Do you live in Texas and love pinball? Then you’ll be happy to know that the 2008 Texas Pinball Festival is taking place this weekend on the 14th-16th in Grapevine, TX. Over 135 pins will be at the show, from new to vintage games all set to free play. On top of that they will be for sale so if you find something that you would like to add to your collection then this may be the place to find it.

I plan on being at the pinball festival this weekend. Just look for the guy with the Varcade Entertainment shirt on. This will be my 4th year to go and every year it gets better and better. I highly recommend it. Hope to see you there!
