Thanks to everyone who made it out to my place last night-we had a good turnout, including a couple of new members. Sarah brought James out for his first week, and Devin made it out on a trip home from his research job in Japan. James, I hope we’ll see you and Sarah out for the rest of the season, and Devin-you’re welcome anytime you’re back in the country. Glad you could fit some beer and pinball into the trip.

Thanks to Adam and Denise for having everyone up to their place again, and keeping everyone fed through the evening. This was one of the quickest league nights that I can remember, with all 6 groups finishing league games in under 90 minutes, which says a lot about the difficulty of Adam’s games.
Congrats to Dave Newman on his first high score in a league game! High scores this week go to:
