    It's basically bowling with a softball sized wooden ball and smaller pins. For about a 2 year period we spent damn near every Friday night hammered at the Silverton bowling in that thing. We found a trick to the machine so that we could bowl for free for hours. Too bad Darius Rucker bought into the Silverton and basically turned it into the Hootie and the Blowfish casino. That place used to be awesome!

    Oh!!! I think I've done this before when I was just outside of Boston many moons ago. I thought it was only a New England thing, have to check it out the next time I'm there.

    :lol: Hootie and the Blowfish....gotta say though it's my favorite place to play Craps!

    Vegas story..

    Was with my wife and we thought we would go see Sheryl Crow at Cesars. Didnt have tix but ended up running into some older dude with a girl on each arm probably escorts (no this isnt leading into some crazy orgy shit) who also had 2 extra tix. He gave us 2 free front row tix and vip status. Show was great and we ended up getting backstage which was Crows trailer in the back lot. Talked to her for like 20 min. The guy was some industry dude who used to be a writer for RIP Magazine and she new him by first name. Think it used to be an old metal mag back in the day. After the show this guy was like.."Do you guys smoke weed?" I was like yup..Still remember this bud to this day..The finest cally kind bud from humbolt co. that tasted great. We hotboxed it in his BMW in the parking garage. Then we went to the spy bar for many drinks.

    The two escorts..not sure what happened to them. They disappeared during the show.

    Nice!
    The Vegas-unexpected is always waaaaay more fun than the Vegas-planned.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol: It's so true!!!!

    I guess that's one reason why Vegas is better - in NOLA there's cobblestone streets everywhere...makes my faceplanting problem increase tenfold!

    just read that unemployment in Vegas is highest in the country and that home values are down 60%. Glad I got out when I did.

    I'm glad you all like the place....but, man, it grew too fast and, beyond the glitz, it's a pretty seriously fucked up place.

    Las Vegas sucks for bachelorette parties. :evil:
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Thunder was one of the things I wanted to go to for my bachelorette...or Seigfreid and Roy. That was my only request.

    Stupid 'friends' spent the better part of the night at a friends' house scoring coke while I sat in the hotel room waiting for them until 11pm. Thunder's last show was at 10pm. I asked a bunch of bartenders where to go see hot guys, they just laughed and said "they all went home...only ugly guys out now" .

    NO, I AM NOT BITTER :evil:

    They do, in fact, solve everything!

    Speaking of, you know you can order the mixes online? I've done it before and they're delish. Currently have a Mardi Gras discount going! http://www.fat-tuesday.com/site.php

    yes, seriously. :x I didn't even partake in their 'festivities'. I would LOVE a bachelorette re-do! :D

    and DS, have I told you about my Hurricane story? It's not pretty. (I DID have an authentic Pat O'Brien's in NO...I think there's a pic of me out in front of it)
