Chicago Pinball Expo 2011

[greatwichjohn]

I will be attending this year, & have been asked to present a seminar for an hour. There should be some new anouncements hopefully about a few pinball products. I expect to finish all the playfields in for free restoration over the years ( a very costly adventure), & hopefully some new surprises.

I look forward to meeting past or new friends from Australia, & to share a meal & some beers. So say hello, & what your meal/drinking plans are, hopefully I can join you.

OK, there is a secret Pinball Expo which John has been invited to, but no-one over here knows anything about it!

So is it in Sydney like the last one, or Melbourne (pinball capital), or at the new pinball museum near the Gold Coast?

I would say he is referring to the Chicago Expo later on this year

Yes the Chicago Expo October 19 - 23, 2011. I might be open to visiting Australia in 2012. So if there is a big show over my winter January - March 2012, please let me know. I would most likely come for a 2 - 3 week visit.

Well, there are usually a few Aussies at the Chicago Expo - and if there is a pinball expo over here in Australia again, you will certainly know about it on AP.

A Real Australian Pinball Expo - Oxenford Dictionary listing reads
"A ghost, a fairytale, a dream, an aparition, mythical creature, hallucination, 4th dimension theory, the twilight zone"  Da Da Da Da.   Da Da da Da.   

But it would be friggin nice if it does happen in the next 1 to 5 years.  I often spend $20 on the $30 million lotto. I guess ya have to at least hope for it and have a dream.

One day a pinhead somewhere in Australia will hopefully win the Lotto and the worlds best Pinball Expo just might happen and be a real dam good Aussie shin dig.

Someone send Julia Gillard a pinball machine, and she just might start opening and funding pinball arcades all over the country for the poor. It would make more sense than most of their current spendings.

The Julia Gillard pinball machine, the more you play the more you have to pay to cover the carbon.

One coin slot for paying and one for taxing.

Doubt I'll get to the expo, but if I do will look you up,
