Pinball Expo 2008?


Recommended Posts

Just curious how many of the pin enthusists here plan on making it to Chicago this year for Expo? I haven't been to the new hotel but folks that have say it's much nicer than the past 2 locations (frankly I've been to some well organized auto junkyards that were nicer than the Ramada). And hopefully the electrical issues with not being able to power all the games will finally be a thing of the past.

Westin Chicago North Shore is pretty fancy.

Restaurants around there are supposed to be pricey, but excellent food.

 

If booking in advance, call during their business hours CST, and let them know you are with Pinball Expo.

 

The old site Wyndam was very nice, and this looks to be even nicer.

 

I hope to be there on the Friday, hopefully meet some of the nice people from this forum there. LTG :)

Expo

 

Guys, I am going everything is paid for and finalised. I went last year and it was a blast. This year is in a new location which has plenty around it and the hotel looks much better.

 

Dig deep in to your pockets and travel over as you will have a blast.

Mate,

 

Ive got a header for Gtb 1955 Southern belle that can be delivered to Expo by a good friend of mine. I need to get this back to OZ. Mark if you are serious about a container - any chance of putting the head in there for me at all?

One great thing about Expo is doing the Stern factory tour and meeting some of the key players in the industry. Makes it all the more worthwhile.

 

this part I am looking forward too

be happy to see pinball machines getting made
