What other club has their own private complex nestled deep in the Ouachita National Forest – smack in the middle of the area of Totality for the upcoming Solar Eclipse? The Mystic Krewe does! And we’re having a big party to celebrate! Membership has its privileges!
We don’t post much on our public web site about all the things that are routinely happening in the club, opting instead to keep much of the club’s business private, but the Mystic Krewe has been very active in the past and will continue into the new year. If you’re interested in finding out more, please visit or FAQ page.
Our newest public location, the Mystic Krewe Pinball Parlor at the Broad Theater (636 N. Broad) features the largest collection of modern Stern games in great condition as well as many vintage games including Ms. Pac Man, Galaga and others. We’ve been operating regular competitive pinball leagues. We’ve even helped produce an award winning documentary film. Held numerous classes on a variety of things from CPR to Basic Electronics.
We’ve continued to host numerous concerts of various music styles from R&B and Blues to Jazz. We’ll even be hosting some orchestral music in the future, and some large funk groups. (Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to see the live shows. Regular poker tournaments, gaming nights, and more! We’ve been hosting themed wine tastings as well, and our membership consists of an amazing array of chefs who are likely to bring their creations to our social events to share with the club. We’ve even been rehabbing injured animals!
Recently we got a behind-the-scenes tour of an upcoming large arcade/gaming complex that’s opening in the region. We also did a group trip to the Houston Arcade Expo. We’re hosting a party on the Endymion parade route this year too!
There’s never been a better time to inquire about joining the Mystic Krewe! If you value empathy, learning and sharing and are looking to make new, high quality friends, this is the place, and now is the time!
In association with PinballHelp.com, one of our club projects has spawned a new branch of technology called BSOS (Bally Stern OS) which involves integrating Arduino microprocessors into existing pinball architecture and making completely new rulesets and light effects and sounds. We debuted our technology showing off a completely customized version of the classic solid state pinball, Bally Paragon!
The new game not only includes 100% new custom code, but all original sound and audio, including music performed by Russell Batiste from his recent Live From the PinChurch performance (Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to see the performances!).
Work continues on Paragon and several other machines. Right now this is the only custom version of Paragon in the world. And we also have one of only a few custom versions of Stern Trident using the same BSOS technology, with even more to come!
