Title: PINBURGH 2011
Post by: smartbomb2084 on November 20, 2010, 06:03:16 pm

I know this tournament is not until March of 2011 but I was wondering if anyone on this forum that makes it to the Allentown or Ohio pinball shows has been to this one before. I am thinking of seeing how my skills stand up against the 'Big Boys' before my aging eyesight fails me completely.    $3000 U.S. is the first place prize.

If it was closer and not a long ride on the Turnpike, I'd probably go. I stretch it just to reach Allentown and at least that isn't on the Turnpike. Looks like a lot of fun though.

I hear you about the distance.  I have the same problem with getting to Allentown.  It is a 6+ hour drive one way for me to get there.  This event, however, is 'just around the corner' at 120 miles or so.

I've rode my bicycle to Pittsburgh and back before... but that was a long time ago.
