Pinball Expo

"It's funny. We always laugh too because like we both work in marketing and we look at people who make PowerPoint presentations at Expo and how crappy they all are. And it's like these guys are trying to sell you on their companies and on their games. And it's like third grade PowerPoint skill sets."

"But I think Bren is also referring to like the seminars, right? I mean, how exciting are those things? You just kind of dry, aren't they?"

"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."

"The, the entire weekend, the weekend is, it's awesome. I, when I went there, I loved it. Whenever I go to expo, I'm like, I'm never going to expo again. It's so boring in comparison."

"imagine if people spend that much time even just in our day exercising what a pinball expo would look like right we've all I've been to the shows and I have to say it's not exactly that the healthiest group of guys that are congregating and enjoying the product"

"I got to say just overall I was pretty much let down by expo 2016. I went in with really high expectations of what I was gonna see What I was gonna play and what would come from these companies knowing that this was sort of the the industry show"

"But was really interesting is the amount of or shall I say just the lack of attention There was around those two titles there. There was never a line to play any of the games or was never much Action around those titles."

"So I got to say just overall I was pretty much let down by expo 2016. I went in with really high expectations of what I was gonna see What I was gonna play and what would come from these companies knowing that this was sort of the the industry show"

"I think it was a big miss opportunity for Chicago gaming company and if it's gonna be attacked from Mars Or monster bash or a cactus canyon or whatever it's gonna be I think these guys need to get their act together"

"spending a few hours with Ed and Dennis Nordman and and and and Brett and and and and he calls it Ed's big big smoke over at Spears. It was awesome It was probably one of the highlights of of my my expo this year"

"And you know I wasn't planning on doing some additional podcast After my pinball expo prediction podcast But there's just a few things I want to talk about some things that are developing"

"Just two days to go before we finally get Pinball Expo 2016 I'm super excited this is Kaneda"

"But I want to give Kaneda credit for a really good episode 61 where he gives a preview of expo"

"After my pinball expo prediction podcast But there's just a few things I want to talk about some things that are developing"

"So you're going to pinball expo. Right. All right. So 2004 Gene cutting him. he does not he's you know, pretty popular. You know, I mean, people know him. You know, he sells. He's been selling, you know, Williams parts and that and Capcom parts for you know, almost four or five years. Right. He sits down and because everybody always wants to hear what he's going to make next."

"And he sits down and he says, I just want to tell everybody, I'm going to make big bang bar. And the room got real quiet. I was there. And everybody was like bullshit."

"This ain't going to happen. All right. No, the enthusiast or any of the primary sellers, a lot of the distributors, because this was not marketed for purposes of a commercial pin. It was for collectors and nobody believed him."

"I started going to events and I started going you know I went to the last specific pinball expo And it was the first time being in a space with hundreds of machines on free play and I kind of freaked out That was probably the turning point I got hooked"

"Now I was first introduced to Game of Thrones, LE, at Pinball Expo 2015 when they unveiled it. I didn't get to really play it. I didn't play it at all."

"It's gonna be a really tough time and all I want to do is go to Pinball Expo, hang out with my friends, hang out with my fans, and I've been told, I've been told that I'm not allowed to go to the pinball media mixer."

"There is a pinball media mixer at Expo this year, which I was thinking of attending. I'll tell you why I was thinking of attending this. My really good friend Angela, she was one of my best friends, my boss, she passed away at 35. I'm gonna be in LA at her parents' house the weekend before."

"You're doing a gathering of pinball media. I just want to set the record straight because Colin doesn't understand this. I've dedicated 10 years of my life, 10 years of my freaking life, Colin, more than you've ever dedicated to pinball media with the Connecticut."

"We have tried to get the kids out before pinball expo but unfortunately we won't make it. We are very busy finalizing everything to make it happen and of course we also had some extremely busy weeks preparing the big Lebowski prototypes for expo."

"Do you understand the insult it is? If you're going to do a pinball media mixer, celebrating those who make pinball content at pinball expo, and then you're going to ban me from attending said gathering, and then you won't answer the phone when I call you about why I'm not allowed to go."

"So enjoy your pinball expo party without me. 30 days. I'm going to get these freaking stickers off the bottom of these trophies, but there's a reason why I have these trophies."

"There is a gathering of pinball media people, and I've been told that my presence is not welcome there. Nobody's made more pinball media than me."

"So he's shown first in Europe and then it's going to make its way to pinball expo in Chicago and so the world is anxiously awaiting the reveal of the big Lebowski and to see to see just what Dutch pinball does with this theme."
