Thought it was time for us Michigander's to have our own spot to discuss Michigan related activities, which could include, well, anything happening within our state.
Even if you're from a surrounding state, please feel free to join in if you have something to contribute.
Weather it's shows, parties, buy/sell/trade, someone needing help with a repair, you get the idea.
I would like to thank a couple of Michigan Pinside friends I've made during the last year, tamoore and Astropin, for helping me out in various aspects. They're good people!
Let's get the party started!
Upcoming 2014 Events:
Tournaments/Leagues:
Rosie O' Grady's-Chesterfield Pinball League
Avoid the winter blues, join the new Rosie O'Grady's-Chesterfield Pinball League for a chance to win $200! Best of all, you don't have to be a 'pinball wizard' to join since this fun event will give out random prizes during league nights. Rosie's will also have $2 PBR and Bud/Bud Light buckets 6 for $12.
The league will accommodate six teams of four members, which will meet on Tuesdays at 7 PM for four weeks. There is only a one time league fee of $5 per person and the games will be set to free play during league nights.
If you are interested in joining, you MUST sign up first by emailing [email protected]
The league Facebook page is facebook.com/rosiespinball
We are hoping to have our first league night on Jan 7th.

The Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids
Starting this month, the Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, MI will be holding monthly pinball tournaments the second Sunday of each month at 5pm. Our first tournament is Sunday, January 12th. Entry fee is $5 and all entry fees are paid out to the top 3 players. Tournament starts at 5pm and will be head to head matches, double elimination with the matches and machines to be chosen at random by computer. If there are 16 or more players we will switch to single elimination. All players will receive IFPA points if you care about that kind of thing.

Pyramid Scheme has 22 machines available for play everyday from 4pm - 2am and all are set to $.50/play (except WoZ which is $.75/play). You can see a list of all the machines here:
