Visiting Michael Schiess at the Pacific Pinball Museum

If you haven’t made the trip to Alameda, CA to visit the Pacific Pinball Museum, you need to.  90+ games on free play, beautiful artwork, signage and knowledgeable folks to teach you history of American Pinball, and a great vibe. There was a Mad Men themed birthday party in one of the rooms you can rent — everyone was turned out beautifully.

Michael is working with me on putting together a super finale for Pinball Donut Girl:  I am going to film those scenes with his machines.  I’m thinking the featured machine for the finale should be Fun House.  What do you think?  I’ll make a poll and you guys can help me decide.

Whoa, Greg!

First I got to meet Michael and Ralph Sehnert at CA Extreme, and tonight I had a great conversation with Greg Freres, renowned pinball artist currently working on Wizard of Oz and Whoa Nellie.  It’s such a privilege to speak with artists like Greg. Their love of pinball is clear not only from their artwork, but in their passion when talking about projects.  I can’t wait to see Whoa Nellie in person.
