I've always said Eris spoke to me through the chaotic motions of pinball machines. That's where you learn that She can be a Most Royal Bitch at times.
So, in the last month we've gotten approval for and are moving pinball machines into a Pinball Museum in Seattle's International District. We open tomorrow, we'd just got approval two weeks before. Chaos never flowed so smoothly...
I promise there will be a Golden Apple somewhere in the place. Or we'll get 20 pinball machines and three pachinko games in there.
Wholly Chao! 'ERE WE GO, 'ERE WE GO, 'ERE WE GO...
Peleus: Would you honor us with your presence?
oh that's fucking cool! What kind of company do you work for? You've gotta show us some pix!
Bad-Ass, the next time I visit Seattle I'll have to check it out.
Do you have the older Dr. Who pinball game? I've invested some serious time in that one.
You should have one of those bowling arcade games too.
Ill visit for sure but only if they sell Jolt cola in glass bottles :)
Or if there's a vintage beattlejuice pinball machine
Peleus: Hee hee hee, you're a funny guy...
There are a couple of old (as in OLD) bowling games we have our eyes on. We're trying to wheedle them away from their owners.
By day, I'm a financials programmer. But away from there... I set fire to trash cans outside Scientology places do an awful lot of networking with the pinball world. This Museum is the result of a group of friends who don't want to see pinball die out. Might be that it will, but who can say?
Do you have Attack from Mars?

We don't have Attack From Mars, but here are nine locations on the West Coast that do:

We had more than 100 people show up for our opening effort. We had 14 pinball tables and 2 pachinko games up and running, including a flipperless Bally table from 1936! Nothing but merry chaos and laughter and smiles. We stayed open an extra 90 minutes because every machine was being played at the original closing time. Kids were brought! It was FUCKING GLORIOUS!
I really love being a Discordian...
:mittens:
:awesome:
Sweet, LaughingOtter! You guys should design and build your own pinball machine. The balls can be little golden apples. :D
