As of right now,I am going and will be covering it for my cable access show - however my personal life has been in tremendous upheaval for a few months now (which is why I haven't been posting much) and I won't know for sure if I do go until that Friday.

If I do - I'll be there Friday & Saturday.

I have to work due to a system conversion on Friday but I'm going on Saturday.

I'm going on Saturday! Come hang out!

 

[Bowflex]

I'm trying to make it up for a good portion of one of the days. It's just been challenging with work peaking for busy days lately.

 

[Nightwing]

If I do go, I'd love to meet up with you all.

 

[Nightwing]

I should be there - though its still up in the air as of now. If I am able to attend - I'll update here.

So I did make it up here,albeit a lot later that I would have liked. Anyways, lots of pinball goodness is in play for this weekend!

If you are looking for real life TPA tables - here is some of what they have:

TOTAN,NGG,Taxi,Diner,Gorgar,Xenon,WhoDunnit,LCA,El Dorado,Funhouse,Firepower,Road Show,Cyclone,BK & BK2K,High Speed & The Getaway,Space Shuttle,F-14 Tomcat & TAF.

STTNG,ToM,AFM,SS,T2,BSD,TZ - all with LED lighting & Color DMD displays

I personally crossed three off my to do TPA list:

Jackbot
El Dorado: City of Gold
Safecracker (w/tokens! - but not authentic ones)

There is a Haunted House in the auction room,but it wasn't working when I saw it.

Other highlights:

My second Capcom table - Breakshot is here. Old school table feel - I liked it!
There is a BBB also.

Jersey Jack has a WOZ & a Hobbit here.
Bunch of newer Sterns - Ultimate Spider-Man,GOT,Metallica,Kiss,Ghostbusters

There is a P3 table,as well as a Heighway Full Throttle

Dutch Pinball has two Big Lebowskis & a BOP 2.0 (hope to play them tomorrow)

VP Cabs is here with their new vertical pinball setup. I didn't like it,but it does seem solidly built.
There is an Americas Most Haunted & a Rob Zombie table here also.

Not as many EMs as last year,but still a decent showing - with some good tables.

Anyways - tomorrow is another day. Hoping to interview Lyman Sheets,Steve Ritchie,and the guys from Dutch Pinball.

I'll check back in at some point. If any TPAers coming here want to meet up,PM me here

I'll most likely be wearing my blue shirt that says Sci-Fi Journal. If not that then a black Flash comic logo shirt.
