A Mission

On Facebook, Otis had a thread going about pinball and reminded me that in the creaky old days, we'd spend hours (and lots of quarters) mastering the Elvira, Fish Tales, and Adams Family machines of Vazac's, Z Bar, and the Scorpio Bar. I don't drink so I got really good at it in time and even exerted some control over the machines. Though our pal Steve J could always beat me--he was a master.

And look what came up! A pinball "museum" in Asbury Park. Play all day for $20.

I have a field trip coming up in the spring.

I want to go, but mostly as an excuse to ride my motorcycle to Asbury Park. I suck at pinball.

Find me the Star Control museum...now that's a different story...

I went to this this past weekend, it is cool, def worth $10 to play for an hour, try to pick a game and beat the high score. There is one skee ball machine too plys miss pacman, but mostly just lots of pinball. only problem, restrooms were out of order, that was annoying.
