We had as much fun as we hope all of you did! 2012’s show was incredible. It was packed from the time we opened the doors and we saw a lot of newcomers. We made some changes we think went really well, including the after party and tournament play.

We want to thank everyone that attended and played in the tournaments, purchased raffle tickets (we donated over $3,000 to the Red Cross!), our seminar speakers and Stern Pinball for the consideration they showed us. We especially want to thank our exhibitors and those that put out the extra cash to purchase the AC/DC and Transformers machines we used. The people who bring their games to the show make it what it is.

Can’t wait ’til next year!
