I'm hitting the May 4th Preview (of the play in stratford there is no preview of the FCP event.

Any ideas on who is supplying 100 pins ?

Playdium is.

This chick contacted every person in the local community, myself included.

She was thinking about running a tournament which I thought would have been great, but oh well.

I won't be bothering attending, for one it's a weekday during the day and number two I leave for Germany the next day.

Still for the hobby .. Playdium is going to have to pull machines from alot of locations to get to 100. I presume this will set a record for the most DMD pins in one location in Canada (lots of shows in the states have more but still pretty cool) .. I'm sure a bunch of folk from the downtown core or who work downtown will wander by.

Depends on how this is done, from my communication with the organizer and from talking with other people who have dealt with her as well this could end up being a clusterfuck.

It will be good for the hobby if the games work well and everyone has fun.

It will be bad if half the games are busted and not working and there is no real organization to the event other then a bunch of pinballs in a building.

I haven't dealt with her so I'll take your word on it ... but it is exposure for pinball in the market with that many machines I don't see availablity being a problem except for the 12-2 lunch rush.

i don't think the lack of a tourney matters as it is promo for the play pinball is a backdrop (mind you a fairly important one given the number of machines involved)

I'll take this over that production of tommy that used wii instead.

I know a guy who actually sold his DE Tommy to the production company for the play. I guess it's going to be used on stage?

 

[jooky]

This is on my way to work in the morning. I'll definitely stop by and take some pics, report back.

I'm going to try to make it to this event. Hope to meet some of you guys there too!
