I just did some work for one of Shorty's owners last night and he is adding 7 or 8 pins in his new bar. He is thinking of setting up a pinball league, one for Belltown and one for Georgetown (parts of Seattle, you know).

He is adding Quick Draw, Prize Fight... can't remember what else. I know he has a warehouse with Pac Man, 8 Ball Deluxe and Centaur in storage. To many games, not enough space.

This new house gets odder everyday.
I'm not normally one to fall for such things but everytime my band plays we all swear we can hear a baby crying upstairs but it stops when we stop.
Today my GF was at home (usually she's smart enough to vacate on practice days) and after we were playing a half hour or so she comes down to...

I love pinball.

In Seattle here there is a pinball bar, Shorty's.

They have 12 games all the time with a rotating stock every couple months. Right now they have Twilight Zone, Dr. Who, Revenge From Mars, 1776 (first game with digital score display), Flash Gordon, Jack-Bot, Medieval Madness, River Raft, Elvira, Lord Of the Rings and some old 60's spaceship thing. The games are all in excellent condition cos one of the owners of the bar works on them. He doesn't sub that work out, so if there's a problem it is sorted out within a day. In fact, Shorty's has a pinball tournament every year. It is in November. I entered last year and placed about 30th out of 64. The last two people play on a machine that no one else has played in the tourney and the winner keeps the machine.

Plus, Shorty's owners are opening a new place, so that place will have more pinball.

I like the late 70's/ early 80's games best. I think the Pac Man game is my fave.

Check out the tour section on the Shorty's site to see the bar and games. It is a little more lit up in the photos. It is a great punk rock bar with all sorts of people.

Why is the rent so low?
This ain't no house, it's a spider zoo!

At one point this might have freaked me out but these things are so big they deserve names.

It has gotten cooler in Seattle so our windows are closed more often now. We were getting heaps of spiders til then.

This is last week:

Sunday: Come home and find the house I rent has been sold and the new landlord "didn't realise it was occupied" (!!) and despite reams of furniture and personal belongings has decided to start "minor renovations" anyway.
What are "minor renovations" you ask?
All the windows were gone, the openings covered with tarps. A 5 foot square hole in the roof...

No computer for almost a month!
I thought I'd die until I actually started spending most of my time outdoors.

But life is sweet: The day I get my machine back from the shop
October's long awaited set goes up!

And thanks to an evil friend I'm full on addicted to
Ultima Online again.
If it's not one pixelated addiction it's another............................

Today is the first really sunny day in about 2 weeks.
Usually by now in Victoria it's full on summer.

So I take the day off work using an excuse that is so unbelievably lame no one is going to buy it and now it's 3:00 and I'm still indoors.

And every post I've made today is smattered with spelling mistakes and edits. confused

Time to...
