Here's a commercial for the show:

I'm in it at about 3:00 when the guy says "exceptional people." Last year it was mostly pinball machines but this year it's much bigger and there will be tons of arcade as well. I'll be there again selling my usual crap.

Hey Toby, that sounds pretty cool. It seems a little spendy for vendors though. Are there many people that sell video game stuff there? It looks like it gets a lot of people so I'm sure that's why the booths are so much, but the website doesn't really advertise that they have that kind of stuff there. The single day for $100 bucks doesn't seem bad, but I'm assuming you have to bring your own tables at that price?

I was really looking forward to jet city retro, but since that isn't happening maybe this would be a good alternative. As long as you don't mind a little friendly competition.:)

Last year it wasn't that great sales-wise because it was mostly pinball people there. I think it will be better this year since it's 50% arcade games. Last year there were 2 vendors, me and a guy selling pinball parts. Not sure who is a vendor this year. I wouldn't mind at all if you were a vendor.

Glad to see this show coming back, I was very impressed with the attendance and exhibits last year!

This will be a great show. When I left California, I thought I would not have another great pinball show to go to. Between this, PAX, and our own show, The Northwest is a great place to be for video games!

This year is supposed to be 2X the size!

Just some updated info. The booths do include tables, chairs and electricity. If you need any more info please feel free to call me when you have time. I think the video game stuff will be very popular this year as we have grown that side of the show. Also, with Walter Day coming out, Todd Rogers posted that he is coming, Steve Wiebe playing some Donkey Kong and DK Jr. Hope you all can make it.

Thanks,
Bret

Ah, so sellers do show up to this event! I guess I'll drop by for a day to check it out.

The show for Saturday was awsome. The Hall of Fame ceremony was great. It was great to see Walter Day and Steve W. It was great to see all the great arcade games and pins in such excellent shape.

I give the show a 10 out of 10.

One of the best things that happened at the show.

I love being able to interact with the characters from one of my favorite films. I talked to Steve Wiebe, Walter Day, Mark Alpiger and Mr. Awesome from "King of Kong". I'm totally exhausted, the show was fantastic. 250+ pinballs and arcade games on free play all weekend! I can't wait until next year.

Sounds like you guys had a good time. I wish I could have made it.

I went to get away from my town for a day or two...It seemed like it happened within all a days time. Anyways I enjoyed it, I know it could of been a lot bigger in space though there were so many machines packed into both rooms that the atmosphere was great. I took some time away from the show to also walk to downtown Seattle for a while. It helps shows like this to be in a big city because after going for my downtown visit I was happy to go back watch the Hall of Fame ceremony with Walter Day. Then I played arcade games and Tommy Pinball....I am a bit of the Who fan.

One of the best arcade cabs that I got see in person was Donkey Kong II....I did not know it even existed.
