Pinball Origin Stories

Post by ker_pow »

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a good weekend!

I don't know about y'all, but one thing I always like to know more about is what got people into pinball. After chatting with pinballers from around the world last week at Pinburgh, I've decided to start a project of collecting people's pinball origin stories. I'm thinking of turning it into a blog/quarterly magazine type thing and created a brief survey if anyone wanted to participate. I'm starting on a more local level and, depending on how responses shake out, would like to share a little bit further in a few months or so.

If you're interested in telling your story, please feel free to fill out this brief survey. Nothing will be published anywhere without express consent from you, of course, and you'd be welcome to make any edits to what you initially responded before anything moved forward.

I think this will help give newcomers and older players a cool frame of reference and be a fun history of pinball and also the people who love it so much.

The link for that survey is here: https://goo.gl/forms/PkycYfxv3mNo5RNn1

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, also: pinballoriginstories@gmail.com

Have an awesome weekend, and hope to see y'all soon,

I see you did an interview with Jeff Parsons on Pinball Players Podcast. Very cool! Will have to finish listening to the episode but just wanted to bump this up for the locals.
