Best 5 Days of September

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Anna Newman

A few photos from the Pacific Pinball Expo, definitely my favorite five days of September!

Charlie Kuttner and I filmed the whole load in, an amazing 2 day transformation of an empty room to a pinball wonderland, and then of course I got to meet and talk to a lot of you, play pinball, see cast and crew members, eat donuts, and screen my films. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the show and to the amazing volunteers of the Pacific Pinball Museum who make the magic happen!

Wanted: New Home for the Pacific Pinball Museum

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Anna Newman

The Pacific Pinball Museum is looking for a new home, a setting where they can show more than the current fraction of the fantastic collection of games, teach kids about science, and spread pinball joy and luv. Can you help out, even a little?
