After dinner, we decided to put the kid in bed (along with his grandmother) and go out and do some fun stuff.  I remember the bowling place (I think it was TEN park lane or something) we went to last Thanksgiving, but when we arrived it looked like Cam Newton was there signing autographs.  The place was mobbed.\n\nSo we decided to look for another bowling alley, and this place came up.  The nice thing was when we arrived, it wasn't crowded like the other place was.  There was 10 or us, so we needed 2 lanes.\n\nNow here is the interesting thing.  The pricing.  I know it was Saturday night, but I thought it was somewhat pricey.  For $20 PP, you got 2 hours bowling, and shoes- that was it!  No food, no drinks, no massages in the back, no nothing extra!  To me, that was pricey.  I would only expect that at a boutique bowling alley- but cmon, this was an AMF.\n\nwe got set up in lanes 6-7, which kind of sucked- as we didn't get two lanes together (2 separate returns- 5-6 are together, and 7-8 were).  I mean we were next to each other, well shit- I guess you have to be there to understand what I am talking about.\n\nYou could choose theming on your machines, that was interesting.  We kept ours on medieval theming.  It was then time to bowl.  Finding the oil patterns were tough here.  In fact- it was the worst bowling I have done in years (I am not saying that either to be funny- it really was).  I couldn't blow the pins over to get a 100.  It was embarrassing.  In fact, it was so bad, I needed a drink.\n\nSpeaking of drinks, I noticed when other members in our group were gone, they were gone for a while.  I was not sure why.  When I went to get a drink, I noticed why.  The bar area was tended by one person- but he wasn't swamped.  This lady in front of me ordered a huge drink that looked like a urinal cake with pineapples and a maraschino cherry.  6 minutes later, I just wanted a damn pitcher of Bud Light.\n\nI couldn't wait any longer.  At this point, I didn't even want a glass- I was ready to drink the pitcher on its own.  When I had my first sip- I damn near spit it out.  The Bud Light really did taste like Bud Shite.  And you know the worst part?  I ended up drinking the whole pitcher- I knew it would not get any better.  \n\nThat night was one of those instances that thankfully I was with wonderful company to keep my mind off the negatives- because when I bowl badly and drink bad beer and high prices, that makes for an angry Tom.  Thankfully the place was clean.  I will give it 2.5 stars.
