Got outta work early, went to grab ONE beer and play a little pinball. When I got to the pin room, there were people on every machine except for the TOM. I saddled up, put one dollar in and played for almost two hours.
I GC'ed it. Then I GC'ed myself. And then AGAIN! And then some more initials followed that. I probably hit about 12 replays in all. I started to gather a crowd.
I looked at the clock realized that in all my energetic, fast-flippin' fun that two hours had passed. I gave away the remainder of my 8 replays to the other pinheads and walked out a champ.
Pinball just turned a hard long week into a wonderful beginning to my weekend.The rain has returned here to Portland, but I couldn't care less. Pinball is such an awesome release, and I love how you can never know when you're gonna be "completely in the zone" like I was tonight.
Footnote: I am NOT an exceptional player. And this is not common for me to dominate like this, nor am I bragging. I just wanted to share the night I had and hear my fellow pinsider's stories about their moment in arcade glory. Anyone else share some of their "Ahead of the curve" nights?
