Arcades are more than welcome. Please spread the word to the arcade guys as well. Pinfest is only a name this is an arcade show as well.
Less then two weeks folks,.....lets get the game count up. I'm bringing 8 it looks like,......if my new beast can hold that many, might be 7.

Looking for a Dynamo HS-1 or HS-2 project cabinet, would like to have the guts included, game PCB not important.
Get those games registered folks, the community participating is what makes the show work.
I'm bringing Counterforce, Hit The Deck, Elvis, Batman The Dark Knight, World Poker Tour, and Striker Xtreme

I'll be bringing my Mousin Around (will also be for sale).
Switched out Striker Xtreme for Algar, needed one i could take the head off so my bed would fit.....no more sleeping on the ground for this old man.

Anyone from Ottawa going the full weekend?
I might have bit more than I could chew in terms of stock for my pop up. I have a few boxes of shirts that I would need to be brought down.

Did you try on MAACA?

Anyone who was coming Thursday to help set up just to let you know we can't get in until Friday morning now. Any help would be appreciated if you can....

I will certainly be interested in how many people attend as compared to other years.
The show is no where near as big as VFW, but it could certainly use a little more hype and build up from those of us in the pinball community.
For me, only the London Pinball Sunday sale was closer.
I appreciate what you are doing and sacrificing to run a show.

I have no data but the crowds have definitely grown over the 3 years. Having an Ontario show is amazing.
VFW has been around for many years and they have a massive old collection backing the show, much like Pinball Expo in Chicago. Totally different league of shows.

I went to a show in Rochester NY once.
A game room show (hot tubs, billiards, juke boxes, slots, pins and arcades)
They were having the boat show in the other larger hall.
Now that had some people.

Considering just 4 short years ago Rob and Dave didn't think they'd fill the not very large building at the Wasaga Beach Sportsfield its grown very well.
Hopefully Dave keeps his energy up for a long time yet....

Also bringing a few troubleshooting tools (Multimeter, portable soldering kit, etc) if anyone needs help with a machine.
