    Quoted from Miguel351:

    If you go on Hotwire.com right now, they've got this hotel as a "Hot Rate" deal right now for $133/night.
    It doesn't list the name of the hotel, but they've got a picture that they say is an "official picture of the room" and you just do a Google reverse image search on that image and it comes up as this Holiday Inn Express. Just one of the number of tricks I use to get great prices on these hotel sites and know the actual hotel I'm getting(when they normally don't tell you until after you pay).

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! This worked out well! I appreciate the tip!

    Time to sign up those games folks! We can’t have a show without VIPs like you! Much like last year we have tons of perks for bringing one game to a dozen! Limited edition foil variant posters again, early entry Saturday, meal tickets, free admission, bonus goodies and a invite only party at The Flipper Room later this year where we feed you and all the games are on freeplay! Let’s make it an awesome show!!

    Just signed up some games. We are working to help fill the classics room this year, but we did sneak in Indiana Jones (TPA) for our adventure booth!

    #119 32 days ago

    Signed up as well, this is going to be a great show!

    I thought there was a dedicated thread for people selling stuff at Golden State, but can't seem to find it now. Anyhow...

    I kinda want to just keep growing the collection, that's been my attitude for a while now but think I might actually go in the other direction just slightly. I'm feeling like I don't want to take up too much space at home and have games that are more diverse from one another. Which brings me to some games I plan to bring to GSPF...

    Led Zeppelin premium and Star Wars comic art pro. Feel like I don't need to have two Steve Ritchie games. So I'll either see which one (if any) sells first, or if I get bites on both maybe I'll just get an Elton John in their place. So just throwing that out there for now, if they sell at the festival that's great, if they don't then I'll think about proper Pinside marketplace ads. $6,500 for Star Wars, $7,000 for Led Zeppelin. Both are HOU other than taking them to the show, I've owned them since they were new, neither has any paid credits. LZ has a few mods, Big Ben, speaker lights and upgraded speakers, subwoofer out cable, insider connected, it's in pristine condition. Star Wars has a Millennium Falcon upgrade, pin monk character inserts, and subwoofer out cable, insider connected, it's also in pristine condition. Star Wars will be out on the main floor, Led Zeppelin will be in the tournament room. If anyone is interested I can put some pictures together ahead of time, or just check them out when they're at the show. Let me know if there are any questions.

    Like I said, couldn't find the sale thread, so apologies if this isn't kosher, mods feel free to delete if I'm breaking any rules.

    Welcome to the Jungle!
    You won't get much sleep, but the campground scene takes the show to the next level.
    Bring Tommy Dollars.

    #132 28 days ago

    Thanks. Like I said my first time in the Jungle.
    Okay, I'll bite. What are Tommy Dollars?

    Dollars for betting on camp games. You cover the flippers with the wagers... Like the fan things on the DE Tommy. Blind pinball kid.

    SIGN UP AND VOLUNTEER! -- We cannot make a show happen without the hard work of people like YOU, and this year we are offering MORE perks and rewards for those that go above and beyond!

    1 shift and earn a pass for the day!

    2 shifts or one long shift and you can earn a free weekend pass!

    3 shifts or more and we are going to thank you with the brand new GSPF Fun pack which includes our new embroidered patch, key chain, and a ton of stickers! (plus a weekend pass)

    4 or more shifts and you get a foil variant of this years show poster! (plus previous rewards)

    We have jobs for all skill levels during the show hours but if you don’t like to miss out on the fun we always need help with load-in and set up all day on Thursday as well as early Friday morning ( before the show until 12:30pm). Load-out and break down on Sunday after 5pm is also an enormous help. Some spots say "Approval needed" but don't let that dissuade you if you think you are the right fit, that just means email us before you sign up and one of us will get back to you and go over some details with you. Thank you in advance to everyone that signs up, we cannot make the show happen without the hard work of our amazing volunteers!!
