Pinball Expo 2024

Just got home from Expo. What a blast!

Spent a lot of time in the tournament room volunteering and playing poorly. Super cool stuff this year for the 40th year of expo.

As always, the homebrew pins are a delight. The standing hugging pin had some crazy shots. 1930s flipperless pins were also a huge highlight, complete with era-appropriate tunes and outfits.

Rob Berk also brought out all five of the Hankin pins which were very cool. Bummer that there were so few produced. Glad to complete my tour of all the Star Wars pins as well.
