Last week end, I went to a Pinball/Jukebox/US Cars-Life Style Exhibition at 'Vierzon', a town in the middle of France  :)

I was there under the banner of the french website GAMOOVER.NET, where I'm also staff  ;)

Ok, so here's what happened there  ;)  :arrow:

Friday, the 25th of April 2008 - Day 0

Ready to go :



A long trip to do  :o  8)  :arrow:



I'll get the Galaga with us  8)



I cannot forget to take the key of it  :roll: :arrow:



6 hours later, I'm joining others staff people from Gamoover... time to unload the beast :





Easy when there are a lot of friends to help you  :wink:









Let's prepare the stand :



...and two hours later, all is up & running  ;D





The Galaga is ready too :



...and already Gamoover members are playing on it  :)



Ok, everything is ready for tomorrow morning, for the public opening.

Some of us got an hotel, but others didn't  ;D





Ok, it's friday evening... we must leave the hall, so we decide to eat together on the hall's parking... outside of course ;D  :arrow:





No light on this parking... impossible to see what we're eating  :o :D



For some of us, it's time to sleep at the hotel... Let's bring some friends with us but hey... because the Galaga, we had to remove the back seats... sorry guys  ;D ;D ;D





End of Day 0  8)

Wow, looks like you guys had a great time at that show. Were you guys selling those Pchislo machines? I really liked that Star Wars one! Would love to find one for my collection.
Thanks for sharing the pics and story!

Wow, Man... Looks like you had a great time!!!

Many of us out there would like to have MORE 'Arcade Lifestyle' events in our lives!!  You're soo lucky!!

Yes, there are events like this in the US, but it's usually always in California.  Too far away! (for me)  :'(

Next best thing is sharing in your adventures!!  :D    Keep it up!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D
