California Extreme

[Vyrastas]

Crap I wish I had realized this was going on... I live in San Jose just next door and have only recently gotten into checking out real pinball machines in the area. Bummed that I completely missed this! Will be bookmarking it for next year.

Just got back an hour ago. I enjoyed Pin-a-Go-Go and the Pacific Pinball Expo more. I'm not complaining though! Anyway, I couldn't find Farsight's booth. Was there another room outside of the main gameroom where they were located? I asked the people working the registration desk about Farsight's location and I got a reaction from them like I was speaking a foreign language!

Pinball in Cali is sounds awesome. Cheers to all who made it there.

If you walked to the left past the 3 Metallica table set up, they were down that way on the corner. They brought up 2 tables with them from Big Bear. An AFM and MB.

did it have the spaceship topper?

maybe there were rules set in place , seems kind of offputting they had the perfect exposition to get more Kickstarter publicity and they ignored the opportunity , FarSight's PA guy has been very quiet lately (all year ) too .

If you're speaking of Rob Mann, he no longer works for FarSight.

The Pinball Museum guys had a whole booth completely dedicated to their Kickstarter project. The nice gentleman there (didn't catch his name) gave my daughter and nephew each a pack of stale Pop Rocks.

Heh, I took the exact same picture with the intent of posting it here. You beat me to it! And yes, it was a bummer that the blower was out of service.

I guess the blower was actually working at some point this weekend. I found this video at pinballsoul.com:
