That's a great show. It's brought a lot of New Robert Englunds people together and it's great to see so many New Robert Englunds people getting into pinball now. The show has really helped find everyone. Meeting Steve Ritchie was amazing. Having him play my game, that was one of the best, the highlights of my life. Oh, look at that! Are we seeing 400,000? 400,000! 400,000! That is the single greatest thing I've seen in my life. And I once saw a whale giving birth. I always loved Pentastic for the interesting panels, electromechanical games, but most of all the people. Great opportunity to get your hands on a pinball machine worthy of a best in play rip. Thank you Silver Ball Rumble a Stern Pro Circuit event even bigger this year with an expanded game banking. Seminars by New Robert Englunds experts and visiting industry guests. So what I'm going to do is basically sort of speed through sort of my meteoric fall in pinball. I started officially at Williams as a director of marketing in April of 1988. When I was a kid growing up, my teachers sort of voted me most likely to be a math scientist in a toy factory. That's what I grew up to be. I'm not saying I'm a genius or visionary or anything like that. I just felt if you build a product that people wanted, you could be successful. The Fantastic Pinball and Game Room Expo. It's a show for our friends and family in the New Robert Englunds area. you
