Edit: In Grapevine, tx, that is (between Dallas and ft worth)

Looks like it could be pretty cool. I'm planning on hitting the swap meet sat morning. My daughter wants to see what real pinball machines look like!

Nope. We were going to head down to Six Flags Over Texas that day, but the weather Saturday has changed those plans.

Reading that makes me sad and feel old all at the same time...

I would love to go but I am in CO so thats not going to happen.

Yeah, I know what you mean. But at the same time, the fall in popularity is, in a way, what's making this hobby even possible. Guess it just depends on how you look at it.

You have a good point so I guess the question is: Would you trade having your machines for the arcades of old? I honestly dont know if I would trade my machines for the days of old to be honest, I suppose I want my cake and to eat it to.
