Belles!! Thank you for yet another fantastic night of pinball and community! We love seeing everyone together, from regulars to newbies. Fifteen players (including one lovely new player!) showed up for the fun. ‘Tis a delight to spend time together and play all the pinball.

The top tier had some marathon competition at the end of the night, with Aimee in 1st, Mary in 2nd and Brooke in 3rd  winning the homemade trophies. Winners of the other groups were Jacque, Ann and Jen who received gift cards from I/O.  Well done, all!  I/O Arcade Bar, thank you for hosting and donating the gift cards!

Next up: we’ll be having a casual meetup at Black Rose Blending on Wednesday, November 29 at 6pm. (1602 Gilson St, Madison, WI 53715)  Please join us and show some love to the newest pinball location in Madison!

Finally, we’ll be wrapping up the end of the year with a holiday extravaganza at NerdHaven on Wednesday, December 13 at 6pm (play starts at 6:30pm)! Ugly holiday sweater attire is encouraged. Or hey, any ridiculous holiday outfit will do! Bring it! It is also our Venom launch party so maybe you have an awesome comic costume you would like to wear.  It’s a party. Why not wear a holiday themed comic costume?  Can’t wait to see you all!

Hello, Belles!! Thank you to all who came out for another super meetup at Nerdhaven last night, including the 2 fantastic new players! It’s always a blast to see you all and be able to play together. Yay, pinball!!

Yesterday we saw Amanda N, Katie B and Lauren R as the top 3 winners of the night, scoring some adorably spooky trophies. Winners of the additional knockout round groups, who won gift cards to NerdHaven, were Donelle, Tiffany and Jena.  Well done!

We’re hoping to see everyone next month for our November meetup at I/O Arcade.  Then we will wrap up the year with another bash at Nerdhaven for some holiday shenanigans including a Venom launch party! Should be a jolly time, and feel free to bring along some pinball-curious friends and family for the ride!

Hello, delightful people of Belles! We had a mighty turnout on Wednesday night for the September meetup at Blue Moon sponsored by One Barrel. Thanks to Blue Moon for hosting our group and thank you to One Barrel for the wonderful prizes and free drinks.  It was great to see you all as the season is changing and we move into cooler weather. Which we all know is pinball weather. What better way to spend the upcoming harsh midwestern winter?!

We had 14 players participate last night, including one newbie! Welcome! The top players of the night were Sara in the numero uno position, then Aimee in 2nd and Jacque in 3rd. Other knockout round winners were Elise, Lauren and Amanda. Sweet skills, people!! Hope to see you all again in October for some more affectionate battle!

Belles, last night was a fun night night with the 16 of you that made time to join us for some pinball at Blue Moon Bar & Grill.  Thank you Blue Moon for hosting all of us on short notice.  RIP O’so Madhouse. 

This month we had two of the 3 top winners celebrating their birthdays.  Happy birthday to you ladies!  We got to award the top three players with hand painted Volkswagen Bus photo holders.  Congratulations to Lauren (1st ), Dori (2nd ), and Katie B (3rd).  In addition to the trophies One Barrel spoiled us with drinks and cute & soft tank tops!  And guess what?!!?  They will be sponsoring us again next month at Blue Moon Bar and Grill.  Can’t wait to flip with you all again next month!
