League Night Recap for 2/11/19
Hello all you pinballers out in Lansing League Land. I hope you’ll forgive me for the brevity of this recap for the league night of 2/11, as I was first under the weather and then had a huge pileup of exam grading, all of which has left me short of time. Last time we played…

League Night Recap for 1/28/20

League Night Recap for 8/24/19
On 8/24, for our fourth night of the season, we played bank Urania, the “stars” bank (named for the Muse of Astronomy; this was an easy one). First, a sob story. I had expected by now that I would be settled in to my new computer, all my data migrated so it looked like home,…

League Night Recap for 6/25/19
Remember our last league night before the July hiatus? Almost two months ago? Yeah, neither do I. Let me check the photos from the night to jog my memory… er, oops? I somehow didn’t take any photos. What the heck? I can’t explain that. But wait! This is what I keep notes for! Let’s see…
