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.

I dont' have very many, just bringing a Vapor that IL wants, (we'll see!  I don't think I would want either of those balls in trade!) and a Uturn Pearl, both in 15.    See you soon!

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

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

Mark, Thanks for putting it together, it was a Fun time.
I thought it was an interesting shot that was laid out.
Fair, not real demanding. Spares were good though.
Nice center, clean and modern.
 
Side note: I averaged 184 for 14 games.
A couple of 140 games  in there.

I have one old, sore knee, on my slide leg.

Dale, dont feel bad. I came with 6 balls that I wanted to trade sell off but instead went home with 10 total! Ahh well, because of you though, I have finally finished my fall season arsenal.

Yesterday was a good time, even though I sucked hard on the shot. Especially on my spare shooting, that was horrid. Cant wait for the next NE IL BR Meet!!!! Maybe we can do this on a saturday at my local house, could probably lay out a PBA shot. Just an idea to ponder guys.
