I think it's too late for me to arrange to go, but I was wondering if anyone here goes to the Pinball Expo in Chicago [url]www.pinballexpo.com [/url]and what it's like? |

It's only 8 hours drive from where I am, so I am thinking about it, but once again too late to really arrange anything. |

If it's any help Wayne I'm seriously looking at going next year although I might try the fly out of Buffalo version (flights this year are $139 return taxes in with United) Squid |

Squid,
Yes going out of Buffalo is a dream, both cost and no hassle with customs (which is always a drag when flying). Harder to bring back a new game with the Extra Luggage fees though! ;0
I'd be up for going next year, so count me in if you guys want to arrange a group hotel stay and we can start watching JetBlue for some good fairs. Maybe the other Dan (BallyBoy), and Doug (Tuborg) and some others may want to join in. Doug, can always put you up here and car pool down together, our van can carry 5 and luggage. |

25th sounds like a good goal. Gotta start saving brownie points... Hmmm, what rooms need painting...

Was planning on going this year, since I'm heading for a conference and Chicago would have been a nice layover, but the cab ride from the airport to the new location (13 miles away!!!) changed my mind...on top of the new location is in the middle of NOWHERE...I know about the supposedly 'free shuttle' that does the transit every...err...3 or 4 hours... (Mike is a cheap bas...)
The only 'not bad' thing is that there's a "Roach Inn" next to the Westin, to keep that 'budget accomodation option' possible...just like its previous "skanktown" hotel or any budget hotel for the Allentown show...
The 15-hour drive is a rough one, but it's fun when you have great company...and I don't mean you Phil...
I think everyone should go at least once...the part I like the most is the 'all-night' gaming Friday and after the bloody boring banquet....flexy snack anyone?
I might go next year...we'll see...
mes deux cennes,

Returning to the subject...
I'll be there for 24 hours...arriving friday at 4pm, leavng saturday at around 4pm...perfect timing for Friday's all-nighter...
I finally bit the bullet and got a room for Friday night...if someone wants to share for that night, please LMK...it'll be cheaper on the pocketbook...
Can't wait wait to meet the T.O. / London Krew...and drink a few...too many...liquid bread.
