Well as the old saying goes all good things must come to an end and thus my run of Pintastic NE 2026 videos end on the final day of April with a pair of videos from Sunday morning.

In the old days of Pintastic I would generally stay till the very last pinball game was packed up and wrapped up and the main hall would usually be open till about twelve with a few paid people coming in to play some games on the cheep.

Not so much these days:

Of course in those days the machines from the extra ball lounge would be moved into the main room for the final day. Now they remain where they are and people go there to play while the woman’s tournament continues on.

But if there is one constant it’s that my interviews close with Gabe D’Annunzio the founder of the Pintastic feast.

This festival is the reason why there are now so many pinball options in the area that it’s no longer necessary to stay till the final game is packed up. A lot of people in New England have a lot of fun together because of this man and I hope folks remember this. I hope folks say a prayer or two for him in gratitude for all the joy he has brought so many.

And that concludes our Pintastic NE 2026 coverage. God willing and new job willing I’ll be back for Pintastic 2027.
