2nd Official BR Northern Illinois Get Together
« on: July 09, 2006, 03:29:49 PM »
Back by popular demand

Mark your calendar, my home center of Arlington Lanes will be hosting for what is sure to be another great event.  The staff are all fellow coworkers and friends of mine, and a vast majority of them are bowlers themselves.  I hope we can see a much larger turn out this time and get the video cameras going. Anyone and Everyone is welcome. Ask around and see if your friends are interested, the more the better!  I know some of the great guys who bowl the adult leagues will love to join us.  Lineage is expected to remain at its current rate of 2.00 a game with a buy two games get one free special.  If the amount of attendees permits we'll try to host a mock tournament, worst case scenerio will have us just bowling some pot games and goofing around  Hopefully we'll get some equipment up for raffle as a bonus.  

                      Information

Date Saturday August 12, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Center Arlington Lanes
Address 3435 N Kennicott Ave, Arlington Hts, IL 60004, US
Phone 847-255-6373
Website http://www.arlingtonlanes.com/
Directions http://www.mapquest.com/  


At this time i would like to stress a head count. This is vital in the planning of the event(s). I'm urging all attendees to be proactive and inform their friends and fellow league bowlers in the bowling community about our little event. It is up to you guys (the attendees) to make this happen. Each extra person that we can get is going to make the event that much better. It's time to reach out and make the 2nd BR northern Illinois get together more than the cult footnote that it is. Stand up. Reach out. Be heard. Please respond if you know any friends outside of Ballreviews that are attending with you.

The 12th sounds good to me!  Can't wait to do it again with you guys, I should have some new balls in my arsenal by then!

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.

the video cameras don't lie splendorlex , but seriously, you have a great physical game for someone who has been bowling as long as you have.  I pm'd several more people just waiting for responses...

Hey splendor your game really does look pretty solid considering how short of a time you have been bowling.  If my game on looked that solid, with 3-4 years in.   I really need to see how bad my game looks like from the back.  lol

It was really cool to see all the different styles people had.  The down and in strokers like myself, Duke, Rick and Chi, and then some of the big time crankers like axeweldr, Loose and blas.  I couldn't believe how torqued your hand was in the backswing, axe, it was crazy!  I was wondering if I could even get my hand in that position!!  Thanks for the compliments on my game given my time bowling.  Lucky for me, I come from a big bowling family, and once I got into it they made sure I got coaching right away.  I know I'm on the right path, I just need to work work WORK!

I'm not a bowler, but I do play one on Ballreviews.

So if I ever do a video, should I have a warning for kids. Not to try this at home?  LOL

LOL  I think you would win the caption contest.  Maybe we should post a video, and see who could come up with the best caption.  But I would hate to see what some people would say.  LOL
