I am on the east coast for now and decided to go to the York show. Is anyone else going to be there? I plan to drive up Friday night and be there bright and early on Saturday.
 
I know GuidoTorpedo and Mr Do are going... well, they better be going- they are meeting there and Mr Do is picking up a game for me! :)
 
I just got home from setting up at the show and I will be there the next two days. So far it looked like a great show. I saw a lot of good games there already like Funhouse, Twilight zone, Jurrasic Park.
 
Neo Geo

I smell fear in your voice!
I will pick up your game for you, but I might just bring it home for myself:)
That is, since you have not given me your address!!!
 
I'll be there on Saturday. If I see you, I'll say hey.
 
I will be there Friday with possibly a buddy or two in tow. Most likely I'll have a sweatshirt OR a black space invaders shirt on.
 
I'll be there Saturday. Can't wait, York is a great show!
 
Sucks, but I can't make it either day. Kids activities are conflicting with the show. The kids wanted to go as well, but we have already committed to the other activities. Maybe next year.
 
I'll be there tommorow. To anyone that's already there or setting up, Any signs of a Whirlwind,Taxi,Gameshow,or Checkpoint for sale on the floor?
 
Can anyone that was there today chime in with an update on wether it'd be worth the trip tommorow? The game list on Facebook is pretty lacking with mostly EM's.
 
I know there was a whirlwind but not sure if for sale. Tnt had one but i dont think hes there today.

There was a lot of ems but some good titles too.
 
I was just comparing my pics of last years show to this one... Still had a lot of fun, but there were a lot less newer games this year. EM's were still very well represented.

Was still totally worth the trip, but I hope next year is more like the 2011 show.
 
Can we see pics?

Here you go. Sorry for the lack of good pics. I kinda of forgot to get some pics of everyone there, ran into a bunch of KLOVs mostly from pinball parties in the DC area. I know there was a lot of trading / buying there on Friday when I was there. I ended up going to TimeLine arcade in Hanover, PA on Saturday since it was kinda close. Had a really good weekend overall. Wife commented that the pins were definitely not that good this year in comparison to previous years but still worth admission. Still one of my favorite shows in this area. Here are my lame pics! Enjoy...

Sure... Prepare to be underwhelmed by my choice of subjects. My buddy took a lot more pics, but I didn't grab them from him yet.

Pin selection was underwhelming this year, not much of the good late model Williams stuff represented. Did get to check out Xmen, some pins were in like-new shape (that evil kneivel was unbelievable) and also scored a great deal on a road blasters back in the flea market. I think the trick is to get there early, ask questions and let benny do the talking.
