I'm organizing a group that want to go to the silverball arcade for an hour after the Saturday dinner. I've arranged for a 20% discount if we get a group of 10 or more people. We will meet at around 9:15pm on 5/4 after the Saturday dinner. If you are interested, then send me a private email.

Just an hour!? That place is worth 4 at least :-) Fun story, before I made my trek to my first VCF East event I plugged Infoage into Google maps. I zoomed out a bit to look for nearby hotels, and then see this text "Pinball Museum." I play in a pinball league, own four pinball machines at home and some 12 arcade games and have repaired a good number more. I do arcade tourism when I travel. At that point I had not heard of the Silverball Museum. I was totally caught off guard when I saw the text on the map. "What is this?? As a pinball hobbyist for years how does this exist and I not know about it??" I thought. So I made it a point to sneak over there inbetween other festivities. What a surprise! It's a great facility with an awesome lineup and killer environment. Last time I was there they had a Cactus Canyon but it has a mod on it where it kicks off with Aliens versus Cowboys (Attack from Mars aliens) and it plays Skrillex "Bangarang." That surprised me. Over the summer I went to Florida to visit friends/family and get some SCUBA diving in at Key Largo (washed out) and Jupiter Florida. I visited the awesome Arcade Odyssey in south Miami and of course Silverball Museum in Del Ray Beach. That's right! There is a sister venue that once again is totally awesome. I wore one of my Silverball Museum Asbury Park shirts to the Del Ray Beach location. It has a 2nd floor sort of thing with a catwalk around the top (open to lower floow), so it's a bit different. Similiar lineup in games (different games of course) and great history posted as well. I think I spent a good amount of time on some pitch and bat machines. I believe I heard that the owner is planning to open a 3rd location. I would happily join in the group buy but would plan to do unlimited or something. I don't know but in the past I think we usually got there quite a bit earlier than that.

So a few people have asked about staying longer than 1 hour. This would be the half day pass which is up to 6 hours. If anyone is interested in a half day pass let me know and I will make a separate group. By the way normally 1 hour is $12.50, with the discount, $10. The half day is normally $15, with the discount, $12. On Wed, Feb 20, 2019 at 8:50 PM Jeffrey Brace <jeffrey@vcfed.org> wrote:
