Come down and have some pizza and beer with us.

Entry: $5 to enter the tournament, and then quarters for your games.

Where: Hi-Life Pizza in downtown Oakland, 400 15th Street.  It’s at the corner of 15th and Franklin Streets.  The sign says “Rico’s Diner”. DO NOT BE FOOLED.  Games are upstairs.

For BART, take 12th street exit and it’s a five minute walk.

Is there some cool, hip or ironic tie to the movie MYSTIC PIZZA?  No, I lack creativity.

Have you even seen it? No.

Maybe someday we’ll watch it together?  Sure. I’d like that very much.

Wpprs: This tournament will award world pinball player ranking points (wppr) at 1/4 value.
