I've started playing in a new league over on the Missouri side of the river, hosted by Third Rail Bar and Grill. Not a bad change of pace, I can get dinner on location (try the Train Wreck burger, very tasty, but be hungry - it's 3/4 lb of hamburger and beef brisket!), and new players to meet and compete with is always nice...not that the old ones were bad! 
Apparently even a change of venue isn't enough to get me out of my streak of mediocrity though - 11 points out of 20 this week. But since I've never played these particular machines before, I'll take it and run!
Another shock for me - these machines actually require coins to operate. (The machines at CP Pinball, my usual haunt, are all on free play.) Of course, I left my quarters at home like a noob. Thankfully management had thoughtfully provided a change machine!
What we're playing this season:
AC/DC Premium
Avengers LE (Hulk)
Playboy (Bally)
Evel Knievel
Iron Man
Mystic
Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Silver Slugger
Tron Legacy LE (and no, despite having played it, I have no idea why people are paying $15,000 for this machine! - I mean, it's very nice, but not $15K nice.)
Wheel of Fortune
X-Men LE (Wolverine)
I guess I better get more practice in on modern Sterns...sigh...
