We must have walked right past each other, because my buddy and I had the same night. The lightning bolt actually broke during my first game...it was blocking the left outlane for awhile; hopefully it worked its way down.

Last time I was there, over the winter, the pins were filthy and mostly not working. This time, they were all clean and functional. Maybe it has to do with the tournaments. Whatever the reason, it'll keep me coming back. Kudos to the op for getting things up to snuff. The only downside was that none of the pins had audible volume at all, but I suppose that's to be expected.

I swung in to play TF in, say, Jan or so, and the Tron had a layer of black so thick you couldn't read the center inserts. POTC was not that much better. TF was a wreck, too -- a flipper button was broken clean off, Megatron wouldn't lock, the shooter lane was half blocked, etc. The site has definitely seen some love since then, so I hope our conversation gets some people into the place and gives some positive reinforcement. Come back, folks, it's a great location right now.

I was actually there a little later than that last night -- 10-ish. Guess I didn't break it, after all. Forensics for the win. My big surprise of the night was how much I enjoyed Sopranos; of course, that's the one I had the night's big game on, too. Funny how that might skew perceptions.

I was kicking around checking out the tourneys, too. I haven't tried them at BB, either, and I am curious as to what they are like.

And thanks for doing that, mnpinball. I scoped out the db last night to figure out where to go, and it was your update of AC/DC being there that led me to Mort's.
