Hey all!
Here's the latest announcement with regards to CAX 2010 for your posting/enjoyment. We have some hopefully very cool surprises in store and we're already hard at work to make 'em happen so look for more announcements as the dates get closer.
And if you want to bring some games down for the fun, let me know and I'll be more than happy to add them to the ever-growing game list (and make sure you get your discount and/or free pass(es))
.
Make your reservations now if you can and hope to see everyone there in July!

California Extreme, the pinball and classic video arcade games show is gearing up for our 14th annual show. It will be held again at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, California on July 17-18, 2010. The following information is in this e-mail:
• Registration and Hotel Information
• Plans for California Extreme 2010
• Make California Extreme a great show.
• Learn more about California Extreme
• Show website: www.caextreme.org.
Registration and Hotel Information
- Pre-registration is now open (pre-register and get in ½ hour early, get t-shirt discounts, and a cool laminated badge!). There are several ways to pre-register:
- Download the flyer, fill it in, and mail it to us. It is also suggested to download the Pre-Registration Form at the same time and send it with the flyer to save time in line at the show.
- Register on-line and use PayPal to pay for your tickets. Those who register on-line will not have to fill out any paperwork at the show. Just get in line, get your badge and wristband, and away you go!
- Use TicketWeb to register.
Please see the tickets page for more information including changes to the process to speed things up the day of the show. The deadline for pre-registering is July 9th and will not be extended!
- Hotel - 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. Located near the San Jose airport, the show will be in the hotel, and you can enjoy perks like 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). The Hyatt is located close to San Jose airport which will make it easy to get to your rooms.
Register early to ensure you get this great rate! The rate is only good until our room block runs out (after that, they may or may not give you that rate). Also, the hotel did sell out on Saturday last year. You can get more information on the hotel page.
Plans for California Extreme 2010
– Lots of games to play! Last year there were more than 400 games all set on free play, everything from the favorites like PacMan, Asteroids, Twilight Zone, and Funhouse to rarer games that you just don't see everyday like Quantum, Journey, Fathom and Pinball Magic. And don't forget the smattering of "other" games like the unmissable Ringer, Cosmo Gang, Panic Park and Prop Cycle. Every year we also have a huge selection of rare, prototype, and one-of-a-kind games on both sides. Last year's rare pins included Big Bang Bar, Kingpin, Spectrum, and Orbitor 1; last year's videos included Freeze, Akka Arrh, Atari Tank 8, Marble Man (Marble Madness 2), several linked Rush 2049 Tournament Editions, Inferno, and Primal Rage II. See the list of games on the website - please note that this list is only a partial list… many more games than are listed will be at the show!
- Speakers - as always, we'll have a full schedule of speakers on both the pin and video side, including many of the big names behind the biggest games. Look for more speaker announcements and the schedule soon.
- Tournaments – we are working on our tournaments for this year. The pinball will be back - come try your skill against some of pinball's best! Other tournaments will be announced as they are finalized. More details on all the tournaments will be available soon.
- Win prizes! As always, you could win a full-sized pinball or video game in our raffle, in addition to dozens of other prizes.
Make California Extreme a great show
We're planning for our big show, and, we want to get your help! Here are some ways you can help us make this a great show:
- Bring games! We want to make this year's show the best yet, and the best way to do that is to have lots of great games in attendance. A big "thank you" goes out to everyone who has brought games previously and we hope to see you and your games return, but if you haven't brought games previously, why not join the fun and do it this year? Even if you have just 1 game, dust it off and bring it on down to the show for the fun. You will find information about bringing your games to the show (bring a game for admission discounts and early access to the show floor ... bring 3, get in free! - Bring a fourth, get a free t-shirt) by checking our exhibitor page.
- Volunteer – we need people to help us and we will reward you with reduced or even free admission (must be approved in advance). Help is needed on:
- Thursday and Friday (especially Friday PM) – unload and set-up equipment.
- Saturday and Sunday – assist in the registration area and on the show floor.
- Sunday late PM, Monday, and Tuesday – pack up and load out.
