Monday night at #FemmeFlip, our #WomensPinball league, the theme was "Pinball Prom Queen", and I dusted off my original 1986 prom dress (with a few styling alterations to account for the vicissitudes of time and unforgiving zippers). Amazing night of pre-birthday fun and glamour with the gals.

THRILLING NEWS FROM THE VANCOUVER WOMEN’S PINBALL SCENE (thrilling to me, particularly): we are apparently moving #FemmeFlip, our regular #WomensPinball tournaments to an all new pinball spot that is a mere 550 metres from my home [sayeth Maps]. Tourneys are also increasing in frequency and will be every other Monday at 730 (start date for this and the new location’s name & details TBA). The pinball gods/goddesses obviously want me to play more, and host some pre-game gatherings-of-the-gals!

#Pinball recap: not only did I finish the qualifying round in 1ST PLACE for the first time ever, but I lost my closest high-scoring match ever to the amazing Emily, who eked out a truly epic victory on #Jackbot after her bonuses totalled up to put the scores at 369,123,600 and 369,123,590... a mere 10 point difference!! We gasped so loud it could be heard over the other machines. Absolutely incredible night, even though I finished 4th in the finals later.🥰 #WomensPinball #FemmeFlip #YVRPinball

Last night was the 1st anniversary of our monthly #WomensPinball tournament, #FemmeFlip, and to celebrate, I ate icing with a few crumbs of cake attached (I'm feeling stuffed up and glutenated today, but it was worth it)! 18 ladies of all ages and skill levels came out to play #pinball and gas each other up, and to wish one of our compadres #SaraLittle good luck as she competes at the #IFPA Women's Championships in Fort Wayne, Indiana this weekend! GO #PEZ! Bring home the title for #YVR! 🙌

Another amazing #FemmeFlip last night, highlighting what a great community of #WomensPinball we have here in Vancouver. These ladies are just rad, and it's SO nice to play without all the chronic mansplainers and noisy death savers and "just going to stand here and watch your game so I can give you a few pointers" guys. I do NOT require male feedback on most things, especially not my crazy-ass pinball style. I'm about the flair & the fun & the friends, not the scores & rankings.

Tonight was the 2nd ever monthly #YVR #FemmeFlip #WomensPinball tournament, made extra amazing by organizers Cynthia & Nicole and all the players who came out. I loved getting to play with so many rad ladies, and I finally got some long overdue #IFPA points up on the big board! The post-pandemic #pinball scene in #Vancouver seems to have been very welcoming to women & it couldn’t happen to a nicer hobby. Sickeningly skilled players tonight. And some of us curse a blue streak worse than the men.
