Bowling on Tuesdays

[JProtege]

Hey guys, I just wanted to let everyone know that my wife and I go bowling on tuesdays with my sister and her husband.

It all started cause her husband is part of dcsportsbikes.net and they all used to go bowling in centerville.

anyway, we go bowling in dranesville now; right off of rt 7.
If anyone wants to come, that'd be great. If a few or more people come maybe we can turn it into a mini-meet or something.
nothing formal, just a reason to go out and do something.

We're there usually at 9.30p and we're there till around 12am, the alley closes at 12.30a

Games are ~6.50 each person, for unlimited bowling until they close starting at 9pm . . . shoes are extra, but i dont know how much cause i own my own.

Sounds like fun. Shoe rental is $3.50 or so there.

oh yea werd.

I-66W to rt-7W
then you just drive on rt 7 (you will pass through tyson's corner, which is where i live)
after you drive under fairfax county parkway (7100)
you make a left on Dranesville Rd.
Then after you pass through a light-controlled intersection, make a right onto Woodson Dr.
You'll already see it on your right after you make your turn onto Dranesville

It's about 20 miles from arlington, but the drive on rt 7 is slow and yucky, but good for gas! (~50pmh)

Here's the address also :
46940 Woodson Dr
Sterling, VA 20164


EDIT : After we get a rough number of people joining, i'll call ahead to reserve lanes so that we don't have to wait in line.

Under a rock.

It wasn't actually a rock, it was one of those key-hiders that looks like a rock.

 

[iLisa]

Glad you are back Joe.. so when are you coming out to a meet again?? soon I hope..

 

[JProtege]

OK as of now, i'm goin to put 6 on the list (myslef, my wife, my sister, her husband, LisaKay, NoComment). I'll be there around 9pm this tuesday. If you guys are still goin, make sure to tell me if you are goin to bring people with you so i can add more to the list. If you're not coming, tell me so I can go in and not wait outside.

I'm goin to park my car in the front parking lot, not the side one; My car will be as far from the entrance as possible, you won't miss it.

Hmmm, Sounds like fun. I'm not sure about this week. But, do you guys go weekly?

Hope they got shoes for me. Last time I went bowling, they didn't have any 13s (shrug)

 

[ashutoshsm]

Nice - probably not tomorrow, but I'll probably crash this some Tuesday in the future!

And that Dranesville Bowl America has bittersweet memories for me - its where the guy who bought my Protege first met me for his test-drive

 

[JProtege]

My sister, her husband, my wife, and I go weekly so anytime you guys wanna join the 1337 bowling just say so.

I can't make it out this Tuesday because I got lots to do this week before the BIG car meet in NJ this weekend.. but i'll be there soon!

 

[Katya4me]

I think my roommate and I might join you. Want to come to the NJ meet this weekend?

 

[JProtege]

you asking me? yea i was going to plan on going but it's a real long drive . . .

 

[Katya4me]

Yep, I'm talking to you.
About 20 of us are caravanning up together, spending the night and coming back Sunday. There's going to be about 75 Proteges all together. Join us, it'll be a blast. PM me if you want any more info.

 

[JProtege]

OK for this evening i'm still reserving 6 spots (minus LisaKay, plus Katya4me). I'm assuming nocomment will be joining as well. Anyhow, like i said before . . . i'll be parking in the front lot, but far from the main entrance. Also, again i'll be there around 9pm since Courtney(my wife) won't be watching american idol tonight.

Katya, i'll be speaking with you more about the NJ meet tonight if you show as well; otherwise through PM.

EDIT: i just called and the guy said reservations must be done 3 days in advance. So basically that means when i'm there at 9pm tonight, i'm goin to put my name on the list for 6, and about 30 mins later, we'll have our lanes.
Also, It's goin to be raining tonight so I won't be standing at my car; i'll be hangin out at the entrance.

 

[Katya4me]

Sounds good. I look forward to losing tonight.

 

[ukqueen]

hahah.. i'm an expert at loosing at bowling too. sounds like mad fun. Does any one have the directions coming from Manassas please?

 

[JProtege]

depending on what part of manassas, you may want to use 66W to get to rt 28, otherwise . . .

rt 28North -> 7100North (Fairfax County Parkway) -> rt7West -> left on dranesvill rd (it's the first light after you hop onto rt 7; it comes up real fast, so you have to merge like 3 or 4 lanes over right after you get on rt 7)

EDIT : my cell is 703-380-0109 if anyone needs to call me. btw my name is John, so you dont call me and ask me who you just called
