MOV Pinball 1Starting next month, the MOV is presenting not one, not two, but THREE Pinball themed events, each perfectly suited for lovers of loud noises, flashing lights and high scores!

On Thursday, October 6th, join International Pinball Tournament Champion Robert Gagno and local pinball collector and All Together Now contributor, Kyle Seller and for a Q&A session that covers the local pinball scene, pinball obsessions, and the role pinball has played in developing their friendship. These guys are some of the most knowledgeable pinball aficionados out there and they’re ready to answer your questions. Maybe they’ll even give you some insight on how to be come a pinball wizard in your own right.

Me and My Collection: Between The Bumpers happens October 6th at 7:00pm. For more information, or to purchase tickets to this event, visit the Museum of Vancouver’s website, HERE.

MOV Pinball 2As if that weren’t enough, the MOV will also be presenting Happy Hour: TILT! Public Pinball Tournament on Thursday, October 13! That’s right; this is your chance to go head-to-head against fellow pinball enthusiasts on 8 sought-after machines from pinball history including Funhouse (1988), Cyclone (1988) and Jack-Bot (1995). Hosted again by local pinball collector, All Together Now exhibition contributor and Stacked Pinball League coordinator Kyle Seller, the tournament will be open to players of all experience levels.
