Maybe Gary Stern should put in an e-mail that he is visiting Australia
Exactly. The event was not promoted by the organizers. It is not our job to canvas Pinball identities to locate pinball events and encourage them to advertise on a forum.
With this mentality id be surprised if any pinball news would make it to this forum 
Who mentioned anything about pinball identities? Whatever that means anyway. This is the premier pinball forum isn't it? Would have been a good chance to backup that claim.
So in your view, we should have called the organizers, inquired if they have any upcoming events, if the answer is "yes", asked them to advertise on AP so that we can lay claim to being the "Premier Pinball Forum".
Since when does an event that is not promoted define a forum's status ?
This forum does not rely on unorganized events, to function as a thriving community. It is the willingness of the members to share their experience and knowledge on all things pinball. Obviously, you would be better served in another environment.
