Exhibitor, Bartender, Mystery Solver!

Another year, another Texas Pinball Festival with the Hundts! Year 7 (of Nine) (that's a COVID reference, not a Star Trek one) of pinballing together.

Fred - Velma - Daphne - Shaggy
out there solving pinball mysteries...

Seriously, we could've driven away with THE Mystery Machine.
Alas, good sense prevailed. [sigh]

We did actually solve one case. And this is IMPORTANT! After six years of buying drinks at the bar, we finally figured out how to BYOB and get away with it!

As an exhibitor this year, I brought my Extreme Arcade multicade for play by the masses. Good news: it survived intact! Even better news: the bottom half of the cabinet is completely empty, making it the perfect place to hide a cooler! 🍻

And on a feel good note, there was this guy...

As I walked past late Saturday night, I saw him intensely playing something on my machine that I didn't recognize. Prolly one of the weird ones that the manufacturer puts on there as filler. I asked him about it and he excitedly replied "Is this your machine? I been playing it all day. I love this game! (Zoo Keeper) Nobody else has it."

One man's filler is another man's treasure.
LESSON: Ya never know. 🤷

TPF 2023 in 3D is now behind us. (is that another D?)
