Pinball Expo 2008

[Pinball Fixers]

I got the impression from Dave that he wasn't... maybe I was mistaken.

Can't see Greg or Mark - or any of the Aussie contingent. I could be wrong though - Is that David from Bumper at one of the tables ?

That does look a LOT like Dave from Bumper... didn't think he was going this year...

That is definitely Dave 

Wow, look at the size of the "giant" in the 4th photo, I wonder if he gets a sore back from playing pinnies?

Yep, just had it confirmed... David Stein IS at Pinball Expo... Last minute decision from what I have been told.

Am planning my trip to US - maybe next year.

I think though that Allentown would hold more for me considering the genre of machine i tend to collect.
Expo is the biggest, but Allentown is more geared towards the restore/ rare parts and machines market.

Anyone fancy keeping me company and share a container??

Great to hear you guys are having so much fun. I think the Stern tour would be the highlight of the trip for me, and sounds like it didn't disappoint. Keep the news coming. Can't wait to hear all the stories over a coffee soon, Mark..

Mark and Greg should do an expo presentation at childs when they return !!

Greg - Where's your bloody update ?

[ktm450]

Porn and Prawn night!

[pinnies4me]

Thanks for the update.

Did you do the AA post "Saw the one and only pinball factory in the world" ???

I finally had my drink with Mark at Expo.  I found out what you guys already know, he's a great guy and I would enjoy hanging out with him more.  Unfortunately my Liver would probably file for divorce    I spent some time with another great Aussie these last couple of days, Cameron Silver.   The man has my dream job and is just a genuinely nice guy. 

I'm glad you guys started this forum otherwise I would have probably never met these guys and that would have been my loss.

I'll fill you all in on my adventures after I get some sleep and my body expels the remaining whiskey

Great to see some "normal" (?) Aussies are helping restore our reputation over there!

Exactly what I was thinking, Nick.

Chuck - The Aussie Delegation that are attending are definitely the "Good Guys" of the Industry / Hobby in Australia. We are very happy to have Nucore on our Forum and I'm kinda envious that you guys have had such a great time.

Nick - "Normal" = hmmm...

I have not heard of Cameron Silver - Can someone "fill me in" ?
