So who from outside NSW will be attending?  *%*

It depends on a few planets aligning, but I'm really hoping to be there.

Road Trip!

I'm in.

You can see my car in my avatar - can we take that please?

To my knowledge, Michaels only daughter would currently be about 16-20 years old.
Married?
Pretty rare in this day and age.

Lets keep this thread in the right direction, regardless of who is doing what and who knows who.
At least there is a group of guys who appear to be willing to  have a go at putting something on for all of US.
How good is that. $%$

If theres more to it in the background, so be it, but you know what......the opportunity for a LOT of us to meet up for the first time in one spot with ( hopefully ) a load of decent pins to play, discuss and criticise ( the gameplay not the condition ) and just enjoy and learn stuff has NEVER been presented in this country in such a fashion.

I personally dont expect a lot form ANY first time event ( in any hobby/ industry ) but if this starts and then becomes a yearly event I am sure it could grow into something special which we can all enjoy. I dont really care if there is some type of auction there on Sunday afternoon, I dont care if they have hot chips for sale instead of roast lamb dinners, I wouldnt care if a speech was made and the microphone failed etc etc etc - it should be just a great opportunity to highlight this fading game.

I will be there regardless.

Tony's right.

 all that matter is theres a pinball expo on. we know about it and we will go.

There is another being organised by another Ryan - please note the difference in spelling and please note that the 2 are not linked - in other words there are 2 being organised - this one though being THE major one

They are getting mixed up - 2 Rians.. 1 spelt with an 'I"the other with a 'Y" - the 2 are not linked.
 I clarified this with RIAN this morning on the phone

 I cant stop speculation. I also cannot stop people believing what they want to.
However, i am trying desperately here to stop this thread from going downhill very fast.

Allow me to explain again..

 the 2 people are not the same person.

 RIAN is not a member of ANY forum. I invited him to join this one as it is 100% positive - he seemed genuinely interested.

If this thread continues to go the way it is then  my promise of 100% positivity is going to be untrue.

Keep it straight fellas please?

They appear to be unrelated events.

This thread is for the "Big" Expo organized by Rian Gledson.

Not related to whatever the other meet is.

Jesus Christ - are we on AA?


Totally agree, Tony.
Looking forward to it, will be coming over from Adelaide, with the main reason just to meet up with a lot of you guys.
