Bedford to Glasgow just to play pins! That's what you call dedicated! You should of said Hi to us at the stand, we would of made you a coffee, and perhaps tried to sell you a Scottish Pinball Association mug to drink it from and a T Shirt to go with it.Well, despite saying in the Pinfest thread that this one was too far to travel, I decided at the last minute to make the journey. Bought the tickets at midnight Friday Night, set off from home at 3am Saturday Morning for the 6.5 hour drive. It was great though, got to play on some fantastic tables, and some awesome classic games.
If 12 year old me could have known he'd someday get to play all of those games for two whole days on freeplay, he would have wept with joy
great event. Big thanks to anyone here that donated machines for us to play on.
Haha, it was quite a trek to be sure. Good fun though, and I quite enjoy driving (despite doing it for a living for a number of years in the past) so that's not such a huge chore for me.
I very much enjoyed the video games too.
Already have my Pinfest daventry ticket purchased last week
I may get to Swaveney too, I saw that event posted on pinball news. Both much closer as you say. I may have something else on that weekend though.
I did intend to buy a mug today, but totally forgot about it.doh!
I didn;t introduce myself, simply because I never expected anyone to have the slightest idea who I was, as a 1 post forum member that doesn't even own a table (yet!)
I did actually have the highest score on Roller Coaster Tycoon when I left, I couldn't hand around to the end, but it wasn't a huge score or anything, so I hope I wasn;t actually the winner(and doubt that I was, hehe)
No worries, we'll sell you two next time?I meant to buy a mug also, also forgot...
