I’d be remiss if I didn’t encourage everyone to come to the Pacific Pinball Expo this weekend. If you’re within a hundred-mile radius of the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael, California, you owe it to yourself to be there. And frankly, even if you’re further away than that, you should still mull a visit over in your head for at least a minute or two.

This show is amazing (see photos); last year’s was the first, with over 300 pin games on display, almost all of them playable. This year’s show will have over 400 games, which makes it the biggest pin show I’ve ever heard of by a factor of two.

I’ll be at the show all day on Saturday and almost all of Sunday; if you happen to be there, contact me on Twitter and let’s meet up! And if for some reason you haven’t seen TILT, I’ll be showing it at 3:30 on Sunday, and probably 8pm on Saturday as well.

Hope to see you there. You won’t regret making the effort to come.
