"Your roll, dude."

We're going to hold the first ever UKAZU Gutter Ball Open: Amateur Bowling Fiasco on December 26th. It's going to be somewhere in Le Phoenix. The event will consist of bowling with people who aren't afraid to have conversations with people who aren't afraid to wear shoes that other people wore recently. I've still got some organizing to do, but I need to know who's coming with me. Feel free to invite your friends.

For people who are afraid of bowling, people, and other people's shoes, there will be domestic beer and select imports to ease your jitters. People who are afraid of beer will have to rely on their own fortitude and brace themselves for sobriety.

For those of you who think that all UKAZU events must involve fine foods, there will surely be a wide variety of cultural treats available by vending machine throughout the evening, and until approximately 10pm the snack bar will serve pretzels, french fries, nachos and hot dogs. Extra nacho cheese can be added to any item for $.50, and chili can be added for $1.00.

I will also do my best to ensure that our bowling alley plays rock music, preferably at considerable volume.

Registration for the Open will be open through the 23rd of December, at which point it will be closed. If you want in, which is to say that you don't want to miss out on what is sure to be a bitchin' party, please send me an e-mail with your name and an idea for a team name. Your name will help me remember who my friends are, and the team names will help me get psyched about how badass this evening is going to be.

Please also indicate in your e-mail whether or not you would like nacho cheese and whether you'll be renting shoes. I can't really help with either, but I'm interested; I care about you.

Don't misread me. I'm seriously serious about this bowling thing and I think you should be involved.
