World Pinball Championships.

A week after the UK Pinball Show the IFPA World Pinball Championship comes to the UK. I just found out yesterday that Josie d'Arby will be coming along with the BBC to film UK hopeful Eddie Mole for their programme Inside Out.

We should also be getting an 8 minute segment on Trans World Sport, which is broadcast in 80 countries worldwide!

I also spotted a couple of articles about other players coming to the UK.

Canada.com has a piece on Eden Stamm

and the Delaware Gazette has a piece on Trent Augenstein,

who it turns out is a farmer. Maybe we can find him a few little jobs around the farm here to make him feel at home!

It'll be a who's who of who can play pinball at Pins Anon HQ from July 31st for 3 days of intense competition - can't wait!

Cheers

Chicago Tribune: Stern Pinball

Hot on the heels of yesterday's article on legendary pinball designer Steve Kordek, the Chicago Tribune have another pinball piece about Stern Pinball and of course the fact they are the only coin-op pinball manufacturers on the planet.

Click the pic to read the article.

Chicago has always been the home of pinball and great work by the Tribune for two pinball articles in 2 days. Special thanks to Lisa Pevtzow the journalist - who must have married a pinhead (or of course, be one)!

Cheers
