View Full Version : Any Ideas?
OK here's the deal, I'm way the hell up here in North Branch and not to many people wanna travel too far, so some of us have been talking about the possibility of a MnPoc bowling meet but our issue is a place and time that'll be beneficial to everyone, like i said before we would get a hell of a deal with bowling and booze if we had it up here at my dad's place but i wanna get everyone to be able to participate. So somewhere down in the cities for some bowling and mabey one of you city folks would wanna host a after bowling shinnDig at your place:thup: I'm open for anything:)

There's a REALLY cheap place to bowl in Columbia Heights, off of around 48th and Central. Not the greatest crowd/atmosphere there tho.
Otherwise, I hear Flaherty's (I think thats how u spell it) in Roseville has good bowling, or there's White Bear bowl in WBL....
I don't know where most of you are located, so if I knew maybe I could look up a centralized location.:eek:
Let's Brainstorm real quick:
Me: Maplewood
Lancimus: Monticello
Cam: Northbranch
Rybs: Eagan (I think thats where he said... somewhere in the south suburbs)
Andrew(If he wanted to... he hasnt said anything)Lakeville
Wow. we're pretty spread out...

Flahertys!
All college kids love to go get drunk and bowl there (AT least all the kids from my college)
Since everyone lives in the surrounding areas, the cities seems like the place to have it. I'll post possible centers.
burnsville bowl? is that still open i wonder?

This is where i bgan my bowling career, my dad also worked there. It used to be Well Fargo Lanes but the bank entitled Well Fargo bought out the rights to the name, but this place would be awespme for the meet, awesome BAR!!!!!!
also Flaheretys sounds good cuz i like what Defiler187 said about the hostile crowd and shitty atmosphere:lol:
Rumor has it Wells was just remodeled with synthetics.

I normally only have weekends off in the summer, so a Sunday or Saturday night, preferably (OR I get off on fridays at around 9-10, so around 10pm on a friday would work too)
The further south we go tho, the further away we go from Cam.
Thats true but i dont mind the drive as long as it deal's with Bowling and the possibility to get trashed:lol:

OR we could have it at the bowling alley in columbia heights and the after party shindig thingy whatever you called it at my house with a bonfire ... but no inside acess except for the bathroom ... it was very embarissing for the two idiots. But I have the bonfire and for you 'young at heart' theres a play ground in my backyard and possible a trampaline if I can talk my parents into setting it up.
just a suggestion...

You guys do know what the neighborhood is like in Heights, right?> I mean, the pool hall where the shootout was at last year is only 2 blocks down the road, and I wouldnt trust any car but an old GeoMetro to be parked outside for hours on end. Lots of Asian gangbanger-wannabes in that area....

No, it's just that I have 2 buddies who've been carjacked around that area. I used to live in Heights back when it was a good neighborhood, and I really wouldnt feel like getting shot just because I cant speak Chinese, Japanese, Laotian, or whatever the fuck it is they speak. That and really, if you have nice cars, you would run about a 50/50 chance of it either being broken into, or stolen parking it there for hours on end.
I don;t have a 9mm or anything to take along, otherwise I wouldnt give a shit. Little Asian wants to cop some shit, I'd just pop his ass. Being as thats not an option...

I almost got carjacked. Funny story too! Im pulling through a alley after dropping my friend of like four blocks down (cut through to save time). Two or more ppl jump in front of the car, one trys to open my door. My door was locked, but the pass door was unlocked. The probes fortuneatly had seperate locks. I flew out that alley, only to see two cops chillin on the car. So I flash them and roll down my window, and proceed to tell my story. The cops pull me out of the car and proceed to pat me down and ask me about drugs. Long story short, I wasted like 20 min with the cops while the weirdos got away.
