I've played in some weird situations but this one strikes them all out. Pun intended. Smile



We got to bowl on breaks. I haven't bowled in many years. It was kind weird when people would cheer because someone got a strike while we were playing. The gig was for a birthday party. It was fun in a different kind of way.

You gotta love them red bowling shoes!

Slide up for a strike, down for a gutter ball!

Neat place to play!

I may, in fact, be nuts. However, I am screwed onto the right bolt... Jesus!

That looks like it might have been fun.....
Our son worked his way through college working at a local bowling alley.
That building was one huge echo chamber.
I bet you sounded great!

Nice picture, interesting gig! I played in a lounge in a bowling alley many years ago, but I never played inside the bowling alley!

Sounds like a nice but odd gig. I hope the snack bar has typically good burgers.

I heard a lot people say the sound quality was really good. From where I was sitting I really couldn't tell. It was very noisy from all the bowling. By the end of the night after the bowling slowed down it was a lot better.

Years ago, someone here on the Forum said playing lap steel was like "bowling for notes" -- I think you just proved him right...
