League Night Recap for 10/8/19
October 8 was our penultimate (that means 7th, in case you aren’t counting) league night of the season. Although Polyhymnia is traditionally our ad hoc bank, comprised of all the games we haven’t played yet plus the rest determined by vote, this season Polyhymnia ended up completely filled with as-yet-unplayed games due to the many…

League Night Recap for 9/24/19
The league night of 9/24 – our sixth of the season – marked the return of an old joke. In the Matt era, we – usually Matt, but sometimes Mike – would bring our own lightbulbs to replace the dead ones or empty sockets around the Avenue. It was so dark in the bar in…

League Night Recap for 9/10/19
I’ll just give everyone some time to get all the cracks about how OMG EARLY!!11!!!1 this league recap is out of the way. … Ah, Offenbach’s The Tales of Hoffmann. Always worth another listen. Anyway, I’m back with your semi-monthly league update. Our last meeting was the fifth of Season 13, meaning we’re over the…

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 8/13/19
There are no pictures this week (that is, the recap for Season 13, meeting #3), and for a change it’s not because I forgot to take any. No, I have pictures, they’re just inaccessible. This is because the exciting news I got Monday morning, which is that my computer had been stolen from Capitol Macintosh…

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…

Tim and Dan Team Up for Super-Ball XII Victory
Tim and Dan became the new Zen Champions at Super-Ball XII, the league’s traditional post-season split flipper tournament, on May 28. The champs came out of the “loser’s” bracket to defeat the winner’s bracket finalists, Joseph and me, in four straight games. It was a revenge match, since we were the ones who put them…

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…
