League Night Recap for 2/10/15
Last week’s League Night (the third of Season 4) found us at peak attendance. I remember well the days when we played three games every league night; now we usually have to play four to accommodate the number of players. This time, though, the crowd was 18 strong and we had to go up to…

League Night Recap for 1/13/15
After a short break for the holidays, league play resumed with the first meeting of Season 4 on Tuesday. The usual suspects were joined by a couple of new members: Kristen, whom I previously met at the Arcade and Marvin’s Leagues, and Sam, a Grand Rapids League member coaxed over to Lansing by Jake. Russell,…

League Night Preview: 1/13/15
Season 4 of the Lansing Pinball League starts tonight. It’s traditional for any new addition to the Avenue’s games to be included in the next league night, and this time the new addition is Theatre of Magic. ToM was my original favorite pinball game, back in the days before I discovered FunHouse, and it’s still…
