I checked the current schedules for taking the bus to next week’s NW Pinball & Arcade Show and updated the post. Not much has changed this year so if you’ve done it before you should be good. Youth under 18 now ride for free on Sound Transit and the last bus leaves from Tacoma to downtown Seattle at 10:20pm. Get the full details here: https://www.skill-shot.com/the-bus-to-tacoma-2017/
ONMS is a local record seller that will be at the 8-Bit this week selling a selection of vinyl before and during the weekly tournament. Shopping for records in between rounds of pinball is a neat idea. Does it need to be mentioned that you don’t have to play in the tournament in order to shop? https://www.facebook.com/onmsrecords
Tonight’s format is Match Play, MMP Final – this means the qualifying rounds will be a regular match play tournament with the top players moving into groups of four for the semi-finals/finals. Since the tournament begins at 7 you will want to head over there early in case traffic is bogged down. As always Waterland Arcade is an all ages venue. More info will be found on the NW Pinball & Arcade Show site: http://nwpas.wapinball.net/satellite.html
Jackpot Records has announced the upcoming release of a two-record set: Jackpot Plays PINBALL, Vol. 1 & 2. The records contain pinball music and sounds from games such as Black Knight 2000, Medieval Madness, Attack From Mars and many more – the first time on vinyl. While the records are available individually there’s free shipping if you order both. Check out the Jackpot Records site for more info: https://jackpotrecords.com/pages/jackpot-plays-pinball
