| 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.
