I don't know if there's anyone else on here in or around the Houston area, but here goes...

First off, it's definitely worth it going to these expos; this makes the 11th year, and I've been to about five of them or something.  It's November 2-3 in Northwest Houston (off 290 and Bingle), with tickets costing $20 per day at the door, or $30 for a weekend pass.  If you prepay now you get $5 off.

So what does that get you?  Access to hundreds of games total: pinball machines (some going back to the 1930s), coin-op games (mostly from the late 70s/80s), various miscellaneous entertainment devices (gambling machines, strength testers and the like), home consoles and computers set on free play.  There's also drawings and door prizes, along with a swap meet beforehand, repair clinics for pinball and the like, etc., etc.

I won't know until the last second if I'll be going or not (usually the way), but again, these are definitely worth it.  I'll definitely do the usual pics, write-up and a video for it if I go, and some of those of last year's show can be seen here (http://vectorgaming.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=miscgaming2&action=display&thread=119).  A few other vids can be seen on my YouTube channel (just click on my profile), along with the 2005 and 2006 shows being covered on The Atari Times (http://www.ataritimes.com/features.php) web site (known as H. A. A. G., or Houston Area Arcade Group).

Wish I lived close enough to check it out. I'll be looking forward to a write-up on it.

I will if I can attend!
