I would love to go, but going to Chicago is a bit of stretch for me at the moment. It's only a 10 hour drive but I have too much going on now.. If you go have fun! It looks like it will be a blast!

that sounds like fun,but i can't afford to go right now.maybe next year.

I'll be there. This will be my 6th Expo. It's always a lot of fun. I just hope the Stern factory is actually running something while we're there this year. Last year's tour was kind of sad...

What pins seemed to have the most play? Was there a line to play any particular pin?

Well , of course the Avatar and the new Iron Man got a huge amount of plays but so did the other Solid States i.e. : Medevil Madness, 24, SouthPark, Fun House , Atari Hercules ( Biggest Pinball at the Expo ) , CSI, ect .

The EM's had more people than last year playing them as you can see on my videos .

a group of gentlemen are coming out with a Retro EM looking " King Of Diamonds " pin but with latest Solid State Guts for 4 player scoring with Very Quiet Drum scoreing , True Metal Chime ringing , match ball , and such and the price when it will be released will be $3700 + shipping and handling
