We Butter Ballers were the virtual home team at Barcade FiDi tonight as we took out Pinister Six in the first round of Pinball NYC’s Right Inlane playoffs, 10-6. I had a meh game of Congo and a good game of Rush, both in doubles rounds and both in our favor

Last night our New York City Flipper Sport Association traveled to Midway Bar to visit Balls of Steel; they won 9-7, but we secured enough points to guarantee us the top seed as we go into the Pinball NYC playoffs. We also tried to obey the bar’s posted rule.

Played in The Harvest: Nonbinary & Femme Edition last week (and got myself done up with a mohawk, miniskirt, and new slutty Converse boots). What I didn’t reckon on is now I’m qualified for New York women’s state finals 😳

The Funhouse pinball machine at @scrappleland.bsky.social has two custom shooter rods meant for Elvira’s House of Horrors, and I do not like it

Saturday, I worked at Barcade Brooklyn, replaced a flipper on Eight Ball Deluxe. Went to a friend’s Halloween party, stayed out very late, played pinball and had a snog. Sunday, very hungover, came in second at the finals for the At the Wallace Selfie League.

On Wednesday night, I lost the tie-break game to get into ScrappleLeague A Division finals, then got knocked out in the semi-final round of B Division. Oh well, that's pinball--especially since South Slope Pinball League started up again on Thursday night. Back on the train!

Last night, Neptune’s Treasure visited us Butter Ballers at Buttermilk Bar and we lost a tight one 7-9. I wore a very similar outfit as last week and made sure to snap a pic this time. #pinball

NYCFSA traveled to Barcade Fidi last night to face Lionpersons! and picked up a nice 10-6 road win on some very weird pinball machines. Baywatch, Championship Pub, and Rocky & Bullwinkle were among the contested arenas.
