Two quick items to mention...

Jillian's HiLife Lanes in Neonopolis sucks. Sucks bad. Not only were the lanes the worst lanes any of us have ever seen, they also screwed us on their sponsorship. In exchange for banner advertising (which we provided), Jillians had agreed to comp our bowling for the evening. Not only did they not comp our bowling (they decided only to honor the agreement if we put ten people on one lane), they actually overcharged us. So Jillian's HiLife Lanes in Neonopolis gets added to the list of places we invite our readers to throw shit at as they drive by.

(Our apologies to the staff, Nina and Todd, who were excellent).

Item number two - we wish to apologize for not getting the photo sections updated as frequently as we would like. Between sporadic internet connectivity, traveling, bowling, and perhaps a bit of drinking, time has been tight. Once we return to Chicago we'll make sure we catch up on all the photos and stories we have. Until then, you'll have to watch the next episode of Ed to keep you occupied. Will he choose the lovely Carol Vessy this Friday, or the mildly psychotic Frankie? Somebody please tape it for us...we forgot to set our VCRs before we left.

In brief, we rolled into Las Vegas Wednesday afternoon, and promptly bowled a few games at Castaway's lanes. The we headed to the incredibly sucky Jillians, where we bowled and drank with Poizen Ivy and her gang, Elvis, and the Las Vegas Police.

We then stupidly went back to Castaways and bowled a few more games at 2AM.

We'd love to go into more details right now, but we have to grab the Castaway dinner special (2 T-bones and a bucket of beer for 12.95) and catch the lounge show, Sixties Mania. Should be good.
