Hello and welcome back to our continuing coverage of this 35th annual Pinball Expo.
While Wednesday features the kick-off Bumper Blast party, Thursday is the first full day of events and, as in previous years, that begins at 9am when the buses arrive to transport Expo attendees to the Stern Pinball factory tour.
