| - So, I was presented the option of bowling or billiards. Having been recently humbled on the pool table I decided bowling was a safe bet. I mean let's face it. Bowling is one of the many things in life I suck at, but I always have a good time and even though I do it rarely I always tell myself I'm going to do it just a little more often.
When I saw her walking up with her cute little pink and black bowling shoes I knew I was in trouble. Yes yelpers, I got smoked, spanked, clobbered. She wiped the lane with me. Even worse, the 9 pound balls at the lane were pink, so she was color coordinated while she was kicking my ass. But who's kidding who here? I kinda liked it.
One difficult thing here, is that contrary to most bowling alleys I've been to, the balls are a little hard to find. There are two racks on the North side filled with 8s and 9s. Then there's a pile of racks over by the pool tables on the south end of the building that are a little trickier to locate. But they can't be that hard to find, because well, I found them. Also, if you're reading this, I just told you where they are so they should be easy to find now right?
Eager to redeem myself, we tried the basketball game. You know the one, the simulated time free throw job. She went first, and I watched her. She was good, but she was using the backboard a lot. I felt good about this. I stepped up, Lobbed the first two and then I hit my stride. I'd figured out my arc, I got the spin down. Here we go, swish, swish, swish. "Hey!" I thought to myself "I'm actually doing a good jo." But at that exact moment, my luck ran out. Brick, Brick, Brick. I managed to get my zen back and recovered my streak, but it was all over. Girl brought game, and I did not.
Next, we tried the pool table that wasn't in the bar. If you're picky, you'll be unhappy to know that the felt had a few good sized craters in it. I'm not good enough to be picky. I made a better showing here, but in the end my friend won again.
I ruled at Air Hockey, but something tells me she may have let me win. ;) Either way I don't care. I had a blast here and will definitely come by again. The staff was friendly but busy. I didn't try the bar but if I ever do I'll let you know how it is.
