Hey Belles!,
Another great night of pinball is in the books! On Wednesday, October 8th, ten of us met at The Kickback Bar, including one new person. We hope to see her again soon!
Huge thanks to Kickback for hosting and to Robo for the great bartending. ๐ฅฐ

๐ Upcoming Events – Pin-Golf Launch Party at the Kickback ๐
Our next event is at the Kickback Bar on October 26th for pin-golf which will also be our Star Wars Fall of the Empire launch party!
With it being so close to Halloween, letโs make this day extra special by making this a Halloween-y night! We dare you to play your best pinball game with your costume on. Bonus points if you have a Star Wars themed costume! Those with the best Halloween costumes will walk away with a trophy or other prizes. We canโt wait to see what you have up your sleeve.
Registration begins at 11:30AM, and we start playing at 12:00PM. Entry fee is $5 + coin drop.
We encourage you to RSVP on Facebook. It helps the engagement on our page and can drive additional viewers to the event.
November will be a double whammy at Aftershock. Mark your calendar for November 12th and 23rd for more pinball!

Congratulations to our very own Tiffany for taking 3rd place in the B Division at the Pinball Womenโs Expo FlipOut Tournament!
A total of 90 players competed, with Division A made up of the top half of qualifiers and Division B consisting of the remaining players. Although the Division B โfinalsโ werenโt IFPA-certified, the top 8 still earned prize money, and the top 4 took home some adorable hardware.
Fantastic flipping, Tiffany! ๐
๐ข Project Pinballs 83rd Dedication ๐ข
On October 21st, Project Pinball dedicated a brand-new Scooby-Doo pinball machine at the Madison Ronald McDonald House!
This incredible donation was made possible thanks to the Evil Dead raffle hosted by Project Pinball, as well as the funds raised locallyโincluding the coins youโve dropped into specially marked machines at Kickback (most recently Terminator 2).
A huge thank you to everyone who played and helped bring a little more fun to families staying at the Ronald McDonald House! ๐
Check out Project Pinballโs Facebook page to see more photos and videos.
Moments like these are a great reminder of the power of our pinball community. Even as a small group, every coin dropped, game played, and event supported adds up to something truly meaningful. One small flip at a time, weโre making a big impact. It has the power to bring joy, connection, and support to others well beyond our own machines.
We canโt wait to see you this weekend! Donโt forget those costumes!
