Go and check out a blast from the past! You need at least 8+ hours to play and roam! $20 for unlimited play! Made me feel like I was at the mall in 1986! Go check it out especially on a snowy afternoon!#arcadelegends #pinballmachinesgalore #jawspinballmachine @eric.j.sonson

Pinball has been one of my lifelong passions. There is a magical world underneath the glass - artwork, engineering, sounds, and history are wonderfully wild, weird, and inspiring. Over the years, that love has led me to collect countless factoids - and given me an insider’s view into the incredible world behind the game.

I spent a day bouncing around arcades with writer @kristinlwolfe for a feature in @galconomist, sharing some of my favorite places, history, and memories from my life playing the silver ball.

Some pinball nerding:

-Pinball was actually illegal in NYC for more than three decades, with machines seized and smashed, until it was finally legalized in 1976.

-Synth pioneer @sevwave created the music, sound, and voice for Bally’s Xenon in 1980, their first talking pinball machine to feature a female voice.

-I’ve traveled across the U.S. meeting people who dedicate their lives to designing, preserving, collecting, and competitively playing pinball. I’m not competitive, but love playing, the history and wonderfully eccentric community.

-I once had a pinball machine delivered through a trap door of the @chicagotheatre so a rock band, crew + me could play backstage. I’m the first person to have pulled that one off in the history of the theatre. Thank you @sternpinball and @waison_cg facilitating legendary times.

- I've also hosted private pinball parties after concerts. Good clean fun with a multiball bonus never killed anyone! 😂

-I don't own a game and hope Santa will bring one for me someday.

-Favorite games: Bride of Pin·Bot, Jurassic Park, Attack From Mars, Elvira Scared Stiff.

-Top places to play or visit in NY and the U.S. @scrappleland @pasttimesarcade @logan_arcade @redhookpinballmuseum @sternpinball @sunshinelaundromat @noquarternash @riptidebeer

Read more of my pinball fascination in “Pinball Queen of Brooklyn” in the latest print issue of @galconomist - geographically challenged, perhaps, considering I live in the East Village, but apparently my pinball kingdom extends across the river and I’m keeping the crown! 👑

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.
In three days, 9/15, we’re playing at the fabulous Westside Bowl. We’re doing the damn thing with Zoloft and Orca Station, who are both outstanding.
It is our first time. Here’s what I’ll be doing beforehand. COME THRU.
