I know nothing and the 3 local pinball guys I just contacted who aren't internet chat regulars know little. Word is that there's some guys who hang out at the Up North after work playing Pinball, so it must be one/some of them running it?

It's on Tuesday the 17th starting at 5:30, and they have X-Men & BBH. I'll try to stop by if I'm in the area to check it out.

Also, word on the street is that The Avengers at the Crystal Corner Bar is getting a lot of play!

Yeah, I emailed them a couple of times and they didn't respond with any names. I'd go, but I'm busy that Tuesday and getting to Madison by 5:30 would require me taking time off.

Yup, I'm dating myself, but I've got a few pinball buddies that are still stuck in the 80's! Don't bother e-mailing them... the best way to contact 'em is by going down to Happy Hour!!

Nice! So this is an IFPA event at our very own Up North? Good stuff, I'll try to make it. Hopefully we can get some more things like this going on in the area!

Drat! I saw Up North in the post and figured it might have been something in my vicinity (Eagle River).

I sent an email to register. I've also added a thread to the Upcoming Events section. Here's the page for the tourney, I'm hoping more of these spring up in our area!

Pretty fun. Like a regular old night of playing pins with some guys like back int the day when pins used to be in every bar in town...

Only a couple people in attendance. I of course took dead last :D
