In pinball, a “Tommy Tournament” is when teams of two compete, with one of the team members (the one controlling the flippers!) wearing a blindfold. Sounds bananas, right? To make this event even cuckoo-crazier, it’s being hosted by drag entertainer Mark Finley, and there’s a costume contest for the best “Ann-Margret” (the singer-actress-Hollywood-icon who starred in the classic and amazing 1975 rock opera Tommy). Hilarity will ensue! (Shorty’s, 2222 Second Ave, shortydog.com, 6 pm, free, 21+)
