Pinball Wizard:
I get up at around 6 ish saturday, make it around 10:30, play till around 12:30, go to the diner that is walking distance, back but 1:00, play till 7, stop in York, PA for dinner at Hooters (love their Daytona Beach Wings), back at home by midnight. Guess your not as much of a wide-awaker as me.

Turns out my math is a little off.  Mapquest says my trip is just over 6 hours one way.  However, I am not discouraged.  I like the overnight idea because it makes the overall experience a little less hectic and provides an opportunity to make a return trip on Sunday early before the crowd shows up.

smartbomb2084:
How about some feedback from the show from those who went for those who didn't get to go.

 Woe is me.

WareWolF:
There were some good deals to be had in the flea market on Friday, don't know about saturday or sunday I never made it back.  Most of the games inside were extremly over priced and/or in really lousy shape (older games -- I didn't play any new DMD games not really into them).  Most were setup very poorly with almost no slope and were a complete bore to play, for a show supposedly well attended by enthusiasts you expect they would take a few minutes to level the games and put the back leg levelers up.   Dirty games for $1200 with weak flippers give the hobby a bad rep and that is mostly what was there.   I apologize for the few who do setup their games properly but it's a minority.   If I did not live in allentown I don't think I would bother to travel to this show.

Pinball Wizard:
The flea market saturday was pretty full of deals still. I had the problem of a lot of games leaned to the left because the floor was sloped that way. Early on the show was disappointing because of how crowded it was but it thinned down a little and you could walk around again. I thought it was an okay show but vendor space has gotten too big. They need to move to a bigger location.
