It’s a great weekend for pinball. There is another tournament right after the Hobowen Classic, and the next day is Portland Pinbrawl! Pinbrawl is sold out but you can get on the waiting list.
@Slamtilt you really should come out. Spring is a beautiful time here in Portland and there is so much to do. Let us know if we can help in any way with travel suggestions.
Im hosting an evening BBQ and pin tourney at my place. Here is the facebook page. Please post pictures of tood you will cook. I may be going to buy a Shaq Attack today, which I know is a terrible decision, but you may get to play it at the tourney.
