That party is always the best! Great to see all the friendly folks, and
get to play a boat-load of pins!
The Zen tourney was a hoot...definitely some scoring surprises there.
And..for those of you "girl power" advocates: out of the top 10, there
were 4 girls (including the entire 5th place team).
Oh yeah, I promised NOT to mention how awful Eric A. was in the
tournament. I'm a man of my word, so I won't say anything about his
pathetic display. =)
Very cool to see people drive in from all over the place. Not sure who
came the farthest, but I'm guessing the 6+ hour drive by metallik had
to be close. All in all, I think there were around 40 different people
that showed up throughout the day...at least by my unofficial
headcount.
Thanks again, John!
Groovy!!
