WELLLLLLLLL

As a registered Ohioan and owner of several bowling shirts, a decent average and a company that sponsors a bowling team. (The Ceiling Rats)...yes - it will work.

Anything works with the right advertising and bowling is something that is purported to be returning to popularity as video game freaks are now raising children that scoff at their parents' digital ways.

I have a couple of genius kids working for me that mastered all forms of computer gaming and are conquering presences there... but... whisper the word "bowling" to them and they'll bolt for the alley like young Earl Anthonys.

A horrible thing in Tampa called "Channelside" asked our company to help them create their overall plan - which we did. They ignored us and are now empty generally.

At first, my guys, 7 of us, walked into Stumps Supper Club with our bowling shirts on and everyone there looked at us oddly... now - 3 years later - Stumps is building a retro bowl alley across from their "tacky-chic" restaurant-bar in order to try and create what's hip.

They now know what we knew then: fun is fun. Retro is fun. ( We live in the capital of the "rave" scene and the "goth" scene and those people are just NOT having fun.)

A well run Tiki-themed Bowling alley, in a place that's accessable, will work... and if you have good food, a liquor license and a GrogLog it will work even better.

Make sure you get some design input from the artists here. They're the best in the world.

I'll bring my team down there and we'll kick your ass, by the way.

Mai Tais paid for by the losers... ehhhh?
