Brian's Mid-Life Crisis Arcade

06/13/2023

Hi all!

NOTE -- week 7 at the Mid-Life Crisis Arcade is postponed, and we'll play a double header next week to close out the season.

Alas, my daughter is home sick today with a fever from strep throat, and I was diagnosed with Lyme disease yesterday and am totally wiped. (Good news on that front; caught early so hopefully antibiotics will resolve that all quickly.)

See you all next week!

Hi everyone! Very excited for the start of league, and wanted to provide an update here on COVID-19 protocols at The Mid-Life Crisis Arcade for the upcoming season.

As previously mentioned, vaccination is required for all pinball events. Owing to the delta variant, for the upcoming season, masks will additionally be required.

I'm looking forward to the day when we can all play pinball again without the need for these precautionary measures, but in the meantime, I'm simply glad that we'll all be able to play pinball again! If anyone has questions or concerns, feel free to get in touch.

Keep flipping!

FAQ:

Will eating and drinking be allowed in the pinball space?

Not at this time.

OMG! But what about snacks?!?

Yes, there will be snacks. In nice weather, there is a small outdoor patio not far from the pinball room. For weekend tournaments, there's a nice big back yard -- I have a number of patio chairs, additional lawn chairs are welcome! Additionally, there is a covered 3 season room that has a lot of ventilation, so, in rainy conditions, we'll open up all the windows, and snacks and drinks can happen in there.

Will masking policy change depending on how the COVID numbers change?

At this time, I don't think it is likely that masking policy will change during Season 24, but I will certainly take it into account if the situation with variants dramatically improves.
