It goes without saying (but I’m going to say it anyway) that tonight is going to be a very exciting league night. It’s our final night of the season, and the points accrued by the end of this meeting will determine final standings. There will be one more league night, but it will be our post-season,…

League Night Recap for 11/18/14
Season 3 is in the final stretch, as Tuesday was meeting 7 of 8. Due to snow out west, the GR crowd did not make it out and will be doing a makeup session in the coming week. Russell also did not return (no word on whether it was due to yoga this time) and…

Happy Birthday to Us!
The Lansing Pinball League began on October 26, 2013, so we are now a year old! Thank you to organizer Matt Pries and the rest of the Capital City pinball crew for a year’s worth of good times. (My own anniversary with the league is a little bit later as I joined during the third meeting.)

League Night Recap for 10/21/14
Tuesday’s league night, the fifth of Season 3, saw slightly lower attendance than the previous meeting, so we returned to playing four games. Matt had previously randomly selected Junk Yard, Getaway, Addams Family, and Monster Bash to be the night’s games. The best laid schemes of mice and Matt go oft awry, so that is not…
