League Night Recap for 4/23/19
April 23 was the eighth and final night of the regular season for Season 12. As such, it would decide who got that juicy top seed position and who would play A and B. We were on the randomly-chosen bank Calliope, the “adventure” bank, sparing us another night of South Park. The night stands out…

League Night Recap for 4/9/19
April 9th was the seventh league night of the season and, as we have only six banks, I randomly drew from among the sixth to see which one we would be repeating. The answer was Clio, the “Cartoons” bank, which includes The Addams Family, Deadpool, Iron Man, The Simpsons Pinball Party, and South Park. Yes,…

League Night Recap for 3/26/19
It was an exciting week-plus for the league as we had League Night #6 on 3/26 followed by March Hare Madness, the Stephen T. Kendrick Memorial Pinball Tournament, on 4/2. (More on that second one in another post, I hope.) We would be playing Polyhymnia, the bank created to account for the fact that Munsters…

League Night Recap for 3/12/19
The league night of March 12 was our fifth of the season, meaning that Season 12 is officially over the hill. Time to go buy some black balloons from Party City. It was also a surprisingly short night, finishing by 9:30, despite high attendance. We played bank Calliope, themed to “adventure” (yes, it’s a vague…

League Night Recap for 2/26/19
It’s almost time for another league meeting and that means time for me to finally post the recap for the last one. Our fourth meeting of Season 12 was the largest in recent memory, with 18 participants. (And that’s not even counting Danny, who showed up late and played his games by himself.) Despite this,…

League Night Recap for 1/22
Our bank for the night was Clio, themed to “cartoons” but named for the Muse of History. I pronounced the name “clee-O,” causing Mike to haughtily correct me, “It’s pronounced Clio” (with an “i” as in “eye”). Oblivious, I launched into Professor Voice and said “that’s also an accepted pronunciation, but it can be pronounced…

League Night Recap for 1/8/19
Super-Ball XI in November finished with Mike and Bryan beating Joseph and me in an epic six-game finale that finished after last call, then the league took a break for the holidays. We started up again on January 8, the opening night of Season XII. There were a few changes this season. First, my work…

League Night Recap for 10/23/18
So it turns out that I only took two (2) pictures during our league night of 10/23 (actually both of the Smackdown winners), which was also the final night of regular play for season 11. I think my mind was really elsewhere because I was a bit worn out from preparing for the Fear and…

League Night Recap for 10/9/18
Our penultimate meeting of the regular season happened on October 9. We were all surprised not to see Lupe and Caleb. Just as league was starting I got a worried message from Lupe: she had misunderstood and thought league night was the following week, and would not be able to make it on short notice.…

League Night Recap for 9/25/18
September 25 was the sixth meeting of Season 11 (out of eight) so we are starting to head into the endgame. Unsurprisingly, this has some members starting to pay close attention to the current standings. The day of league, I found a message on Facebook from Chris, who (understandably) misunderstood what was actually a spreadsheet…
