If you could snag anyone to be at the APE 2014 who would it be?
« on: December 10, 2013, 09:19:24 AM »
If you had a magic wand and could get a figure/visionary/celebrity/personality/etc  in the Pins and Vids hobby universe to make an appearance at the 2014 APE who would you want it to be?

Just interested in everyone's thoughts....

Someone who doesn't hold back on how and why they did things.  Most interviews with pinball "personalities" sound like a post-game interview in a pro sport where a player/coach holds back every bit of interesting information for fear their competition would pick up on it or lose their job.

Ritchie fits that bill because he isn't afraid to speak his mind, though I'd imagine he received a good reprimand after recently talking about XM code, so he may be a bit guarded at this point. 

Maybe someone out of the industry with a strong legacy and no reason to be cautious talking about their decisions made, like a Brian Eddy or Eugene Jarvis.

Python Angelo, for shear entertainment value.  Plus, he totally meets the hurdle of saying exactly what he thinks.

Yeah I like the idea of someone who isn't afraid to say what they think and marches to beat of a different drummer.

Always makes for a great panel Q&A.

Without a doubt, first name I'd call for someone to fit that bill would be Jon Norris (from what I know he's had beef with Stern, Trudeau, Tanzer, and others he's worked for and with), the man owned over 70 Gottlieb EMs at one time and has intricate historical knowledge of such, incorporating concepts from them in his rulesets. Norris considers himself a maverick, both of design and rules, was the primary designer at Premier for the better part of 7 years, probably has tons of stories, and most of all is super opinionated, has thoughts on the state of the industry, its history, and everything else and since he's out of pinball, he can say it all. I'd definitely try him if you wanted someone like that.
