Pinball Expo - 2007
Pinball Expo has been a yearly event in Chicago since the 80s. It's a great collection of games, parts and industry folk who all meet and have a bit of a party - not to mention the shit-load of pinball that is played. I have gone to Expo every year since I moved to Chicago in 1995, and often bring a game or some other rare goodies. In the past I have brought Cirqus (Whitewoods and production games), and Ticket Tac Toe.This year I brought Ticket Tac Toe, which Rush and I had modified to dispense gumballs. It's a home-made modification (hack), which you can read all about here.
I had a lot of fun at Expo this year - even though the guy who runs the show is a total and complete ass. In fact I think it says a lot about my friends that I can have such a good time at a show run by such a complete ass. We all played a lot of pinball, and stayed up way too late, and even had a great dinner and party at Lyman's on Sunday night. Check out the photos...
