From the Newsletter ...

It's nearly time for one of the most exciting pinball shows of the year, the Chicago Pinball Expo! This year promises to be even more exciting for the virtual pinball crowd than ever before. We are proud to announce that our very own Destruk and myself, Noah Fentz, will be conducting a virtual pinball seminar on Thursday, October 21st at 8:00pm. This will be a two-part seminar consisted of a one hour chat, followed by a one hour session in which the audience can bring their laptops and put together their own table!

Big thanks go out to Robert Berk and Mike Pacak, Chairmen of the Chicago Pinball Expo. Visit their site at http://pinballexpo.net for registration, events schedule, and further details.

Hope to see you there!

I'm trying for Saturday, is the autograph signing for pre arranged guests, or can we stop for a while and sign for our fans?

since you are going, anything off the beaten path take a pic of, even if it's a tabletop version. i found a few online that I just may crank out in smaller tabletop sized versions! thanks in advance... otvclap.gif

Will the Expo and the seminars be recorded for DVD or youtube release?
Will you be recording the desktop view from the computer as you demonstrate the use of the program?

I sent an e-mail to one of the Expo chairpersons asking if the Expo is going to be recorded/documented for DVD/Blu-Ray, for those of us who can't go.

If you bring a cabinet to the expo, does it have to be there all four days? I'd be tempted to bring my cabinet to show off some VP action, but can't make it all of the days. Sounds like a good time though.
