Huge thank you to everyone who has been purchasing the Pinball Double Featurette DVD. It looks like the first pressing will sell out this summer. It’s been exciting to watch the overflowing case from the first run clear out: 
Your nice reviews and emails in response to the project are much enjoyed and appreciated.
PS: Good news for International buyers: I have found a lighter means of packaging that brings the shipping costs down a bit.
This weekend on Sunday July 14 from 2:00 – 3:00 PM I’ll be at California Extreme in Santa Clara, CA, screening both Pinball Donut Girl and Wade Krause: Pinball Artist films. I think Wade will be there too, and I’m hoping other cast and crew will join us as well.
and I’ll bring DVDs!
If you would like me to bring your DVD to you personally at CAX rather than shipping, please send me a note or fb me or leave a comment here to let me know. Hope to see you at the show!
During my visit to the Pittsburgh Independent Film Festival for a screening of Pinball Donut Girl, I got to visit the newly opened Kickback PInball Cafe.
It’s in the Lawrenceville neighborhood in Pittsburgh, which seems like a pretty cool neighborhood, right by Arsenal Bowl.
The space is wonderful: giant murals with space girls and robots, including a light up floor mural that is like walking onto a playfield, tables that look like pop bumpers, and lots of games, including 3 customs!
Brian Holderman did all the art. Brian is also the graphic artist on Wade Krause: Pinball Artist and designed the DVD artwork for PBDG/WK:PA.
Two of the cafe’s custom games I had seen before at the PAPA warehouse: Luther’s Vendetta (Brian Holderman) and Freak Out (Mike Budai).
I hadn’t seen Silver Bullet in person yet. Super cool. I even bought a tee-shirt with the backglass detail.
Lots of folks visted the cafe, hung out, played the games and had (good) coffee and food. I had a great salad. I know, I know! but I’m from California, ok? and I can’t help myself. Plus I had to balance some huge meatball hoagies, etc.
So make your way to Pittsburgh and check out Kickback and Brian’s art — he has murals around town too. An arcade with more games is opening upstairs at Kickback soon.
And catch the Andy Warhol Museum while you are in town — it’s great. This was my second time and there was a ton new to see. Lurve that place.
PS: Brian and I are talking about a limited run print of the DVD art for Wade Krause: Pinball Artist. I’ll keep you posted about that project….
