Bowen,

Thanks for doing an AMA and congrats on your win at PAPA16 - it was awesome to watch your fantastic qualifying run in person! Your tutorial videos have helped get me and many of my friends into pinball through their informative and entertaining nature. Will we be seeing any more of those soon? Any chance those might be worked in to PAPA TV?

Thank you for all of the work you do for the pinball community; from the tutorials, to the commentary, to the Pinburgh tournaments! Looking forward to seeing you there!

BAO!

Many mainstay bands were not accepted to come to MAGFest this year. Triforce Quartet and Bit Brigade come to mind. It's disappointing to see that many are not there this year, but I would imagine this is to keep the lineup fresh and interesting. Is that the case, or is there some other reasoning?

Speaking of, it seems that bands have been kept in the dark about being accepted/rejected to the fest until a few weeks before the fest, at least based on my own findings. I would imagine that would make things very difficult for bands to plan around and get their logistics in order to attend. Were there specific reasons around doing this?

I recognize these are probably more serious questions that aren't as fun as some of the others in here, but I hope they are not interpreted as disrespectful. I appreciate your efforts with organizing MAGFest. It's one of the most unique festivals around, and I'm excited to be bringing friends along for the ride this year. I look forward to roaring with you guys in a few weeks time!

Thanks for the reply! I'll be pulling some of the code and see what I can do to add in an automatic notifier for the bands when I have a few seconds. Good luck this year!

Looking forward to seeing some new bands. Thanks for the reply!

PS - the slow drip of announcements is KILLING ME.

DYING.

OMG AM DED UR AN MONSTER.

Awesome! Looking forward to it! Thank you for your reply!
