This meet-up we met and Marshall & Caitlin's new business location in Milton, Florida. They had their pins and arcades set on free play and we had a great time in fellowship and play and enjoyed some awesome subs that were also provided by our hosts for this event.
They did too much, so definitely reach our to them with your appreciation!
For pins. we played Johnny Mnemonic, No Fear, Big Guns, Junk Yard, Demolition Man and The Getaway II. For arcades, Centipede, Galaga and Pacman Jr. What a fun collection!
First time I've ever played a PacMan Junior!
We had a good turnout. Some new faces and some existing friends.
Demolition Man and Getaway II stayed busy the entire day!
Caitlin and Marshall hooked us up with an epic spread of subs and other goodies.
We've been talking about formalizing competition play around pinball. This meetup we gave league play a first attempt. Originally, we thought this bracket would last out through a couple of meetups but as we started playing through, we just kept playing through the next round and completed a full bracket! It was really fun! The results are below.

We may (or may not?) change things up next league-play event. Just throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. (Or is that throwing a ball onto a playfield to see what it hits?)
At any rate, our August Meet-up was another hit, we really appreciate the hard work that Caitlin and Marshall put into getting their pins and games setup for us to check out and enjoy. Also, keep in mind they are thinking about offering this location for rent for parties and such, in the future. It is really a great space and a terrific location! Details on that are still forming but reach out to them with inquiries!
We are still working on plans for a September meetup or a possible roadtrip in the next couple of months.. As always, send in your suggestions and ideas!
