December, 2006—This is the Show Me The Shows issue of the Pingame Journal and it’s ALL in color! It starts, though, with Gary Flower remembering pinball designer Steve Kirk who died earlier this year and a report from PGJ European Correspondent Michael Colmer. Then the shows: Pinball Fantasy by Shelly Paule, the Midwest Gaming Classic by Don Caldwell, the massive PAPA 9 tournament by Chris Newsom and a first timer’s detailed look at Pinball Expo by Phoebe Smith. Add to that a report from Trent Augenstein on the 2006 IAAPA show, a holiday pinball poem by Don Horton and the second annual Seasons Greetings from the Big Bang Bar pinup from artist Stan Fukuoka and you really have something! Also don’t miss some holiday wishes from pinball companies past and present on the back cover. It’s all yours in this seasoned issue of the Pingame Journal. Get one!
