Midwest gathering
« on: August 22, 2011, 12:36:41 PM »
I know Monster, and Impending Doom, and myself were talking about a Midwest gathering in the Chicago land area. Or just to get together and bowl some games and meet new people, and drink some beer.
 
Where would a good place to do this, any ideas? I know leagues are starting up and it would be hard to get a block of lanes for a weekend night, I think? Maybe a in the day time would be better.
 
And how would you go about putting something like this together.
 
Or how many people would be interested?
 
Just floating this out there to see the interest.

Well, I could suggest a couple.. There's St. Charles Bowl.  Bowl late afternoon, end just before leagues.  Go over to Rookies, have a few & then do the St. Charles pub crawl... 
 
Other option is Brunswick Zone X in Algonquin. I don't think they run leagues.  There's all kinds of eateries near there... Famous Daves, Bone Fish, Biaggi's & a few others...
 
Pin Stripes in South Barrington could be another option.  There's a pizzeria sports bar in that same mall... A winery place, Cooper's Hawk which is pretty decent... There's a Rookies near there as well... Not sure if Poplar Creek bowl has leagues in the whole house or not, but it's just up the street from there...
 
Other than that, Chicago somewhere.... I dunno... Just throwing suggestions out there.

I would totally be for St Charles Bowl! It's like 5 minutes from my house!
 
If we need to find a place that is more central, we can talk to the people at Fox Bowl. I know the staff there and could probably arrange something. Bowling Green would be open to it too. Too bad there are no more 24/7 places like Rolling Lanes used to be (and might still be)

 Waveland is 24 hours, but depending on the night you probably dont want to be there too late.

Wait, did I miss the part about the pub crawl? We do that with a gathering, we need to have out of towners plan to stay with someone. Too bad the yard is closed. That leaves the filling station, charliefox, dog and duck (if its still even open?) And the beehive. All on the west side of the river.

PS. At the end, I would be crawling.

I would be interested in attending a Midwest-based get together, as well.  
 
Please keep us informed as to how this can happen!

Would be interested also.  John(Axewelder) and I are around NW side of Chicago and there are a few bowling alleys and plenty of food and drinks places, an off track betting establishment, and new Casino in Des Plaines and  the pro shop that I help out at and Axewelder frequently visits Chicago Bowlers Shop BZ Niles (Rich Blake), now with a second location in Brunswick Zone River Grove (Andy Loose drills over there !)

 

See you guys around here hopefully !
