On the Pinbrawl copyright issue, i talked to Josh Sharpe who runs the original Pinbrawl and his comment was “And no worries about the Pinbrawl name . . . we had 160 players at the last one we ran, so you’re still a lightweight ;-)”

Yes. The article was very nicely done and the event was a lot of fun. Mount a camera you say? That is actually a great idea, have a featured machine or something along those lines. Thanks again to everyone.

fabulous coverage– i’d like to mention that pinball is actually a really fun game to watch. if it got some more exposure i think people would come to really enjoy it. if people can dig watching people sit there and play poker, of all things, pinball could be truly illuminating. the rivalries can actually be fairly intense, the characters fascinating, and the skill downright amazing. hopefully we’ll see some more coverage of upcoming pinball events in the northwest– we’re holding regular smaller tournaments around town, and the northwest pinball expo should draw even more top ranked world players, along with a strong portland contingent. hope to be able to read more there.
