Hey kids,

You guys wanted something to do other then eat and drink? Well here ya'll go! GWsuperfan and I are happy to bring you Fark Bowling.

IamAwake: we should totally make it a fark anaheim-police protest party. I'll bring a couple dozen Guy Fawkes masks. Everyone have their body armor avail?

police beatings for everyone.

suare99: holy crap...happy bday GWSuperfan...are you who I think you are who lived at the Bon Wit?????

Yep. That was me. (In another life, it seems)

martissimo: make me some tea: We were thinking about changing things up with FARK parties a bit. Like instead of meeting first at a bar and staying there, meeting at a museum, or a zoo or a movie or something, then going for drinks after. Some people don't really drink much (or at all) so they might get more out of that sort of gathering.

Just an idea.

Check out a place called "The Cliff" it's on PCH in Laguna Beach, it has an indoor bar, a a outdoor restaraunt, and a lot of places in a small plaza area, with art galleries and shops and stuff, a little something for everyone, even outdoor firepit type things if the weather needs it at night, neat area

Boycott "The Cliff" until they bring the "Subsonix" back on Thursdays

Or, you could do it in a place that was interesting, diverse, or had some culture.

But that would exclude all of Orange County, wouldn't it?

Ha! I uh..

Except for garden grove and Anaheim.

Dang! I'm going to be at the Blues Brews n' BBQ thingy at the Fullerton Arboretum that night. I was bummed I missed out on the last OC Fark party and told myself I wouldn't miss the next one. Aah well.

All points South of Tustin seem to pride themselves on being boring pre-planned cookie cutter neighborhoods. I don't get it and it's not my bag, really, but it works for some folk. General rule is the more North you travel in the county, the less homogeneous and more interesting and diverse it gets.

Kwality Assurance: katemonster: Irvine Spectrum is a pretty easy area to get to from pretty much anywhere, and I don't think that counts as south county.

Also, if we do it on a Saturday is north-ish county, I'll probably hit up Knotts Berry Farm earlier in the day if anyone wants to join. You can get coupons for cheap day passes from Ralphs and various stores.

I'll go. I go to Knotts almost every Saturday with my son from about 10:00-noon. We hit about 15 rides with no lines and then we go across the street to Soak City. I've been trying to get to a Fark party for almost ten years. Some time maybe someone could plan a Friday one? I always have the kid on Saturdays.

Forgot about people with kids. Sure. We will definitely look into that

Gyrfalcon: Oo, where?

Check the top of the thread (or the Facebook event). Both have been updated. Irvine Lanes.

GWsuperfan for the Save.

Awesome! Fark party 5 mins from home...color me there!

I should also mention that my goal all along was to arouse a community to action, A community that I knew, was already there, and to facilitate other SoCal (and beyond) Fark parties in the future, I won't always have time, school is starting soon, the Next one GWsuperfan and I have planned is in Halloween most likely in Oceanside.

I'm very fond of both of the hosts. Funny and charming folks they are.

I certainly would be there (where ever it is) if I were in the neighborhood.

Have fun kids. stay safe. And as importantly, stay foxy.

Host me in NYC and I'll have a party there buddy. Plus I get to see you before FarkCon

Cyclonic Cooking Action: I remember drinking quite a few beers outside Irvine Lanes and the roller rink when it was still sitting there in high school.

You all should go to the Iron Mule, though I think.

Ah memory lane...

RareChimer: Right down the street from campus... as a relatively unknown Fark-liter, my partner and I may show up, not announce ourselves, and drink/bowl the night away in parallel.

Note to non-locals: The boomers is dirty as all hell. Don't bother. And had this been set for a Tuesday, there would have been Food Trucks out in the parking lot.

The reason I have it on Saturday is that people work and Tuesday is a school/ work night, I'm willing to do a Friday party to mix it up, food trucks would have been really nice.

Should I go to this? I live in Irvine. I don't know anyone on Fark, though, and I'm not a famous member or anything.

I didn't know anyone when I went to FarkCon. It's okay I'll be there, everyone is really nice

Just FYI, folks- I took my free bowling pass to the local alley this evening and bowled a 136 as my warm-up. I need to get into the consistent 165-175 range in the next two weeks.

Sunday night Reggae at The White House right down the street still fun...

Sucking at bowling is half the fun, you sound like a cast member of The Big Lebowski, and it ain't Jeff Bridges

Ahh I don't really mean that just a touch drunk this evening, ohhh hell yeah I mean it, nah no I don't you bastard, just don't pee on my rug

/getting awfully close to Shabbos too
//no rolling on Shabbos

You local?

Not currently but my fiancee lives close, so I spend a fair bit of time in the area, I'll be a local soon though!

It's a fun place, We are in sleepy hollow

Getting better with practice. I rolled a 170 today. Yay for 25-cent games at the local alley.

I'm terrible at bowling but I think I'll be there.

GWSuperfan: Getting better with practice. I rolled a 170 today. Yay for 25-cent games at the local alley.

I'm so proud of you

I call the shuffleboard tables.

aerojockey: I call the shuffleboard tables.

It's at a bowling alley, not a retirement home.

I did marathon bowling tonight- 13 games. (it was $20 all-you-can-bowl)

Average: 172
High Game: 211
Low game: 143

moosesashi: Dave & Busters at the Irvine Spectrum would be a viable option. Don't know if I'm actually going to go though.

Dave & Busters seems like it'd be a bad idea for a group of strangers many of whom had just met. You're running around D&B now you gotta find your unfamiliar group members again.
