWS

Not many, if any at all... maybe just these points:

- sucked to drive alone... gonna have to grab someone to come with me next year
- less pins than I expected this year, and LOTS of people, so play time is limited
- flea market deals were not all that great... mind you I left Sunday morning, so prices probably dropped
- not having enough cash this year to buy that Andromeda pin in the flea market
- other than the Dragonfist and Hot Hand in the tournament area, not a classic SS Stern in sight to play at the Expo...


I also made a promise for next year... I will bring down 2-3 completely restored pins so people can enjoy them. MOST ASSUREDLY classic Sterns as I was a bit bummed out to not have many to play there. I saw some pins that the owners claimed were restored... if I brought in the EK I did, it would have put them to shame...

See you all there next year.
