Not only am I in, I will bring cut-up oranges for Suckers Playground!

I ate more oranges at Hoops 2 than I had eaten the whole last year...shows my level of nutrition...

Well, you can have whatever Sucker's doesn't eat...

Seriously?

Unless something drastic comes up (standing up in 2 weddings this spring, so its possible) I am in. I'd say we'll probably have to reserve at least 4 lanes, cof?

_________________

I'd say more...I'm getting better at numbers predictions and I forsee this event at anywhere from 16-24 board members. So I'll get 6 lanes just as a precaution, especially since they say they don't charge extra...

Side note: I do plan on inviting Silvy this time. Sorry for the swing and a miss last time, sir. I didn't know you cared...

Yeah, thats good. Ideally, 4 per lane. We could also have a CSFMB poker tournament coinside with bowling (1 card per strike/spare, max of 5 cards in your hand at once, place poker at the end of the game)

I concur with the poker thought, but I have no idea what you're talking about with the point system...how do you play poker?

You pick up a card every mark (strike or spare) you get in the game, then after the game is over, you play poker with the 5 cards you have in your hand. If you get a 6th, 7th, etc mark, you can pick up a new card, but you have to discard one to the bottom of the deck.

I am in, and I second the poker game during bowling

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Beer frame????

I'd say I'm 50 / 50 right now. I'll get a better idea once the date gets closer.

Also, COF, can you find out a head of time if that bowling alley has Twisted Tea?

On a side note, I was at a candlelight bowl last Saturday and the same thing happened to my shoes (ones that I own) that happened to Zach's friend at Hoops. Damn things threw off my game .

Sadly I will be staggering to and from Metra trains to various bars along the NW line starting at 10 that morning.

Is Drinky doing one of his Metra pub crawls again? Is Moretti's on the list of stops?

Count me in on bowling, sounds like fun.

Count me in for now. BigFan is going to need to enable a calendar feature for events at this rate.

I guess you can count me in for now as well

There will not be bumpers, correct?

Please count me in for this. But good God, COF, can you not get something just a bit closer for us fellow DeKalb county dwellers...not that I'm expecting Aurora, but maybe a closer, centralized western 'burb like Elmhurst or something? Oh well, I look forward to putting some faces to names and such.

North & BeBe took me to The Veranda next door years ago -- still there?

we could just do Mardi Gras...or Huskie Lanes... I've given up on centralizing board events for us suburanites for now because it seems like the majority are way in east in the city or even Indiana. But one day, we'll do something in St. Charles...there is a board event on the 21st of Feb. in Naperville...

I dunno if Drinky is doing one or not. This one is non-Drinky related. Moretti's wasn't on the list last year. I haven't seen the new list yet.

Count me in as well. I think I could manage to knock over a few pins & knock down a few cold ones.

Important questions.

Handicaps? Physical or mental?

Will we pick teams and keep them? If so I want Elmhurst Steve on my team. Even if he doesnt show up.

If I am really good, will you all be jealous of me?

I love that movie. Renactments are on tap for that Saturday, I hope...
