The return of Launch Those Geese at SS Billiards (http://www.ssbilliards.com/) came to a close about 1:30am this morning. That was 13 1/2 hours of pinball fun.

A great time was had. Pizza, Famous Dave's ribs, and a heck of a lot of fun playing pinball.

The tournament results were -
1st place - Keith Elwin
2nd place - Mads Kristensen
1st place consolation bracket - Jorian Engelbrektsson

Special mention of John Jundt and Phil Ayotte battling it out to the end. Great job !

Thanks goes out to Marlowe Koch and Dave Gorka for bringing in the cole slaw and potato salad. Thank you Jim Stoddard for the afternoon pizza.

Casualties were light. Report of a weak right flipper on NASCAR, and Big Bang Bar popped a fuse. Pretty good for the heavy play the games got.

And I would like to thank all that came and joined the fun. Getting to visit with the Swedish contingent was special. Making sure all the customers were having fun. And partying with Pinted and Mads after the event is the stuff memories were made of. A huge thank you to all who came and made the day special !

If you would like to get in on fun like this. I am here for your pinball enjoyment 360 days a year. And the next things coming up -

Sunday June 6th the Pinball Picnic. Famous Dave's ribs at 5pm, and a pinball tournament at 6pm with a $200.00 prize package.

Thursday June 10th the Crazy J event. Pizza at 7pm, and a player organized pinball tournament after the food.

And like the Launch Those Geese event, these two events there is no cover charge, games are on coin play.

Thank you !

Time to start thinking of this holiday weekend's kick off to Summer pinball fun in Minnesota.

Coming up this Sunday June 6th at SS Billiards http://www.ssbilliards.com/ in Hopkins is The Pinball Picnic.

For those participating in the event. Famous Dave's Ribs at 5pm, and pinball tournament with a $200.00 prize package at 6pm. $100 to the winner, $50 to second place, and $50 to winner of the losers bracket.

Crazy J Pinball Event is Thursday June 10th. Pizza at 7pm and a player organized tournament after the food.

With the 4th of July on the first Sunday of the month, there probably won't be a Pinball Picnic in July. Later in the month there will likely be another Launch Those Geese pinball event.

Summer goes too fast in these parts. Don't forget as we get on the roller coaster to fall. Near the end of Summer Pinball On A Stick at the Minnesota State Fair http://pinballonastick.com/ a must attend experience.

SS Billiards is open 360 days a year for your pinball enjoyment. Stop in and join the fun. Find out about up coming events. And get on our emailing list for updates.

There have been requests to change the Famous Dave's ribs at the picnics to subs. If you are in favor of any food changes at any of the events, please let me know. If there is enough interest I will try and accommodate them.

Traditionally the Pinball Circus gets the hot dogs, pizza, and pop. May Day Tournament the Famous Dave's little pig dinners (ribs, chicken, coleslaw, drunkin apples ), the Pinball Picnic has been the Famous Dave's ribs, the 37th Anniversary party was Savoy Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches and pop. The Crazy J Pinball event pizza.

Your participation in these events gets you a spot in next year's May Day pinball tournament.

I'm looking forward to a great Summer of pinball !
