LAX is awesome. It's my local show too. Moved from Louisville. Never missed and always bring games. This show is more than pincinnati and that's not a knock because I love that Erik and Jerry focus on pinball. LAX has arcade and console and cosplay and on and on. Corey and Joe put on a great show experience. And Corey can't talk by mid day Saturday lol.

Whayne talked about wanting to do a main bank and a classics bank this coming year. I don't know if that's set in stone or not. He isn't sure how much space we'll have this time. I believe he plans to keep the card format. It seemed to work well except that bottle neck at Ripley's.

That Marriott is nice. BUT, if you don't get the show rate it is very pricey. Last year I stayed at the Best Western and saved a good chunk of change. Still within walking distance or about a 2 minute drive. It's a little older but it's clean and has free breakfast.

Guessing no FNO since they seem to have passed on show support. Hopefully they reach out to KingPin, nice guys and even managed to bring a Pulp Fiction for Pincinatti.

I reached out to spooky a week back outta curiosity (flirting with looney tunes and thought hey, show demo could be a plan). Sounds like they aren't planning on it currently but could change...hope so, they were a great presence last year.

I will be vending again this year (well, just applied, so pending space and approval). Sold a big chunk of my personal retro collection last year, but have some left, and consoles to sell too.

Also will bring a pin. Have Halloween, America's Most Haunted (been there last 2 years), a P3 with Al Lexi and CL, and Stranger Things Premium. Would be open to selling AMH if anyone is interested.
