I think the bottom line is that if you want to go then there will be a pinball auction Sunday afternoon whether you like it or not. There is no sign of that changing. Frankly, I don't care either way.
With 100 pins there I suspect it will at times be difficult to get on one, but I suppose that allows more time for talking. It will be interesting to see how many enter the pinball competition, which I guess will be played on machines set aside for that purpose.
