Bowling Alley Owners/Managers
« on: June 18, 2005, 12:21:25 PM »
I'm starting to think about what I want to do after I graduate High School (you know, as a summer trip kind of thing) and I was wondering how many of you would be willing to let someone wash pins or do other odd jobs around the alley in return for three games of bowling . . . The reason I want to know is that I am thinking about maybe doing something where I try and bowl in as many of the states as possible . . . Taking an old RV of some sort, and a friend or 2, and then going and driving from alley to alley . . . In return for allowing us to bowl I was thinking of maybe making a website that gave a short write-up of each alley with some pictures and a rating of some sort (maybe like the 1-10 pins review?) that did a bit of advertising for the alley . . . Or, since if I have an RV it will probably be an old beater (there is one for sale here in town) and maybe we could paint the alley's name, address, and phone number on it or something . . .

LMK how many of you would possibly be interested in doing this . . . It's 2 more years, but I'd like to see if it's a feasible idea.

Kansas . . . but the trip would include more than just centers in Kansas.

Will do Ex . . . We know it's quite a trip, but we're bowl-aholics . . . And all teenagers need to go on at least one crazy trip . . . So why not combine the two and make it a bowling tour? LOL. This will not be for about 2 years though, since we just got out of 10th . . .

As for visiting every house in Kansas, some older man who was a member of a club did that for an assignment about 5 years ago or so. He bowled at least two games in every center.

Yes, we know this . . . That's why we are shooting for a series in every state . .  Or something like that.

Some guy did this a few years back...

It still sounds like a good time and like a worthwhile trip.  The guy that did it before was a recreational bowler, so it would be cool to see it from a competitive bowler's perspective.  You could really learn a lot through such a trip!  Best of luck!
