PDubs, I'm bummed. I wanted to see the footage of the almost knock out drag out fight you had, because you dared film a pinball machine in a public space! The lame excuses that guy and his cohorts gave you made no sense, and because of how their narrative kept changing, it was a bunch of hooey. The guy knew he had no grounds to stop you from filming and decided to puff out his chest, simply because he didn't want anyone doing it. You were the bigger man and I'm glad it resolved peacefully. Maybe the guy thought he was so super famous and you were just another Paparazzi trying to take a photo of him :) "Guys look! It's Stern employee number 376! Dude, I haven't been this excited since I met Stone Cold Steve Austin!" So have you ever seen the movie, The Last Starfighter? I love that a company was able to remake the canceled videogame tie-in Atari was working on and also give it away for free. It's great to see some fans take the game and make their own designed Last Starfighter cabinets. I've heard the game can be clunky, which is what you experienced, but so great to see a little bit of "what if" on display :) It was great to see the Roadblasters sit down cab there, I've never seen one in person. Also, one of my all time favorite Data East pinball machines was there, Star Trek, with one of the coolest backglass's on a pinball machine. I love the effect where it makes the crew disappear on the transporter pad. Data East knew how to make pinball machines that really concentrated on being fun. I think that's why they were beloved by, not only beginners, but experts alike. Thanks for taking us along on this expo ride! vgv
