There you have it: the stars have spoken, big things are moving, and feelings are swelling like blistering beach balls, bobbing in the astral tide. Nowhere are big feelings more acutely felt than in the bowels of big things, and that means the massive belly of CFF is twinging with emotions being manipulated by jupiter and its axis of planetary evil… or benevolence, or clemency, or whatever they axisize about.
The bottom line is that you might expect too much from yourself and others during these weird times; demanding more than is fair, or investing more love than you can really spare. Is that fair to our relationship, gangsters? Is it fair to ourselves? I suggest we all take some deep breaths and curl up in bed with a pint of soy delicious with vegan sprinkles and that scrapbook of Cathy comics we’ve been clipping out of the sunday paper for 14 years, then write in our diary for a while and take a quick meditative nap before the meeting tonight (which is at the Vern, where you can rock AFM, MM, MB, and those NGG’s while swilling $2 micro pints aw yeah.)
Other things that are/were big and might be affecting your inner life: The NW Pinball (and gameroom) Expo. Full of stuff. Deserving of a full write-up of its own that it’s not going to get. Featuring a maxed out tournament of pin-elites and a clutch of rare games to burn through your flipper calluses. It was a fun event all around, the tournament in particular making huge strides over the year before in efficiency, competition, and prize packages, and while there’s room for improvement in some areas of the show (the convention center atmosphere might be a necessity due to size and power requirements, but it would be a nice change of pace to see a show with a little more proper gameroom vibe rather than sterile carpet and overhead fluorescents, no food or drink on premises, children were allowed…) all in all, if you weren’t there, you missed something pretty sweet. Oh, and get this– several return players commented on the conspicuous absence of some of CFF’s best from this year’s show, and even speculated that perhaps these luminaires skipped because they were intimidated by the caliber of the players in attendance this year! Fancy that. So, skippers, you missed your chance to put the likes of the sharpe brothers, eden & cayle, trent augestein, neil shatz, and keith elwin in the CFF chokehold they deserve; but there’s always next year, right! (not to mention CAX, PAPA, and a handful of other greatish shows, if you can find a way to get there.)
Anyway, here’s a few flicks from the show– yeah, ok, it looks like about 3 portland bars crammed into one room but really! it was pretty cool.

“There you have it.”
No, there you have it.
I put a score up on that Whitewater!!! then somebody won it in a raffle (the machine, not the score).
