...is Fri May 6 and Sat May 7.

I plan on being there on Friday.

If you're lucky, I'll take some pics and do a brief write-up. I've been known to "live blog" as well.

As usual my wife isn't allowing me to take my checkbook and her minivan, so I'll be just there to play :D

Going Friday. Hopefully nothing happens to ruin my time this year. Last year my wife and I had just sold our house and were in negotiations to buy one. I got a call from my realtor while I was at the show that the deal was falling apart. Really sucked.

Well, a couple of interesting finds so far.

Big Bang Bar! $1 a play for charity.

I got to play the C1812 - and yes you can keep hitting the left ramp over and over for millions, and it felt even easier on the real thing.

Time for some spot-the-difference:

Actually the scoring is completely different. Ask me now and I prefer Target Alpha over El Dorado.

Is there a good amount of tables there?
Oh yeah. Very busy right now. Lots of stuff old and new, in line for Ghostbusters right now - there are three or four of em, all four Hobbits, two GoTs (one pro one premium), Spidey vault, aforementioned Big Bang Bar....

That sounds great.
Sucks missing it this year, my daughter always looks forward to going.

Stay dry.

It was very busy for a Friday. I was there from noon til about 4:30. I didn't spot you though.
Played all the pins you mentioned and enjoyed them all. Big Bang Bar was a surprise. Well worth a buck.
Didn't get to play Full Throttle, Bride of Pinbot 2.0, or Rob Zombie. I'm going again tomorrow and hope to play those three.
I'm with you on that 8 Ball Deluxe. My buddy and I played it a couple of times. Such a smart layout.

I thought that Spidey Vault sure looked pretty in person. The color just popped!

My favorite part of the day was being able to play all 4 EMs that are in TPA.

My least favorite was a near 4 hour drive home. :(

Took 4 hrs to get home? Yuck!

Did you get a chance to play that TFTC that was there? It was in good shape and a joy to play.

Nice show. Didn't buy anything other than some playfield glass. No Centaurs and the BSD's were too much. Played most of the new stuff except Full Throttle and KISS was having some issues.

I've been going to pinball shows for about 15 years and it's nice to see more women every year. Especially the one in black. Wow. Not being offensive. I'm a happily married man but, still, wow... If you saw her you know what I'm talking about.

Great Italian Hoagie from the farmer's market too... :)
