BASH Pinball Podcast

Summary

Matt's Pinfest debut: thousands of players, old machines, long lines, greasy buttons, and Spooky as the only manufacturer present.

Matt recounts his first visit to Pinfest in Allentown, Pennsylvania, a large pinball convention held at a fairgrounds alongside a farmer's market. He discusses the venue logistics, attendee demographics, game selection (mostly older EM machines and some newer titles), sanitation concerns, vendor presence (notably Spooky Pinball as the only manufacturer booth), and tournament structure. Part one focuses on the event experience; part two will cover specific game impressions.
