Maybe we could have it just a little further east ... like, say, in New Jersey.

I won't commit to anything until after the SB but I may be interested depending on the day.

JLN: OVER THE LINE!
LTG: Huh?
JLN: I'm LTG, You were over the line, that's a foul.
LTG: Bullshit. Mark it 8, Dude.
JLN: Uh, excuse me. Mark it zero. Next frame.
LTG: Bullshit, bigot. Mark it 8, Dude.
JLN: This is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules. This is a league game, this determines who enters the next round robin. Am I wrong?
LTG: Yeah, but I wasn't...
JLN: Am I wrong?
LTG: Yeah, but I wasn't over. Gimme the marker Dude, I'm marking an 8.
JLN: LTG, my friend, you're entering a world of pain. You mark that frame an 8, you're entering a world of pain.
LTG:: I'm not...
JLN: A world of pain.
LTG:: Look, Dude, I - This is your partner...
JLN: Has the whole world gone CRAZY?! AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE RULES?! MARK IT ZERO! MARK IT ZERO! [points gun in LTG's face]
YOU THINK I'M FUCKING AROUND HERE?! MARK IT ZERO!

I feel like these events should be as close to downtown as possible since that is kind of the centerpoint of our community.

I mean, I dont go to many of these so I dont really care but I think you'd get a better turnout that way.

110 miles round trip for me. I would consider it if the date is in mid to late February. Had a good time at the last one which was about 9 years ago best
I can figure.

My preference would be to avoid the Edens and Kennedy, but whatever is consensus. Who lives in the City proper that would attend anyway?

I live further west than anybody but RFDC so Elk Grove works for me. But the question remains, most of the guys are in or near the city. Does that work for them?

I'm in, if the weekend chosen is good for me schedule wise. Life is pretty crazy right now and has been for at least a year now.

Elk Grove Bowl is in the center of most of us. It is right off of both 53 (via 355) and 90, and not far from 290. It is also the alley I've been to a good amount recently and it is decent. If I'm setting up the event, the familiarity gives me some comfort. And I can work on some pricing.

I'm flexible as an attendee, if someone else has a home alley they prefer and want to put in the effort of setting something up. Just want to get the....ball...rolling..........

Be sure to check out the old murals by the gambling machines where everyone looks decently gangster.

Oh, and avoid the pizza place in the strip mall (Vini's) as I traditionally referred to that place as "the Elk Grove Cardboard Factory"

I pick up some stuff from Jarosch every month or two. Awesome.
