Chicago land bowlers (pot games)
« on: June 17, 2006, 10:18:43 AM »
For those of you in the Chicago land area that want to bowl some pot games Rich"duke harding" and myself are going to meet up at Elk Grove lanes on July 8th.  I need to talk with him about the time.  For those of you that are interested please respond to this post so we can kind of get a head count.

hmmmmm......

Very interesting.

I've got tickets for that weekend's NASCAR activities at Chicagoland Speedway.  If this can be worked out around the Busch race on Saturday, I'll give it a try!

Yes, Andy, I have heard all of the Elk Groove lore, but I have yet to experience it first hand.  I guess I'll find out on July 8.  

A couple years ago, my good friend and Friday night teammate shot his first 300 there . . . followed by his second 300, ending up with 855.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it.  Can I pre-bowl?

I stopped at Elk Grove Bowl today, and talked to them.
They have open bowling from 12 til 2, then Cosmic Bowling from 2-4 (if anyone shows up for Cosmic). If we have another bowlers Mike Alberti said they'd open at 11 am.

Let's take a headcount and see approx. how many bowlers can make it at 11 am?
We could also bowl after the Cosmic...

Here is the address and phone number of the center:

ELK GROVE BOWL
53 S. Arlington Hts. Rd.
Elk Grove Village, IL 60007

Phone: 847-437-3393

I'm definitely in, Duke.  If nothing else, I figure I can get some tips from some of you guys.

Stop trying to impress other people, people mostly care about what you're saying about them not you.

If you don't like Wrigley, you might as well leave the country and join the Taliban.

I'll be in at 11 if we can get it then, that won't be a problem, it's not too far away for me.

Other bowlers maybe not from the area, it's REALLY easy to get to, but it is in a strip mall of sorts.  The alley is a stand alone, but it can be kind of deceiving depending on where you're coming from.

Also, donnydeutch, you tell Cole to come get some, and you make SURE to tell him Loose said so, he knows who I am...

I can make it at 11 if it works out.

I won't be calling out Cole - he's a good guy, but way out of my league.  Wait a minute - he is in my league - my Monday league - never mind.

Rick,

I'll actually be bowling Mondays at Hawthorne this year, problem is i'll only be splitting the league, i'll be bowling first half of the season, and getting married during the second half!  Just thought I'd let you know that I'LL be in your league next year too

I could never be in your league, Andy, unless it's as your doubles partner in an internet league - lol!

Congrats on the upcoming nuptuals.
