Shorty’s pinball tournament has gotten intense. This past year,
116 competitors came from six countries, including the reigning
world champion (from Pittsburgh) and the guy ranked number six (from
Stockholm). The non-pro pinballer doesn’t stand a chance, and the smell
of excreted stress is not pleasant. The First Annual Georgetown
Invitational Pinball Tournament
(starting at Jules Maes Saloon,
with satellite games at Calamity Jane’s and the 9 Lb. Hammer) is for
amateurs and local ne’er-do-wells, for drinking and having fun.
Georgetown Brewing Company will provide a valuable grand prize;
all entrants get a commemorative T-shirt. (Jules Maes Saloon, 5919
Airport Way S, 957-7766. 2 pm, $10 to enter/free to be, 21+.

  1. I introduced my friend DJ Dara, also a world champion pinball competitor, to Shorty’s. He rocked the Pirates of The Caribbean machine.
