The Gathering -- 2K10
« on: March 01, 2010, 03:20:50 PM »
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages.  It''s getting to be that time again.  Last I heard, the official date is the last full weekend in July, July 24th and 25th, 2010 at Creekside Lanes.  I thought I''d start a thread to keep people informed so that vacation time can be planned out, schedules adjusted, excuses can be perfected, etc....  I''ll add more to the initial post when I receive more information.  The 2nd annual ThongPrincess Memorial Bragging Rights Tournament is still on for Saturday.  The last 2 years I believe women took the top 3 places -- guys, it''s time to show up and shoe up.  And due to the efforts of a certain SrKegler:  SPONSORED BY GLOBAL 900, STORM, AND LANE 1.  Woohoo!

RSVP to this thread.  Many thanks and hope to see 24 full lanes for the Tournament.

(Edit)  
For those who don''t know, and so there will be full disclosure:
Creekside Lanes
1450 Trademart Bv
Winston Salem, NC 27127-5646
(336) 771-9800

More swag coming in - Storm is now sending stuff, and wouldn''t suprise me if there was some Roto items mixed in.  SrKegler is still talking to Ebonite - so we may have toys from almost all the major players. (minus Brunswick)

I would really like to come to one of these things, but its just over 1000 miles from here to there, and I just can't see taking an entire week vacation and driving that far just to bowl.

 I don't play golf, so what else is there to do around there?

Ditto for me plus I don't play golf either....I would love to be able to attend this event and I envy the people close enough that are able to attend it. I would also love to be able to meet Ron Clifton and be able to take some lesons from him, but living so far away, it can only be a dream for me.

I would love to attend but I'm going to Indianapolis in July with my son for the Junior Gold Tournament.

Maybe next year!

How many people (average) attend this event?

Last two years it was around 30 counting spouses.  (And that''s all I can vouch for since I was there.)

As far as other things to do around here other than bowl and golf, hmmm..... there are the usual get-togethers that happen every evening, you''re only 3 hours away from the Blue Ridge Mountains, the outlet centers in Burlington, Lexington is only 15-20 minutes away if you''re into Southern Barbeque, Historic Old Salem for the historians, The Winston Cup museum for Nascar fans, Biltmore House is 90-120 minutes away depending on traffic.  Somehow I get the feeling that anyone who comes will be able to find things to do.  Since I live 3 minutes away from Creekside (Winston Salem, NC), if someone has a particular interest - I can do a few searches to try to find things of interest.

Don't worry, ball selection won't matter for you. You can't score on anything other than a house shot anyway. I love how you supposedly bowled the US Open and then hid your real name when called out.

The TPMBRT (abbreviated for space) is a 3 game sweeper on 3 different regional and/or PBA patterns.  Creekside has Brunswick Pro Anvilane, and as far as what to bring - bring what you think you'll need.  Normal house shot can run a little lighter than medium - I personally do well w/a LM Terminator Rebellion and Hornet, RG Cell Pearl and Mars.  Your milage may vary.

Please, this thread is for who wants to throw their name in the hat or ask questions about the Gathering.  Can we keep the sniping to the Non-Bowling related forums please?  Thanks.

If you are as good as you say you are should it matter what bowling balls to bring? IMO You should worry about how you are going to bowl outside of your bowling alley house rag.

BTW:What is your name?

I'd love to join in but just can't justify a trip out there for cost reasons, if it was something done in the midwest i'd be there no doubt but I understand why it isn't.

Too far away?  We drive 12 hours each way to attend and wouldn't miss it.  See, Jason, for the most part way too many people here just can't seem to get along.  Maybe it's time this Gathering moved on from here. We live in hope, but there's a reason most of the best have left.

I hope like heck the wife and I get to come this year. We hated missing last year especially with Colleen's death fresh on everyone's mind. We'll just have to see how work goes.
