Casey is currently running his weekly events at Moms and crabtowne - https://www.ufcponline.com/

Solace Brewing in dulles is starting a weekly league starting april 11

Wick is running a series of events between the Mustang Sally Brewing and Carpool locations over the coming weeks.

Date Location
Thursday March 25th Carpool Bar
Saturday March 27th Mustang Sally
Thursday April 8th Carpool Bar
Thursday April 15th Mustang Sally
Saturday April 24th Mustang Sally
Thursday April 29th Carpool Bar
Finals TBD

Mustang Sally has recently boosted the games on site to 12-13 games if i recall.

There will be more locations returning soon as well.

Most location pinball in the area (where there is more than the single game out there) is operated by people from the hobby so game conditions tend to be on the better side for location pinball.

Thx... most of us in the area don't use pinside for locating games.. I don't think the ops use that regularly. Most keep pinmap up to date (and the fspa twitter tweets about local changes too)

Pins are back at Ocelet Brewing in Dulles, VA!

Currently sporting...

Twilight Zone
Guns n Roses Standard
Led Zep Pro
Avengers Infinity Quest Pro
Stranger Things Pro (w/ UV kit!)
Star Wars Comic Edition Pro
AC/DC Premium
Monster Bash SE
Centaur II
Super Mario Bros

FSPA leagues are starting up again in the coming weeks... first to announce is the league at Mom's in college park

http://fspazone.org/2021/05/17/the-return-of-fspa-league-at-moms-college-park/

Mom's Organic has posted dates for summer league
Ocelot Brewing has posted dates for summer league
Lost Rhino Brewing dates should be ready really soon now...

Oh and if you want to be one of the first to play Stern's latest, The Mandalorian... keep an eye on the FSPA feeds.. you'll see when it hits and I bet you'll find it way sooner than you think! https://www.facebook.com/fspazone https://twitter.com/fspapinball

Centaur II is repaired at Ocelot as of last weekend I think it was... Mario is up as well.

And joining the line just today... HOTWHEELS!

First one on location in the area I am aware of?

Also, Mandalorian will be here VERY VERY soon

League starts up on Monday night as well if anyone is interested! https://fspazone.org

Crabtowne be slacking

We put up 300+ day one. Then a good player came in and put 600+ in on his first visit.

A good run of the right mode, plus mb, plus a multipler stack will blow this game up. I got 150m in midhorn alone one game.

Wonder if Scott sill buy mando yet for Moms so we can have total area coverage for the game

You can’t claim him local

Not the reason. It’s more about ‘my stuff verse their stuff’ and who is responsible for upkeep etc.

Unfortunately that Godzilla has had multiple problems right out of the box and hasn’t gotten to a good baseline yet.

Missed out on playing Godzilla premium at expo?

Good news…. The king of monsters is coming to the DMV… verrry soon

This just in… super jackpot!

Yes Godzilla pro AND premium at ocelot brewing!

Come checkout the editions side by side for a limited time!

Come to Ocelot in Sterling... Godzilla Premium!

Stranger Things with UV kit too

One has to acknowledge that Mom's .50c pricing is an anomaly and not to be expected elsewhere.

Looking forward to setting up Rush soon too

Should be less than 45mins unless you can't get to 270 quickly.

As we all know in the area... everything is 20+min and you can get anywhere in about an hour

Scott (owner of Moms) is gonna do his thing regardless

Game condition will vary, but is well above 'random route' spot. Obviously anytime you have that many games in one spot, it's both a blessing and a curse. Curse that its so difficult to keep everything tip top at once, a blessing that if something is down you can just find something else to play

Well.. think about that when Rush drops soon

Ocelot brewing just added insider connected to its avenger premium! Come get those verified achievements….

Now with Godzilla premium, guardians, and avengers infinity quest premium all insider connected in addition to the 11 other games… and Rush should be here later in the week.

Mustang sally brewing in chantily is having their informal week 0 for league AND unboxing Rush tonight! Go check it out

You have no idea how much of a throwback that post is to me... last time I saw a pinball in lexington park was like 1983

Great to hear! I grew up there but moved away after college and my parents just finally moved away a couple years ago after 50+ years down there. So I'm familiar with dealing with being at the edge of the earth

Rush pro landed at ocelot! Insider connected and rocking!FAF724AD-4FC0-494D-847B-7EAF039C7099 (resized).jpeg

Drive to college park

Womens tournament at ocelot tomorrow too…

https://facebook.com/events/s/ocelot-womens-winter-pinball-t/329925045813076/

You can see the list on pinballmap

https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15512

Added so much lately it probably slipped through.

Flintstones
AFMr
Toy Story LE
jP premium

All added in the last few weeks

and without any frame of reference no one knows if the problem is the observer or the accused

Just remember.. some people in this hobby think just shaking a machine is cheating or abuse. So I don't blindly take anyone's frame of reference for granted.

I didn't pretend anything - I didn't say it didn't happen. I was trying to get an idea of what he was referring to. Was he talking about swearing, self-deprecating or judo kicks? Like I said.. what's the frame of reference so we can understand what ambiguous behavior he was referring to.

You mean the rules that don't apply to the top players? gotcha

All would have been great references to what he was referring to.. but instead we got...

yup - just be there before start time.

Mustang Sally Friday nights were like.. 7:30 to like.. 1030ish? IIRC.. Will vary depending on how many people show, any tweaks they do, etc.

IMG_5297 (resized).jpeg

Yup... supposedly the movers will be hauling the games away Tuesday.

No the games aren't up for sale...

No there is no exact plan yet on if and where another location may appear.

This is incredibly positive spin... I don't blame Knapp - he's just reporting from afar. But those actually in the trenches report that the outcome here isn't that rosey.

Some of the spots he is looking at are doomed to fail.. or temporary at best.. and he doesn't seem commited in floating a full fledged operation on its own.

Basically stuff is going into storage until some alternative is formed up and while this closure has been in the works for months, no such 'next stop' has been closed on since he made the decision to give the space back to the landlord. This has been known for sometime, just kept close to the chest as the owner had not made any real public statements about it. Eventually this move date popped up unexpected and it disrupted league schedule... so then the dominos started to fall.

The good news is the owner hasn't looked to liquidate at this point, but he also doesn't seem as interested in pinball these days as he used to be when he started VUk, and then went onto to add this pinball room. So pitches like "open a new pinball spot.." or "take over that spot..." etc haven't really carried much. Options like "take over this bar's rental room.." or "put in this temporary space until..." have been more the common conversations.

Scott obviously has resources and is his own successful person... so we'll see what he eventually ends up doing.

Those interested in discussing the current Mom's situation with others 'in the know' and other players... you can join our local pinball discord which has got people from all over the DMV active all day.

https://discord.gg/gTgkWcMg52

Note - this is not an anonymous server. Users are expected to be identifible by name or IFPA numbers. We play in person, we interact in person.. so we keep the same expectation in our discord. Feel free to check it out

Yup! And there should be some exciting news soon!

Your quarters don’t get happy hour discounts on pinball … but your Ocelot game cards do

Still open… no specific date yet on when it will close right now (but it will). Much to do with the landlord and next tenants…

Better news for arcade lovers...

https://merriweatherdistrict.com/vendors/gameon-bar-arcade/

Something is in the water….

IMG_5938 (resized).jpegIMG_5939 (resized).jpeg

Now at Ocelot Brewing… 4-7 happy hour pricing on games too

It's less common these days with prices through the roof... but pinballmap.com is your friend... not hard to locate games to try.. and for a few hundred $ a month you can play A LOT on location

The space was leased by Moms from the landlord as part of a special deal... now the landlord has a new doctor's office tenant lined up for the space, so the Mom's special deal was ended. That's why the space was going away. No one 'bought out the space', etc.. its still just businesses leasing from the shopping center owner.

The timelines have kept sliding in part because the arrangements for the new tenant keep sliding. Once he stopped his initial moving plans, everything has changed to a 'waiting for the new timeline from the landlord' kind of phase.

It's not been a question of if the new tenant is happening, but been more of a question of when the things line up and Mom's needs to be out.

We use a card system. The cards are free.

With the card system you get the ability to pay with cash or credit. You never have to worry about losing money in a coin mech… you can get bonus credits and we run happy hour pricing specials mon-thurs 4-7pm

The modern games are $1/play but i hope you will find them on par with any home collection game you will play - no route junkers here.

We have all the latest sterns in premium trim and have the latest titles you can’t find elsewhere like Labyrinth, pulp fiction, scooby doo and more.

We just setup Jaws Premium today and have more suprises coming VERY soon.

We have classics as well, such as eight ball deluxe, fish tales and more. Older games are cheaper to play too.

I hope you’ll give us a try!

Dun num…

Threatening all swimmer at Ocelot Beach!

Oh and this has some additiona people may want to try

Will just have to come back

Yeah unfortunately swtup was a bit long today due to some extended testing and tweaking i was doing before putting it out.

It’s March Madness at Ocelot Brewing!

IMG_6260 (resized).jpeg

Another New Arrival!

Ft still there. Pinball Map and pinside pinmap are both updated as soon as we put games on the floor. You should have pretty good confidence on their accuracy when you pull them up.
