Hope everyone that went played Phoebe's Varkon, There were only 90 made, and it was in great shape.
It would be nice to see the US economy improve, It's scary walking around an empty mall the size of any other mall in canada.
Ate some BBQ meat.
Bought some LED's.
Picked up a part's package I had shipped to the show.
Played some machines.
Had a good time.

This was my first visit to an American pinball event, interesting & enjoyable.

I believe that I saw the price of $500 for the game show project. I have no idea what it needed to get it up and running. There were Sharpshooter projects there for $75 and $100. Decent prices I thought. On another table there were marquee arcade signs for $15-30 which add a nice touch to any gameroom.

The neon sign booth won a few of my hard earned dollars and for the record Tslam and Cooke - not sure who asked but I did NOT buy the Man Cave sign!. Price was right because the competitors online (I checked their prices) were double what this guy was asking. Got a sweet deal in my books.

Phoebe's machines were the best at the show with titles that I had never seen and only previously read about. The quality of her machines was top notch and they did not break down like some of the other machine  providers' equipment. That Barracora was an instant hit and so many players kept going back to that machine, that speaks volumes! I might have to get one soon.

Chris' pin lights really add a nice touch to a machine, gives them a whole new look. He is nice guy and a great pinball player. He and I went toe to toe but he squeaked a win by 1K in the first match and then he handed me my a$$ on a platter with the Barracora game. He truely loves the hobby.

After playing 7+ hours of pinball I asked myself if I would do this again and I would if it happens next year especially since it is so close, it can only get better.

You didn't show Cooke's competitor on Spring Break!

Just goes to show that pinball is loved by young and old.

Hey dont make fun of my girlfriend!

No Jokes...REMEMBER....that is someones grandmother....or grandfather.

Missed out on LOTR for $2900 !!!! WOW what a deal.

Loved the Sweet Potato

Had a blast with London's finest Pinheads Tslam, Poolman and Cookie!

Had to take home the Love Bug which was quite ironic after the "I hate hippies" rant in the car on the way to the show.

Now I gotta sell a couple games.......separation anxiety is kicking in.
