A friend of mine is opening a Pinball “museum” in Orange County, California called Pinball Forever.

Most people think pinball is fun, of course, and indeed it is very fun, but I’m posting this on TC because pinball machines are also very beautiful. A great deal of art and design go into them. If you are interested in vintage mid-century pop art from the 50’s and 60’s, and also in seeing how the styles change in later years, you will find this entertaining. My friend is very knowledgeable about pinball, its history, and about the artists who created the machines, and he does a great presentation. I highly recommend it.

For now, Pinball Forever is open for timed and ticketed events. While you're there you can follow the presentation if you want or you can go off on your own. All the machines are free play. You can play whatever you want during your visit. See their web site for current information.
