Intro for this dvd filmed at Old Sled Works:  Fun house mechanical skeleton from ?  Email Pingeek if you know where it came from.  

Bob Herbison, one of the Texas show organizers, demonstrates some rare pins, including Flying Turns, Hawaiian Beauty, and many others!

Bonebusters, complete with that mocking "Bonehead" topper.

 

Craig Hassell, the guy behind the Texas Pinball Festival and owner of Hassell Castle Pinball  Amusements, working on setup until after midnight.

Texas Steven tilts his Close Encounters pin.

Eric Sanchez, KISS' #1 fan.

 

John Buras, former Gottlieb designer, having fun.

John Osborne was hanging out reminiscing about his days at Gottlieb, and I was rolling the tape!  

Every Pingeek dvd now includes a background show pic, taken by Pingeek, and animated chapter menus!

If you can stomach it, Pingeek and other brave souls try disastrous attempts at Karaoke.  Kids, don't try this at home.

 

This dvd begins with coverage on Thursday's set up day, which is not open to the public.  Friday through Sunday coverage as well, right up to the end of the show.  See pins of all kinds in action, many with interviews from the owners themselves.  From Big Deal to Flying Circus, there's something for everyone! Pingeek kept the camera rolling right through the drawing for Tales From The Crypt, the giveaway pin.  Also featured is exclusive footage of John Osborne reminiscing about his days with Gottlieb, in other words the lobby interview, and of course the seminars. See Karaoke highlights and the costume contest, on the rare time this show took place on Halloween.  But there's plenty of pinball, and interviews many of the owners!  See Nascar and Sopranos, played fresh out of the box!  "Where's the freakin' money?"  Did I mention you'll see John Osborne and John Buras in the gameroom, checking out a few pins and playing some?  There's even a Zaccaria pin, Devil Riders demonstrated, courtesy of Dallas Arcade.  You don't see these in action every day.

Pins you will see include:  Flying Turns, Universe, Flipper Fair, Daisy May, Sluggin' Champ, Hawaiian Beauty, Niagara, Grand Slam, Road Show, Campus Queen, Comet, Disco Fever, Alley Cats (shuffle alley), Slick Chick (played by John Osborne), Close Encounters, Bonebusters, Black Knight, Spectrum, Spy Hunter, Back To The Future, Big Guns, Vector, Shaq Attack, Big Game, Mayfair, Gin, Lectronamo, Ali, Dolly Parton, Big Deal, Devil Riders, Flight 2000, South Park, Starship Troopers, Harley Davidson, Elvis, Sopranos, Simpsons Pinball Party, Roller Coaster Tycoon 

I call this The Pinball Show, because it truly shows a pinball show from start to finish, with humor, tech tips, pins of all kinds in action, crazed fans, and my gosh, if this isn't reason enough, buy it just to see the evil fun house skeleton.  (Fun house skeleton courtesy of Jimmy Rosen's Penny Arcade/Old Sled Works.)
