Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling.

That really has become my attitude on most evenings now. I get off work and all I can think is..fuck it. Time to get stoned and bowl.
Tonight I'm headed out to my favorite bowling alley - it's my favorite because it's old-school, not all bright and ritzy and glitzy with laser lights and shit. It's a classic bowling alley, it reminds me of those gloriously erotic opening shots of balls and pins in The Big Lebowski.
Time to beat my not-so-high high score of 161. I fucking love getting stoned and drinking pitchers of Budweiser while bowling.

Do you pay overly high prices for pitchers of beer as bowling alleys here? I think its like 6-7 for a pitcher of warm budweiser.

Nah I use a 10-pounder.
And McKenna, it's 9 bucks for a pitcher here. By NYC prices, that's actually really, really good. And it's not warm, either.

I have a 16 lb. ball I like to handle... The thumb hole is getting a bit worn though and tends to be too slick. I've almost lauched that ball in to the next lane on accident because it slipped.
Pitchers here are $5... they aren't really cold though.

Visit sometime when shit has settled down. 
Yos - we don't usually even head out there until 9 o'clock cause I can't be pulled away from the computer before then. Usually we don't leave till midnight or 12:30.

I used to take the first girl i ever loved out on dates to the bowling alley. We would get high out of a coke can in the alley, and than go play in the arcade. Those were good times. Now they have a bar that is left unattended in the back corner. To be 13 again...

Around here, you can't bowl at night unless you want to experience "Cosmic" bowling. This is unbelievalbe (i dunno if they do it at your lane, Robot), but they turn off all the regular lights and turn on about a billion black lights, strobe lights and lava lamps. They even hang disco balls on the ceiling...it's a bit distracting bowling at what feels like a rave. I bet it would be wild on some E, but bowling = chilling for me, and that's no way to chill.
The stupidest part is I live in IOWA, where you'd think they'd have the lowest tech, most satisfying bowling in the world. Oh, but pitchers at the lane are only four bucks !

You gotta go Gillette...it's a damn good time, even if you suck at first, which I definitely did.
DickDiver - yeah they have "cosmic bowling" at another fancier place, it's like 20 bucks for an hour.
