I am down for watching some hoops. Like I said earlier, there are places we can go that are a short drive from the bowling alley. It's not that bad to get from Palestine to West Chicano. 53/355 to 88 to 59 is mostly highway driving, and there shouldn't be much traffic around 11 AM.

It wouldn't be too bad from Palatine but I am coming from Canada. Should be a straight shot down and
with the IPass I should be able to get there in 90 minutes or so. Looking forward to it. I rolled a few
weeks ago and forgot how much fun it was.

The date is rapidly approaching. I am going to call the manager on Friday, to let him know how many lanes we will need. So, please let me know by Friday morning if you plan on attending.

Looks like first game Saturday tips at about 3:20 for those interested after bowling.

I bet we'll be wrapping up at that point. If we move the party to a local watering hole to hang out and watch some of the games, I would think we would be there no later than halftime of that first game.



I dunno if we're betting or doing a tourny or what with this bowling on Saturday, but there will be a mystery pot that I encourage you all to get in!

Also,

Bowling Green has TV's. I'm sure you could catch the first half of early games at the bowling alley if we are still there.

I have to leave by 3:30 so, no basketball for me.

How is construction around that area if any at all? I don't think I have ever
even been around that general area before so I am driving kind of blind.
Looks like without any major troubles I should be able to get there in 90
to 100 minutes. Also, everyone have a ride? I may be able to help out
a bit if it's not too far out of the way.

edit: Coming from far northern burbs ( Canada )

None in the general area that I am aware of. I live within 5 minutes of the bowling alley. Plus it's Saturday. There shouldn't be any construction that would cause a delay on a weekend.

Good to know. I was going to try to use the wife's Garmin which would make things a little
easier but I am not sure it automatically gives you a different route if there was construction.
Should be easy enough, I am decent with directions.

Not sure I can make it out that early. Ill try but if I cant ill join you guys when I get there.

I dont care if I bowl or not, so if it makes it easier Chus, just leave me out.

We can add you to one of the lanes when you get there.

I usually park on the west side of the building, and enter through the west doors. Go through the doors, and walk down past the counter, and the bar will be on the left. We can meet up there.
