I think of Indus in California. Of course, Inbird and Replay FX. I think of the NYPC, Freeplay Florida, Texas Pinball Festival. There are so many great ones. And I have never played pinball in Massachusetts. And I love New Englanders. I think they're great. I mean, those chowder heads, the way they like to deflate their footballs. Oh, I think it's so cute. And the way they talk, it's so funny. I mean, I think Canadians talk funny. Ask them to go pocket-ca at the box. All right? But they have a funny word that I had to look into. It's called hintastic. And it's not a funny word. It's a great game expo. And it's happening June 27th to 30th in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. And I'm going to be there. And I'm looking forward to it. I guess we're going to have a little podcast seminar. but there's so many great things going on. 200 games on free play, tons of amazing tournaments. Kindle, kids' tournaments. They've got the Silver Ball Rumble. They've got the Silver Bell Brawl. All these great tournaments run by people like Jim Swain who do the 24-hour sanctus and the bells and chimes chapters. It's going to be a lot of fun. Oh, and the guests. My goodness, they've got the kids from Willy Wonka there. They've got the big kid and that artist in Christopher Franchi. He'll be there as well, and so many other great people. You should be there. I'm going to be there. I'm looking forward to it. It's June 27th to 30th, Pintastic in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
