Bowling is the new ultimate. 12/27/2007
 In a town that claims the most ultimate frisbee leagues per capita of any place in the US (at least according to Outside Magazine), it seems that bowling has taken over as the sport of choice. Perhaps it's the weather. I spent a couple of hours at Yankee Lanes last night and can attest to this fact. The place was packed. The lanes were filled with awkward high school kids and old league night guys alike. My group was squarely in the middle of it all. The best thing about this place is that they slap a florescent wristband on you once it has been deemed that you are old enough to drink. It lends a night-club aspect to the whole affair. The waitress informed us that on Friday and Saturday nights, the black lights fire up and the strobe lights start spinning for disco bowling. Dear God, let that be true.

I believe I'm the reigning champion out of the four of us in our two outings, and plan to hold my title...although, you will have your league competition to brush up your skills. Maybe a gentlemen's wager will be in order for a future rematch. How about loser buys a round of giant $4 Miller Lites at the Stadium. Mmmm. Thirsty already...
