I am putting some serious thought into attending the Chicago pinball expo this October.
Its not cheap to attend so I am reluctant.
$290 to go to the seminars, factory tour & everything else + $510 for the hotel....thats before food, booze, gas from STL burbs to CHI burbs (700 mi round trip).
---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- man thats like $1,250.00!!!!!!!!!!!
I could buy 2-3 sit down racers or a fair pinball machine (prices are low these days).
Has anyone went? Was last year good? Do they get better or worse? Was it worth $1,250?
