Pinball Expo

"I was wondering if you have ever considered going or invited to any pinball expo to share your wealth of knowledge and opinions on the current state of the pinball industry."

"It would be fun to host a seminar or a panel discussion with Kaneda, maybe as the MC of that panel discussion."

"Should I have a seminar at one of the pinball expos? It would probably be like two people in the audience who would listen to me."

"I love going to pinball shows. When I go to the shows, people usually recognize me for the most part who listens to the show and say they enjoy the show."

"And it's always great going to these shows. And I love when I talk to people and I say are you on Pinside and they say no, what is that? And I love that because they're just there. These are new people that are getting introduced to the hobby, introduced to pinball collecting."

"And if we're in for these shows, I think there, again, there wouldn't be the kind of resurgence we're seeing now in the hobby. So thank you to all you show organizers out there."

"All the different pinball expos and shows that go on are incredible. And the amount of hard work, right? The amount of hard work that goes into shows like, fantastically Gabe"

"It's a very thankless profession at time to organize these pinball shows. And these pinball tournaments and these expos and these free plays"

"So Dutch brought their prototype game to I think it's called the Dutch pinball Open or the Dutch pinball Expo. If you guys didn't see the game was there all weekend, this show is really cool."

"The facility that it's in is amazing. It's like this circular building and there's pinball machines that go up multiple stories in this sort of circular pattern. Very, very cool. One of the cool looking shows I've seen in terms of pinball shows."

"But you were there. So we're excited to talk to someone who actually went to the show. I also know that you went on a tour of American pinball."

"Joe Balcer and Josh and the rest of the guys, they were at the show at the time that we went because we went early one morning."

"Let's start there because I think there's been a lot of recap of Expo. And we'll go into what you saw at the show."

"And as we were away, Brendan and I were in Europe, pinball Expo was going on. I would have been there with you Blake. I would have been drinking with you guys. But you were there. So we're excited to talk to someone who actually went to the show."

"But I have Ted as a guest and Ted is probably the greatest guest ever to give his pinball Expo predictions. Partly because Ted had a few to kill as in him partly because I don't even think Ted knows what pinball Expo is."

"And I won't be back until October 15thish which is going to be after Expo."

"Well, I was telling Ted I'm like, let's do a pinball Expo prediction show and he goes, what's pinball Expo? And he said, he said, I've been to one show Chris. I said, you're more than qualified to then give your predictions on Expo because you've been to one pinball show."

"I said, you're more than qualified to then give your predictions on Expo because you've been to one pinball show. You're almost been to them all."

"I think without a doubt, without a doubt, Jersey Jack is going to own the show. I mean, let's be honest. Ain't no Batman code going to be great enough to be more impressive than what Jack brings to that show."

"A new Jersey Jack machine. Always. Always. Excites us because we know it's going to be incredible. And the quality is going to be there."

"Jersey Jack is the only company right now that makes games to the highest degree. They don't cut corners. They don't take stuff out. They put all they can into the machines."

"The pirates theme pirates in general is a magical theme. Pirates and bounties and you know, rum and ships and treasures and you know the ocean and like sword fighting. It's got the right kind of theme that it could do it. But it's a widebody."

"I also will do my pinball expo prediction show coming up, but I just have to wait a little bit. I want to see if any news breaks right before expo."

"People who have really wronged the community, the community should stand up and say nope, you're never coming back, sorry John Chardonnay, you may never come back to a pinball show."

"I don't think they should come to Chicago Expo. I'll tell you why. Because it costs money."

"If I was pinball Expo, I wouldn't invite them to the show. If I was CoinTaker, I wouldn't want them in your booth."

"There's absolutely no point in these guys going to Expo again, having another seminar again where they make more excuses again about the status of the Big Lebowski production."

"Listeners of the show. I just realized that I'm going to be in Greece during pinball expo. Because it is it is the what the weekend of like the 15th 16th and 17th or something like that. Yeah, I'd have to look at it. It breaks my heart, but I'll be at the acropolis and the Greek Isle. So I'm devastated on a small level."

"But yeah, we're going to be showing the game at the pinball life open house for expo. Okay. The games will not be at expo. Game will not be at expo, but pinball life will be at the bottom of the open house."

"So pinball life is doing the party again. Yeah. I don't have any details on it yet. But well, it'll be soon. I think last year, right? They didn't have their party that Stern's big epic."

"There's a few thing going on I think the big thing is on my mind right now is is for me personally is attacked from mod remake so I've got that machine on order and it's I've been waiting for it you know the rumors of that game probably date back a year Where it was supposed to be you know I think launched a pinball expo last year and they didn't quite make it unfortunately"

"Did I go to these pinball shows? Yeah. Did I buy a thing going into him for what 40 years? Yeah."

"Now as far as the pinball expose, I've been going to these pinball expose since the 80s. My kids have played championship pinball and our world pinball champion since I think 89. I had both of my kids meet Steve Kordak and walked around the Williams factory with him getting tips for what was 12 years old because they were they won first and second."

"I had both of my kids meet Steve Kordak and walked around the Williams factory with him getting tips for what was 12 years old because they were they won first and second. My two boys went up against the sharp boys and that doesn't make much sense to you but everybody on that website who's going to hear this goes yep."

"And he shouldn't show his face at pinball shows. He should have the same fate that John Popadiuk cares, which is he should be an exile. He should be ashamed himself and he should not show himself anywhere near pinball shows, pinball expos, or he should just go away."

"So why should we see Andrew Heighway at pinball parties? He was fired by the pinball world. He was fired by his own investors. He was fired, told the walk away."

"So why should we share beers and talk about pinball? Why should we see you at shows? You failed. You're done in pinball. You'll never be welcomed again in the pinball world."

"And like Alan Town, there are almost a lot of the games are for sale and we have a lot of vendors. Any other shows in the country don't have as many vendors. Alan Town has tons of vendors."

"The show is a pinball Expo and Gamer Expo July 6th, 7th and 8th. It's basically, if you cross Texas and Expo, the two of them, that's what I kind of, and then Alan and Tom, it's the three things that all the best of all three shows, I think."

"We have 65 vendor spots and the... The vendor hall has been sold out for two months."

"I went to play it at like this, you know, the Australian equivalent to the pinball Expo and they've only done it once. It's literally like a once off. And I saw Wizard of Oz there and how the anyone was playing it compared to the other machines"

"a lot of the pinball expos were like, hey, do you want to come and be a guest? And I was like, absolutely, I would love to be a guest, you know, so, I started, you know, traveling a lot"

"He let us display it at the Pacific Pinball Expo on Free Play for people. So people got to check it out for a weekend, and then he lent it to me again for my solo arc show, a cop rog gallery in San Monica about six years ago."

"I remember exactly the timing. It might have been after pinball expo. I mean, I don't go to a lot of shows and events in all honesty."

"I just wanted to see beautiful games and have a bunch of fun gameplay. And really, there wasn't much of that. There was a wee room, all right, that had a bunch of games in it. But to be honest, they were all really dated and half the more and even working."

"I didn't give a crap about any of that. I just wanted to see beautiful games and have a bunch of fun gameplay. And really, there wasn't much of that. There was a wee room, all right, that had a bunch of games in it. But to be honest, they were all really dated and half the more and even working."

"Yeah, no, I think speaking seriously, the pinball Expo in Chicago was not one, I think, that anyone should bring their other half to as a first introduction to the world of pinball. It was definitely much more for the industry, for the folks who were doing the selling and who were doing the parts and want to know the crazy stuff that goes underneath."

"Yeah, and Expo, I always feel bad when I bring people to Expo and they're expecting to play a lot of great pinball because the game room itself is not that great as opposed to like stuff like T.P. Apple, which will have like 250 working games in good order."

"But Brenda accompanied me to Expo this year. Now, Brenda, you played a bunch of stuff at Expo and what's your observations of just a pinball show in general as a female?"

"Well, I was really appreciative. There was a fantastic wine bar and a really just good bar in general. There, I don't think I would have survived for the rest. Okay, so it takes alcohol if you're a woman to survive."
