Hey Belles!,

We had a flippin’ fantastic time at NerdHaven Arcade and with 18 of you awesome people showing up (including one fresh face), it was a night to remember!

We were all about celebrating milestones this time–congrats to our newest PhD (you know who you are), the Belle who just tied the knot (Donelle), and the one who saved the day by rescuing a pup (Nichole)! Talk about leveling up in life!

A massive shoutout to Mary for the grate cheese and summer sausages which paired nicely with the wine provided to us from our pals John and Adam. Additional thanks to John and Adam for providing three gift cards to NerdHaven for our winners! Be sure to check out Grab N Grocery on 1511 Williamson Street if you want more of the delicious goods Mary provided us. We know you can get some bomb spring rolls and homebrewed kombucha as well.

Winners’ Circle

In our main final, our Belles duked it out on Black Knight 2000. Sharkey got the gold at the end. Donelle with silver, Erin with bronze, and Jacque with… Copper? In our other groups, Alley, Aimee, and Nia won NerdHaven gift cards.

Our Olympic-themed trophies really brought out the competitive spirit–thanks to everyone who played with such heart and skill!

Save the Date!

For our next event on September 11th, we’re still deciding between a few options, but Double Tap might just be our next stop. Stay tuned for details–it’s going to be a blast either way!

Pinball News – New Venue Kickback

If you haven’t heard the buzz yet, a brand-new bar is about to flip into Middleton, boasting over 30 pinball machines! It will be the new home of the Craft Beer Pinball League. The list of pins and other arcade games is already up on their website.

But that’s not all! They’re planning to host even more fun events like a Skee-Ball League and NBA JAM nights, so you’ll definitely want to stay in the loop. Be sure to click the icons at the bottom of their website to follow their social media pages–you won’t want to miss out on any of the action!

Thanks for making NerdHaven a night full of fun, fantastic flips, and gold-medal moments! Can’t wait to see you all again sooner

Cheers and High Scores,

The Belles & Chimes Madison Planning Team
