Cool polo shirt 
I've yet to meet a designer. If I had a choice, I'd like to meet John Trudeau and ask him how he designed GTB Spirit and how he came up with that funky ruleset. He also designed CFTBL - another great title.
Did he tell you any interesting stories ?

Spoke to him for ages about Elvira and how much fun she was to work with on both pinballs, also one thing I did not know was that Dennis had left Bally/Williams just before Scared Stiff was launched , thus missing out on the launch party. But he did have a rare video of the party itself that one of the staff filmed,not many people have seen this and we where very lucky to get to watch it. Also when you look at the Whitewater translight you will notice a truck in the distance, well that is Dennis's own Dodge panel van, which he still owns.
He is now designing custom made doll houses as well as the Whola Nellie project.
I consider myself very lucky, this year it was Dennis, Last year it was Steve Richie and the year before that it was my personal favorite designer John Trudeua all of them where the nicest people you could wish to meet.
We all got a great deal of pleasure from meeting these guys yet they can't seem to see just what interests us so much in a job that they used to have a few years ago. To them it was just a job which they enjoyed doing, to us its a job we would die for. What a weird sensation having people asking you loads of strange questions about the job you once had at a pinball factory.
Hope you guys down under can do something similar when you have your next expo. Its a real buzz to meet one of your favorite pinball designers.
Darren.
