The Mystic Krewe of the Silver Ball was started with a simple premise: Can we cultivate a small but tight-knit community of high-empathy people?

In a world where there’s so much division, insecurity, vanity, and contempt, can we buck that trend?   In a world where the “takers” are role models, is it possible to create a community of mostly “givers?”  

A place where you can recharge your batteries instead of having them be constantly drained?

This was our goal more than 10 years ago.  And since then we’ve proven it is possible, but it’s not always easy.

Do you yearn for a social scene where you can let your defenses down?  Where you can find people who are accepting and kind, as opposed to manipulative and judgemental?   The Mystic Krewe might be for you!  Take a look at our FAQ to find out more!

Even though we’re small, we have a very rich and diverse array of special people, the kind of people you’ll eventually call lifelong friends once you meet them.   We produce our own events; we have an unparalleled array of unique resources available; we collaborate on really cool projects; we love to learn and share.  If this appeals to you, consider joining!

We have a lot of really cool things happening in addition to our occasionally semi-public events.  Be sure to check our events page for more details!

At the Mystic Krewe, there’s never a shortage of interesting things going on. We have upcoming live concerts – check our events tab for that.

We’ve got a bunch of new and fun projects including a state-of-the-art Virtual Pinball cabinet we’re building from the ground up, that will feature thousands of pinball machine tables, from super rare historical ones, to unique games that only exist in the digital realm. It’s a great way to augment our already legendary collection of vintage coin op machines. Come to learn. Some to share. Come to collaborate. Come to play!

We’ve also been doing other fun things. Recently members took a mountain biking trip up to Bentonville, Arkansas and surveyed some of the world’s finest mountain biking trails in this beautiful community in the Ozark mountains. We hope to do this again in the future – it was so much fun!

We also recently had a visit from one of the GOATs in the pinball world, Sound designer extraordinaire, Chris Granner, who gave a wonderful talk and Q&A about his history as a creator of much of the sound FX, and music that you remember from your fondest pinball and other games.

If YOU would like to be part of our special family, check out our FAQ.

Hope to see you soon!

There’s been no shortage of fun things happening within the Mystic Krewe. 

From classes to movie nights, to parties and live concerts, as well as a wide variety of collaborate projects covering everything from arts & crafts to construction projects.

Our infamous Christmas party is coming; as well as our “Friendsgiving” celebration where we make a huge feast for everybody who wants to come who might not have their own family gathering to attend.  We recently did a class on resin casting, and a fun Halloween-themed, “Witches and Warlocks” party featuring a “drink laboratory” and pumpkin carving.

We are also anxious to welcome back Alexis & Sam to the PinChurch for a special show on Friday, October 8th – a limited number of tickets might still be available.

There’s never been a better time to join the Mystic Krewe – a community of supportive, high-empathy people who like to learn, share and collaborate.   You can’t choose your family, but you can use your FRamily.   Consider joining ours.  Visit our about page to learn more!
