One of the highlights of this past weekend was heading down to the Northwest Pinball and Gameroom Show, held at Seattle Center. For an entrance fee, attendants got free access to over a hundred games, mostly pinball, with a few video games mixed in. It was a great way to kill a few hours, and to even learn something, with seminars featuring Steve Wiebe of the documentary King of Kong, and pinball designer legend Steve Ritchie. In all it was one of the better events we've been to at Seattle Center, amping up the pinball experience from Shorty's (although unfortunately lacking in the hot dog department).

My weekend was too damn full to be able to make this, but how much I would have loved to been graced by Steve Ritchie's presence. I'm very glad to know that there's a pinball community strong enough in Seattle to have an event like this. Kinetic games are just too cool.
The photos reminded me of my visit to the Pinball Hall of Fame/museum in Las Vegas.
