california extreme pinball, santa clara in july

[mudfud]

here's the email I received, if anyone's interested.

if we could get a pachitalk group to go, that would be fun.

I am about 1 hour from santa clara, if people want to camp at my place and check out chewy's pachinko-ya north ( in berkeley ), or south ( in salinas )

ttc and I had a fun time last year! I am going to email them, again, and ask if they would have a small section of pachinkos. they have not wanted us in the past

We are very pleased to officially announce the dates for this year's California Extreme Show. It will be held on July 17-18, 2010 at the same fantastic location - the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, California (santaclara.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp).

We are working on this year’s lineup of seminars, guest speakers, and other arcade-themed events that make the show so much fun each year. On that note, we are looking to you, the arcade community, for suggestions for topics and speakers. Is there something you would like to see presented (or even to present yourself)? This is your chance to let us know what you would like to see! Send us an e-mail at info@caextreme.org and let us know. We welcome all suggestions and will consider each one carefully.

The Hyatt is giving us the same killer room rate for the show ($84.00) and we encourage you to take advantage of this reduced rate on one of their very nice four-star rooms. The show will be in the hotel, so you’ll be just a few steps away from all the action! Free parking, 25% off food in the Lobby Lounge and the Tresca restaurant, and discounted $32 tickets to Great America (limit 2 tickets per room) are also included in this rate which is good for several days before and after the show. We will be open until 2am on Saturday night, so plan accordingly. You might also stay on Sunday night so you don’t need to check out before the show finishes and enjoy a nice Monday at Great America. The Hyatt is located close to San Jose airport which will make it easy to get to your rooms. You can get more information on room bookings at Hotel Info | California Extreme.

Start making your plans, requesting time off work, making reservations by planes, trains, automobiles, and especially trucks to come out and join us for another crazy, arcade-filled weekend!

And be sure to let us know if you're interested in bringing games and/or volunteering to help us out by contacting us at info@caextreme.org. Both are most welcome (and can possibly be worth free admission and/or other goodies!).

Thanks to all of our previous exhibitors and volunteers. We hope we can count on you again, and if you've never brought games or volunteered before, why not give it a try this year? You'll have a great time!
