Pacific Pinball Expo - Let the fun begin.....
« on: September 10, 2011, 07:22:36 PM »
Hi all

Starting this thread tonight as I may not get time between now and Wednesday.
This will be the official Rainman( Wotto ) and Butterbean( Tony T ) thread for our US trip to The Pacific Pinball Expo.

Tony and I plan to do our best to post as much info and as many images as time allows us to on the trip for your enjoyment.
Our itinerary is ......

Depart Wed 14th Sydney to LA.
Arrive Wed 14th in LA  - early AM

Wed afternoon -  we have a 'special' pinball private event that has been made available to us - I cant say a lot BUT if we are allowed to take pics and discuss it I will.
Thursday  - Saturday = Knottsberry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain
Sunday = Day in LA / Hollywood.
Monday to Vegas for 3 nights - PHOF and other pinball related adventures at The Riviera Casino
Thursday - drive to San Rafael for Pacific Pinball Expo - will be there all of Friday and Satrday and half of Sunday - it is open 10am to midnight  ^^^
Sunday  - 10pm flight out of LAX.

Tony has graciously secured us tickets to the Thursday night pre-opening party - NOT open to the general public  #*#
I will do me best to report back any info about WoZ as Pinball Jack has a 1.5 hour seminar on the Friday at PPE which we will attend.

We are attempting to cram in a whole lot of stuff on what should be a very busy and fun trip, we have tickets to shows in Vegas, we will try and get into SFO city and enjoy all the tourist trappings.

Look forward to entertaining you all  ()

Well boys - we are here - landed around 5am Sydney time.

Here we are leaving Sydney - see if you can pick which of us is the 'unhappy flyer'



These big bastards kept us up in the air - they are the size of a fricking bus .....( A380 )



I watched movies and tried to sleep , Tony found 2 pinball machine games on the screen and was hooked....




Not long after landing we jumped in our Chevy Impala and were on part of this road systm - the roads here are just FANTASTIC.



racefan - I went to take a pic of a BEUATIFUL Mustang and then it was gone by the time I got the camera  ^.^
Nick - we are about to leave to visit that 'special place' in 10 minutes  #@# && #@#
