Farsight at the Arcade Expo this weekend

[Jeff Strong]

So anyone else planning to go? I think I'm going to hit it up Friday night. Their list of 750 pins is very impressive, with just about every oldie I can think of...but most importantly: William's Alpine Club from 1965, the pin my family had when I was growing up and I haven't seen another one since I was a kid...so this is really going to be special for me. While everyone else is drooling over the new stuff, I'll be in the EM and wedgehead section living the dream!

Check out the impressive full list here:

You're still flying over, right?

Thanks for talking me into looking back into it man. Once I saw they had Alpine Club it was a done deal.

You know it! If SYT and I had planned ahead we could've pimped the 'cast at the event too. Working on the latest ep now btw.

Yeah, my jaw still hasn't made it's way off the floor yet at the prospect of 750 machines, with the large majority being pre-1980 (oh baby).

Looks like Heaven.

For all you pin-heads from MA there is a pinball festival in Sturbridge MA the weekend of July 10-11 I believe at the Sturbridge host hotel. 200+ tables. Woo-Hoo. See you there!!

We get Pinfest over in Allentown in May! Not a huge collection of oldies but last year they had a pretty impressive vendor collection with a lot of the new Sterns - Star Trek, Metallica, Mustang, AC/DC, plus there was a WOZ, America's Most Haunted and Wrath Of Olympus(?). I hope to see Walking Dead, Wrestlemania, and The Hobbit there this time around.

What a blast!

I made sure to play several games of Paragon for you, but unfortunately the phone was dead by then so no pics of it

Hey! Fireball! I've heard of that. Y'know, if FS held a poll, I bet it would gather enough votes to be considered for TPA. I bet I bet.

This one was my wife's favorite pin:

Just so you know, Jeff, you are now on the hook for telling all about this place in a future BlahCade.

Will do! It was quite amazing. Of course all the newer pins were there too, but it was so cool trying out a ton of wedgeheads and other oldies I'd never even seen before, or in some cases heard of before. Didn't have nearly enough time to try even a fraction of them.

And here we have my personal Holy Grail...the pin I cut my teeth on as a kid...I haven't seen one of these in about 20 years:
