Pinball Wizards convention (Allentown Spring show) appears to be no more...

I just got this e-mail:

Dear Mike,
We hope that you had a great summer. As you know, this is about the time of year when we start to prepare for the next Pinball Wizards Convention. However, after long and careful consideration, we sadly have to tell you that after 17 great years, there will be no more replays. Game Over. This was not an easy decision to make, as we will definitely miss the excitement of the show and seeing all of you each year. It has been wonderful meeting so many new people who share our love of pinball. A great number of new and lasting friendships have been made over the years.
We would like to thank each and every one of you that has attended, participated and helped out over the past 17 years to make each show a success and a memorable experience. We appreciate the support that you have given us, and we hope to see you again at another show!
Sincerely,
Brian, Denise and Tiffany
Keep Flippin'!

I just want to say - Sorry there won't be anymore, but thanks for some great shows, guys!
 
That sux... I was planning on attending.

I even put off the show last weekend.

Let's hope they do something in Rochester, NY again this year.
 
Anyone have a insight as to why they are killing the show? It seemed always so successful. Kind of an added happiness for going to PinFest since this is gone. It will be gone but not forgotten as a part of my childhood for quite some time.
 
NOOOOOOOOOO....... I got the email as well found it in my Spam folder damn what a shitty day find out that my Paypal was Hijacked now this. On the bright side I found $2 on the ground yesterday...
 
Wow, this is unfortunate. Brian is a good guy, I hope everything is okay with him and the family.

Thank you Brian and everyone involved with this show for the past 17 years. I saw this show grow to what it was last year, and Brian can be damn proud of all he has done. There were many volunteers that helped make this a success.

THANK YOU for 17 great years!

Chris
 
Dear Brian, Denise and Tiffany!

I still am surprised you guys held out for 17 years!! I know its been a real strain on your family. Even though its once a year, you spend some 9 months planning it and it has probably become a constant source of grief. It would be wonderful if the enjoyment of the event would cover over the aggravation!!! It's sad that 5% of the people you contact are -- to put it in civil terms -- so horrible!!!

The great news is that you DID put on a magnificent well run show for thousands of people these past 17 years! That's QUITE a feather in your caps for all three of you!!!

We did have lots of fun and it was neat to see so many games in one place within driving distance of us folks on the Eastern Coast!

Thanks again for all the great memories and the best of luck to your family---you deserve a good rest!!


Sincerely yours,
