Julie's 30!

We celebrated Julie’s 30th birthday at Lincoln Square Lanes last night with great success.  We managed to get about 20 people to bowl at least 2 games which was a feat considering the small space that is Lincoln Square Lanes.  I probably had the worst night of bowling in my life but I blame it on my ‘Bowlers Thumb‘. 

If you’re wondering about how I made the awesome cake, I didn’t.  Tracie baked and iced the cake and I ordered a ‘cake cling’ from Gogo Cake.

Needless to say a good time was had by all.

Southport Lanes

Saturday night Julie and I met Nick at Southport Lanes for some shady bowling.  If you’ve never been, I recommend.  The lanes are manually operated by ‘pin monkey’s’ which you can tip to gain favor.  Basically rolling a ball down the gutter with a dollar bill rolled up inside can get you a strike no matter how many pins you hit.  This only complicated the fact that we have no idea how to keep score.

Last night a group of us met up for some good old fashion bowling at Lincoln Square Lanes where I bowled the game of my life. We played three games which I won the first and then I self destructed in the last two games. The bowling alley is located above an Ace Hardware store and is everything you would want in a bowling alley. Cheap beer, live music and birthday parties.
