We are half way through the Fall 2013 season and it has been great. Returning players and new friends, we have a great group of people.
We had our first field trip night to Up Down Barcade in downtown Des Moines a couple weeks ago and it was a blast. Nice change of pace and getting to play all new machines. Several people that might not do great on a regular league night (probably mostly due to not understanding a machines rules as much as other player; really stepped up and did well on machines that no one was real familiar with. It was interesting to see.
My favorite thing about pinball league has been meeting all the people with similar interests. That has just been wonderful. My second favorite thing has been an appreciation for all pinball machines. Several that I didn't like when I first played them, I have learned to enjoy quite a bit...but even machines that I haven't previously had much interest in (think most pre-DMD machines), I have a new found respect for their layouts, design, and function. I didn't think it would happen, but Just the regular playtime has changed the way that I think about all machines and piqued my interest into other areas.
