If you're going to hear yet another "history of pinball" lecture or kiss some dude's ass that hasn't had a job in 25 years, Expo is the place.

Seminars from P-ROC and NuCore are the ones I look forward to not necessarily the "history of pinball" ones. Those are good for your first year but since it is a lot of the same people, they bring a lot of the same stories. I still try to go to most, especially to see the new hardware that's keeping my machines running.

Reminds me of one time that I got in the elevator at the Expo. I get on, get down 2 floors and 8 drunks walk on stagger on to the elevator and I was just waiting to get puked on. They all got off, blown away at the idea of all the pinball, and I swear, with no exaggeration, there were 14 beer bottles left on the floor of the elevator. They were all fun drunks, but my god I've never seen so much alcohol fit in one elevator.

I went to reserve last night but didnt finish since my wallet was upstairs & I was lazy = $124 nightly
Just now I had my card in hand ready to roll & they are no longer taking reservations with the pinball expo discount = $184 nightly
I'm out, just going to spend $10 & go to www.cppinball.com tomorrow instead & play 50 machines drunk. Damn, ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, ---fudgesicle--- & other things Saint will censor with his evil forum rules.
That is so friggin lame. Seriously lame. I refuse to get strong-armed into spending another $200 on top of the $372 I was planning to spend on hotel + who knows what else on gas, food, booze & etc.

CP Pinball isn't as much fun as Expo, but I've gone to CP Pinball once when I went to St. Louis, it was lots of fun and you are sure that games are in good condition at CP Pinball. Expo still is a thing that you have to go to eventually so reserve early for next year ;)

Im staying a couple blocks north, I got 5 days/nights for $225.

Oh I hope to see the expo some time but as a poor college kid I simply can't make that monetary sacrifice.
Though $10 plus half a gallon of gas will get a HELLUVA lot of the silver ball at CP's tonight >:D
