Bowling at the milky way was fabulous. I forgot how much I like bowling, especially when it's in a cool location (as opposed to the geeky league type places). We started in lane four, but after a bit, the machine that clears and resets the pins started acting up. At first, a pin would fall out of the machine as it was lowering the rest to set them up. Then nothing would happen when we pressed the button. So we hung out for ten minutes while they tried to fix it. It was funny...at one point we're sitting there drinking our drinks, and we see a white sneaker (and the leg it was attached to) hanging out of the pin area. So they fix the machine and we play a little longer, and it starts to happen again. This time three or four pins fall while the rest are being lowered. It was like they were falling from the sky. It was definitely amusing! Finally we got to switch to lane 9 to finish our second round. So *ac*, who only played candlepin bowling two weeks ago for the first time, kicked our butts the first round. While none of us are ready for professional teams, it was pretty amazing. I managed to get a spare during the second round, and beat *ac* by one point. I think they let me win since it was my birthday and everyone knows how competitive I am! Oh ya, and we got kamakazi shots. They were blue. Here's a picture.
