caitlinb - i'm a little confused - the top of the post makes it look like it's at imperial lanes, then says the location's tentative..?

Me votes for Imperial Lanes.

Well, the location is tentative, but Upcoming.org doesn't seem to have an option for "to be determined."

I happen to like the idea of Imperial Lanes, because I'm coming from Mercer Island, but I can see it creating transportation issues for some.

I vote for Imperial Lanes, as well, I'm coming from Madrona. Plus the nearby Baskin-Robbins means I can bring an ice cream cake (cuz, ya know, bowling alley food doesn't do much for me)...

That should be I can do...

Let's just go ahead and decide on Imperial Lanes.
Not that I've ever been to Seattle or anything before. Any decent restaurants nearby? Yey for $40 dinner budgets from corporations :)

Can anybody give me a ride to Seattle from Olympia?

Sorry, blasdelf. However, I can take up to three people from the Everett area on south to the site and back again. I won't be drinking and am not sure how long I'll stay, but hey, at least I can get you there.

Out of idle curiosity, is someone doing some sort of headcount? I think, between this thread and the older, that there's about a dozen or so.

I volunteered earlier to do the headcount and reserve the lanes. What I need to know is a proper person-to-lane ratio... Like 5 to 1? 8 to 1?

Looks like Imperial is having a Mother's day special that day. Anyone want to pretend to be my mom and bowl for free?

I'll probably be coming. If anyone needs a ride from the east side, that might be arranged.

I just reserved three lanes for Sunday at 7pm (using an estimate of 15 people attending).

I'm coming down from Bellingham on Sunday morning. I'll probably have at least one other person with me, maybe two.
