Texas Pinball Festival

"T.P.F. is amazing. For those of you who haven't gone to T.P.F. It is by far the greatest, I think, pinball expo and show in the world. It's the, the amount of games, the, the awesome people. 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."

"I'm excited to see what they show at T.P.F. I think it's going to be an exciting Texas pinball festival."

"tell me pinball circus is going to be out at TPF and I'm an idiot whatever you want to tell me that's great"

"It's not going to be through Joe Bouss are getting up there Texas pinball Festival And slamming John And showing off Houdini"

"We saw on Texas pinball Festival is going to have Joe Ballsor there showing Houdini and showing the new art package. So it's all going to be different."

"I do think that this is the game that they've said they're going to be bringing to TPF that will be revealed."

"So I guess we'll just have to wait and see it but I think we're going to know by March who knows they may surprise everybody and bring two new games."

"I would not be the least bit surprised if you see a new game revealed at TPF and maybe even something in October possibly who knows."

"They have since decided to go ahead and wait until TPF they're going to bring domino's with completely fleshed out code at that point to TPF and they're going to take orders on the game."

"And she remembered that I bought a spooky sweatshirt at Texas pinball festival and and wore it and I was just like wow like I think that just like is such an In assisted indication of this company and how how genuine they are and they they're they're attention to people and they're like a family"

"And you know, so it was one of the great things about shows like T.P.F and all of these big expos is getting to meet people who you only know online. So right. So I know I'm really glad that we got to chat and meet up in Dallas."

"Blake and I, we met down at Texas pinball Festival in March. I remember I was just sort of lurking around the Spooky area and there you were. The Domino's Machine was just the cabinet was there and you just came up and you're like, hey, are you Kaneda?"

"I mean I wrote an article a long time ago which is the stages of pinball that a lot of people may have read on pinside and then Chris Munson wrote a really nice article which I did a repost our recently that was from an original Texas pinball festival on kind of like where are you in this world?"

"I mean even I've got burnout and that's one of the reasons why a lot of people don't stick around in the hobby right so they they get so far into it get so close to it up front and then they well they're they're over their head technically and they're really so my god my house is full pinball machines that don't work or they you know financially some people over extend themselves because they get the bug real bad."

"this is from Blake and Blake is a graphic designer who is actually doing the artwork for Domino's pinball for spooky and I had the great pleasure of talking with Blake for a while down at Texas pinball festival super cool guy loved hearing about his work on Domino's pinball"

"Every single major pin that I flew all the way down to Texas to play at Texas pinball festival was at Pinfest in allentown, right? And I was really impressed because you could hop on at ghost buzzers I know they're shipping already so there's more pros But it was easier to play Ghostbusters hobbit."

"I was actually really impressed because Every single major pin that I flew all the way down to Texas to play at Texas pinball festival was at Pinfest in allentown, right?"

"And when we saw Rob Zombie a few months ago, everyone said it was the most brutal game. And then when I played it at Texas pinball Festival, it didn't play that way for me at all."

"Now I did notice that when I played Ghostbusters Pro at Texas pinball Festival, that left outlane always seems to sort of sort of roll off that post, that the metal railing and drain pretty frequently."

"I mean last time we saw this pinball machine I saw it at Texas pinball festival It it still needed a lot of work. It just didn't feel like a cohesive game"

"But I was a little surprised that the code wasn't further along to the last time I played it and I played it recently at Texas Pinball Festival. I played it at expo."

"I think what was fun about Texas pinball festival is they have a tournament going on and I actually joined it for the first time and you know those guys are like waiting around for hours and the series business and I was like well how much you know is just a winner get and was like you know it was like decent it was like 2800 bucks if you want and but they kind of like the people who dedicated their time to that like really miss the rest of like the show"

"but they kind of like the people who dedicated their time to that like really miss the rest of like the show and they oh yeah totally a little breaks but not really especially the better you do in the tournament the less time you have to really"

"Yeah Rob Zombie was a lot of fun It's going to be so so so yeah Lebowski is there So this so so like this year is going to be an exciting year for pinball with all these new titles"

"even when you go to the I just came back from the Texas pinball festival Yeah, you have a blast Yeah, it was I mean it was I say it was fun I just want to play pinball what what what what was interesting about I loved it Like I thought that Stern just knocked it out of the park it's so cool like I'm just glad that Stern is doing their thing right"

"The TPS is always a great show. It's the largest in the country now. It's one of the largest and it's always an experience for us because it's our home show and it's the place when we first showed off the P3 a few years ago."

"The show is amazing. It's grown so fast in the last couple of years that I heard they might be growing so bad that they might have to find a new venue in the next few in the upcoming year."

"That's hard to imagine. I know they sold out the rooms early but while that floor is still, I mean, the way they allocate the space is pretty cool because it's such a large place and they pack it with games but you don't feel crowded."

"And I really wanted to do this interview after sitting through Jerry Seminar at the Texas Pinball Festival because I really wanted to just hear from him his thoughts on P3 and where it's going to go from here."

"Ghostbusters was played non-stop at Texas pinball Festival, and didn't break down once. There was never any issues. I didn't say anyone complaining about anything that went on with the game in terms of the game flow."

"And I jumped on the Hobbit for a few games that Texas pinball Festival as well. And Jack was there, Jack set up the games."

"I think I've been doing a lot of coverage from the Texas Pinball Festival. I've got a lot of interviews coming for you guys that I'm super, super excited about."

"So having played both of them, and I jumped on the Hobbit for a few games that Texas pinball Festival as well. And Jack was there, Jack set up the games."

"You know how this machine and this silver ball can bring us from all these different states All these different walks of life People are coming from Europe, people are coming from probably Asia, from New Zealand, from Australia People are lugging 250 pound machines across the world, across the country To get to Texas, to the pinball festival there"

"From the pictures I've been seeing, it's all about beer and pinball and pizza So that sort of goes against everything I'm trying to do for Len, but we'll see what happens"

"You know what makes pinball so special that we give up our time, we give up our energy We give up our money, we give up our vacation days to go celebrate his glory"

"they just announced planetary just announced that they won't be they're supposed to unveil their next game at Texas pinball festival next week and they announced this week that they won't be doing that and apparently there's some delay on parts or whatnot I don't know if they were planning on revealing it and actually showing it versus just announcing it"

"When I went to Expo last year all I really wanted to do is just play as much pinball as possible and to be on tons of machines and to experience all the different generations and decades of great pinball machines. I didn't get to play that much and people told me like Expo is more about reveals and seminars and panel discussions and companies talking about their products versus a place to go just play as much pinball as possible."

"So I keep hearing that Texas pinball festival is just the premier pinball festival."

"I think the plan with the apron is going to be to move it around more like the Stanley Cup and have people get to take more photographs with it."

"And the apron of destiny will be making an appearance at the Pinside booth at the Texas pinball festival and we'll have it behind a museum case or something along those lines. So if you want to see the apron of destiny, you can come to the Texas pinball festival and check it out at the Pinside booth."

"I mean, this year's TWIPYs blew last year's away. I mean, it was a lot of work. I mean, the mountain of work that these gentlemen did."

"I'm going to happily play an Oktoberfest on location with my friends and enjoy it and play with one hand and a beer that's the other thing I didn't even realize like where is the one handed play with a beer in your hand mode if you have something like that in a game like Oktoberfest and you have a festival like Texas pinball Festival where everyone is drinking and enjoying and playing games"

"I was actually pretty surprised by how quiet things were after Texas pinball festival. But I guess the Pinside meeting greet was at the same time as the highway seminar, which was crap timing."

"We have this huge focal point, this real-color deadline, but it's a day of excitement for us coming at TPF in March. We're going to have some amazing things. While I don't want to steal the thunder from Rob's pinball expo here, we really hope to see all of you in Texas in March because we want you to see everything we've been working so hard on."

"A little anecdotal story for all of you. I went to T.P.F. I played Lebowski. I loved it. I was going back to the airport. I was outside the hotel, the embassy suites. And there's Mr. George Gomez. And he hops into my cab with me because I invited him to the airport."

"I flew all the way from New York. All of these people have traveled long distances to get here to Texas pinball festival and you're one of the few seminars that everybody wanted to see you had a packed room and you fucking drop the ball."

"He says, how many of you in the room have Wizard of Oz? How many of you in the room would love to get a Wizard of Oz machine and nobody's hand went up? Think about that for a minute. Nobody's hand even inched up and said, I want a Wizard of Oz."

"Maybe people in Dubai and China and Thailand all of a sudden want a Jersey Jack Wizard of Oz, but it sure is hell-ing. People at Texas Pinball Festival, which is rule number one of marketing, is know the audience."
