| Post subject: | Bowling VI? Date 11-11 |
It's high time for this and I've missed at least two of these events. If we're all lucky, I'll find the videos I had of the first two Bowling events. This event has been a fine chance to see various board luminaries and also a chance to see your sports radio personalities. Past radio attendees: Fred Huebner Silvy Drinky Baldy McGrindy and various producers and more! So an alley needs to be picked, since the last one I organized, the alley has closed (skypoint for Don's Piracy) Maybe even SHARK will show up! Or OKC. I plan on keeping this close to the city. I know this will not make Chus happy but hopefully a compromise can be reached. Post your best Saturday(s) as well in November. We'll go with the most popular. |

I didn't complain about the location of the first two events. The third and fourth were completely organized by me, so naturally, I set it up near me. |

Is that joint up on Harlem Avenue still open? Really couldn't be an easier place to find and get to even if you've never been in the area. |

Circle Lanes in Forest Park would get my vote. It's practically in Oak Park, about 2 blocks from the Oak Park Metra station (or CTA Green Line Harlem stop), and a very short train ride or drive from the city. |

The Harlem alley was MontClare, and it closed a few years back. Circle Lanes would work for me. *edit; Checked their website and it should be noted that CIRCLE LANES IS CASH ONLY |

You were put out that you could get better deals and put it in an alley that you knew well but I pushed for the city. Not a big deal. |

The only thing that bothered me was somebody asking one week before the event why it wasn't in the city. We talked about it for weeks, and found a time and place that worked. This person said nothing in the planning stage. I had no issue at all going to the city or Oak Park, other than both houses were absolute dumps. One didn't take debit/credit cards. |

they were both decidedly dumps. Glad to hear you're not put out to be closer to the city. Any other alleys, boys? (or girls) I can't put a poll up but I'd say let's shoot for the second Saturday in November? |

11-11 works for me. I could give you a few easy pointers to get going, Furious. I never have been as good as Boyd or CHUSE, but I did carry a 180 average in my heyday. |
