Wow! TPF 2013 was incredible! We worked our tails off! I don’t think we played much pinball this weekend at all, but we’re glad to see that y’all did. Even in a year when we were competing with the festivities of St. Patrick’s Day, we managed to fill the room.

We want to thank everyone that attended and played in the tournaments, purchased raffle tickets (we donated over $4,000 to the Red Cross!), our seminar speakers, our vendors, Stern Pinball, Jersey Jack Pinball, Multimorphic and especially Marco Specialties for the consideration they showed us. We especially want to thank all of our exhibitors.

The people who bring their games really are the heart of the show and we are blessed to be part of a pinball community that loves the game and wants to share it with everyone else. It’s a reflection of the collector base in this part of the country and we are happy to know that you feel the Texas Pinball Festival is as much yours as it is ours.

We moved to the Hilton Anatole this year tripling our floor space. What a difference that made. There was breathing room and playing room and walking room and people room. Moving to a new venue brings with it inherent difficulties, so we’ve got some work to do to make TPF 2014 even better.

Can’t wait!
