Played in a pinball tournament last week at Volition Brewing in North Bend, WA, where they cleverly used their Stern Army banner as a sun shield. I qualified first of 14 in a best-game format, including setting the top score on SW:FOTE, but landed 5th after the amazing race finals.

Drove through the Cascades last week on a family vacation, stopped for lunch at this picturesque shack

Butter Ballers captain Courtney asked me to transport our trophy to the Pinball NYC end of season party Monday, so I snagged it from its place of honor at Buttermilk Bar last night

A few weeks ago we noticed a pair of stickers on the underside of the toilet seat in a bathroom at Buttermilk Bar. They appear to spell “BCF” which coincidentally are the pinball initials of my NYC Pin Pod co-host Benjamin. He said he would add some of our podcast stickers to the seat…

South Slope Pinball League had its finals last night. I had missed a few weeks and didn’t qualify—but a couple people couldn’t make it and I got bumped up to the last slot in B. My incredible week of pinball rolled on and I finished in 3rd!

Just had my best night of league ever. Wow this week #streak #pinball

My Tuesday teammate, Sonny, is also a captain of a Monday team that also won their division, so we did a Winning Captains photo shoot, hee hee!

My Tuesday team, Butter Ballers, are champions of Pinball NYC’s Right Inlane division for season 29!! Last night we played the Trolls (in their first ever championship match) to an 8-8 tie, then took the win on a 1-2-3 game of Jurassic Park. That’s three straight seasons for we Butter Ballers!
