Is Wednesday night a good night to play pinball?
You bet it is. If you live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Wednesday night is the perfect night for pinball. Just head out to Kickback Pinball Cafe in Lawrenceville - sign up by 7pm and play the 3-strike tournament they run with 100% payout to competitors.
What is a 3-strike tournament?
Competitors play head to head battles on a game - and the loser gets a strike. 3 strikes and you're out.
Did you play in the tournament last night?
I sure did. And I had a ton of fun!
Did you win?
Almost. Like - as close as you can get without winning. As in - 2nd place. Congrats to Walt on winning and DJ on coming in third.
Did you get any pictures?
I got pictures. I even got one that isn't blurry! Let's take a look:
First things first - Kickback is a Stern Army location!
You can read what it means to be a member of the Stern Army.
Christmas Came to Kickback!
Kickback put a small tree on their counter - I like it, but I am a sucker for small trees.
A big tree in the window.
And Christmas lights over the entrance!
Even the weather was cooperating last night!
Kickback got a new machine
Guardians of the Galaxy (yeah - the movie) is the latest machine put out by Stern Pinball. I didn't get a chance to play it, but it looks pretty. I hear the code is basic, but I am hopeful that after a few updates the game will be a gem. I love the movies, so I really want this title to succeed. Check out the cabinet art:
I'm Mary Poppins Y'all
The Winner!
And finally - Here's a shot of Walt winning it all! Congrats again Walt - you played lights out last night.
I'm still gonna do a write-up this weekend.
I just felt like sharing the event from last night since it snowed, they decorated and they got a new machine. And - oh yeah, because I was there most of the night. See you soon!
