Made it home about 1am last night.
Good to meet some new people and see SrK again.
Here's a interesting difference in the arsenals brought: SrKegler had a 10 ball (12? 26?) tower of Buzzsaw's (in the anchor configuration
), Toasty73 had a Blue Hit, a Red Hit (one of the Hit's drilled very negative), and a Golf Ball.
I'm sorry to say that we did not witness a SrK tap.
Must be a first. His son came closer than he did. I'm sure he would have scored higher if he wasn't switching balls every 2-3 frames. Are you related to Nicanor?
Leftside did not hit a monitor with his backswing, but he did try to throw a ball through the sweep. Thank goodness Toasty didn't try. We would have had to chip in for a new sweep. I guess he figures if he misses, the breeze might still knock the pin over. Actually, the lane was cycling on it's own, but I like to believe that a lefty doesn't need to look at the lane while he's throwing.
AllStar23 would have shot some big numbers except for some of his artwork spares (same conversion rate on those and his 7 pins). J/K, solid spare game (for a lefty
).
Kendog threw the ball well, but had a little trouble with over/under. A little polish on his Blueberry Buzzsaw helped a bunch. If Ron C helps him as much as he did me, Ken will be shooting big numbers soon.
I knocked down enough pins (good thing I got there early enough to pay a guy in the back to trip the 3 scragglers that should have stood half the time), but I was impressed with the messengers thrown around by the 3 lefties. Also, the only time a lefty played down the boards was Toasty with his Golf ball.
Too bad Tweener2K and IceEmQuick couldn't make it. Oh well, more homebrew for me.
Hey Tweener, Tampa is easy to find your way around in; the only u-turn I made was because we went past the strip of restaurants trying to decide.
Had a great time, just wish we would have more time to sit and talk more. Seemed like everyone had somewhere to get back to.
