Every night when everybody has fun
The radio-controlled kitchen clock is still showing the correct time. I like this trend.
I am still pressed for time, though, so here's the last pictures from pinball league finals last week. Want to know what's next on the photo roll? Well, it'll be something I could not possibly have shown you last week. That's a hint.
bunny_hugger gets a picture of folks competing on Batman 66, part of finals.
Eventually the group using the big, steady table left, and we moved the trophies and tournament stuff over there. It's the one really big table convenient for gaming and stuff that the place has, so we're reluctant to fill it up when bunny_hugger and I just buy two pops. But by now? Late in the evening? When the kitchen was shutting down? We felt okay taking that up now.
Playing on Stranger Things, also a favorite with the general clientele. And as you see from the wall decor, something the bar staff got into too. I don't know the significance of the Christmas lights above the alphabet but there's something like this on the pinball game so it must be in the show somewhere I guess.
Turning off games, partly because it's the end of the night, partly because yes, the roof was leaking again, from a new location, so those had to be moved out of the way.
And a last, very late, look at the bar from the upstairs. The alcove is concealed on the left. The band's stage is on the upper right near the windows up front.
Trivia: Ludwig van Beethoven waited ten years before thanking ETA Hoffmann for his July 1809 review, and critical appreciation, of the Fifth Symphony. Source: Beethoven: The Universal Composer, Edmund Morris. (Morris argues that Hoffmann --- not yet renowned for his story-writing --- was the first critic to really get what was great about Beethoven.)
