We’re some busy 🐝🐝 around here! Just a few weeks after we wrap up our first hosted event in Ohio (OHTEP) we’ll be kicking off our first event in St. Louis.
This get together is super special because it’s going to be a series of firsts: our first open house at our new space, our first local public showing of our new GZ Topper, and our first local pinball competition with 6 machines!
MOTEP ‘23 will run alongside the Macklind Market and will include several vendors from the St. Louis area and a few food trucks as well. We’ll have some beer, water, and sodas available but people are encouraged to BYOB!
Here’s the details!
Who
