Shorty’s relocated to their current address a few years ago and they are already doing some major renovations. Much like the original Shorty’s the current space will be expanding further to the back of the building. This will add more seating, another bar area and (possibly) room for more pinball machines! We’re going to have to wait until they reopen at the end of February to find out for sure. New Years Eve is the last day they’ll be open until the work is finished.
It’s been 10 years since the 8-Bit Arcade opened in Renton so December’s monthly matchplay tournament will have a few twists. The games will be on harder settings (reduced/no ball save, harder locks/mode settings, etc.) for a timed matchplay. Once the time is up the top 8 (or 4 depending on turnout) will play a matchplay style final. There will also be a raffle and cake! Tuesday 12/26, 7pm sign ups, 7:30 start, $10
Jupiter opens at 6
4Bs opens at 5
Tik Tok’s Workshop open
Wally House of Booze in Wenatchee
Another Castle Edmonds opened at 8
We assume that there are other neighborhood bars open as well but these are the locations that we know about that have a few games to choose from.
The tournament has also changed to a five round group Matchplay qualifying format with the top four players moving on to play in The Amazing Race (pinball tournament) finals! December 23rd, $5 buy in, IFPA points, sign ups at 3:30, tournament starts at 4. Tik Tok’s Workshop (Bremerton).
Did you know there is a pinball league based in the north side of Seattle? If not, tonight is a good opportunity to meet the people organizing and playing in The North End League! Tonights event celebrates the winning team with a pizza party and free tournament at Another Castle Edmonds: Dec 21st, party starts at 7, tournament begins at 8:15 – Free
TPL is a short-season pinball league taking place in the shadow of Seattle’s Monday Night Pinball off-season. Play a small free tourney and meet the members of TPL. If you’ve got a new team you’d like to register (4 or 5 people) or if you are interested in joining a team – they have nominal room for growth and this event is for you. December 18th, 8pm, Free, The Triple Knock, 21+
Please bring new toys to the 8-Bit this week to help less privileged children enjoy Christmas! You don’t have to play in the tournament to donate and help spread the season’s cheer.
