So who else is coming ?


Mike

My families going.  Going to a do some tourism in the region, too.

Hoping some vendors show up to save on some parts.   Otherwise, I'll get a shipment to the "UPS Store" for pickup.

According to the website CPR is going to be there.

Thanks for the tip! I gotta check out those playfield thingys all the kids are screaming about!

I'll be there, hopefully with some Mongol, shooter rod and pyramid pre-orders.

I'll be there too.

I will be there and may even bring wifey along.

Just pitched the wife...I might be in.

Where did you throw her?

   I'll be there,Saturday only.  
   Just for the heck of it (floorspace pending), I might bring my POTC Zizzle pinball mod for one last road trip before I take it apart for a new project

So I'm thinking of going with my family. What day do you think would be best? I could make Friday evening which I thought might be the best in terms of least people, but Saturday (at least with other shows) tends to have more stuff.

Duane

I wouldn't bother with Friday, it's only open for like 4 hours, I'm planning on going Sat/Sun

Sat/ Sun.

Threw the wife on the kitchen table, stairs, floor, etc.....that was before we got married. Ha ha

Here is a new pdf flyer for the event.

The tournament is going to run the same as the Michigan Open Pinball Tournament.

Hey I remember seeing that thing at Expo last year!  Good job!  

For anyone going, this is the cheapest hotel I could find in a reasonable distance:

http://www.hotels.ca/hotel/det.....otelId=201785#prices

The Motel 6 listed on the website for $80 has jacked it's prices up to $127 USD a night.

Taxes in I got the room at the Super 8 with 2 double beds for $82.59 taxes in.  It's a 15 min drive as opposed to a 5 min one, but I think the savings make it worth the extra distance.  

   There are several "cross border shopper motels" on Niagra falls Blvd. between the Highway and the expo location with rates as low as....well $45.  
   You get what you pay for e.g.: 18' t.v. w/ broken remote and 4 channels, a bed, washroom, a strong disinfectant smell but suprisingly no "coucarachas".
  Of course it's first come first served, no website.

BACK TO THE ORIGINAL LOCATION !!!!!
