Pagg 2013 pin-a-go go

[SKILL_SHOT]

Once again I am volunteering to help set up a pinball show. This to me is as much fun as the show! I get to meet other pin heads, move around dream machines and once the show starts I walk around with a fat head watching people enjoy themselves and this only adds to my enjoyment. I will be going with a friend I met by pin map on pinside.com We made our initial contact and pincation last year at THE PACIFIC PINBALL MUSEUM.

Some good games on there that I haven't seen in person yet. I've been debating if I'm willing to make the trek up to Dixon from the southern East Bay Area. This just got a lot more tempting for me!

On a sidenote: I read in the Pacific Pinball Museum's newsletter last week that there will be no Pacific Pinball Expo this year as they are concentrating on finding a new home for the museum.

Oh man.....so many pins and there mostley modern. Im kinda pinned out today taking a breather but going back again tomorrow.
First off I messed up my knee unloading the pins my friend brought I knew it was going to be a long day hobbling around on a bumb stick but I made it through and a 12 pack of beer helped and friday night I drank to excess so Imma have to go back just to get pictures for yallz.
1 big building over 100 pins and a smaller one with alot I need to get a final count.

Wow what a pin marathon....it was hotter 90-100 degrees farenhiet in the main rooms it was hard to concentrate and at first I stepped up to 5 machines on that didnt start and then when I found working games they were not leveled or just so weak I didnt want to play, that said i played every TPA table they hed there this included 3 different STTNG's and they were way mnore fun then TPA and not the drain monster its said to be.
I kinda got PINNED OUT the first day and was sore and almost not interested after all that work. Now picture time...as I write this, I am drained to 2% I'll just post pics and answer questions or comments latter and saorry for the blurries.
