Went candlestick bowling with my uncle Buddy and some others. It’s really weird, because the pins are very small and thin, and the balls are shotput size and weight… maybe bocci ball-like. When you knock the pins down, too, they stay in the lane, so you can hit other pins with “dead wood”. Scoring 100 is pretty tough. I have to say I think I like it more than regular bowling.
Went to McT’s for dinner and then headed to the lounge for some drunken karaoke. It’s pretty weird being drunk around your family. I treated the audience to “Under the Bridge” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and “What I Got” by Sublime with my cousin John. Just about everyone else in my family sang too. It was a lot of fun.
My cousins John and Bill grabbed me and dragged me to the club across the street called “Old Timers”. I think we were there for a couple of hours but it seems to have gone by pretty quickly. It was nice to go out dancing; it’s been a while since I’d been.
Crashed at John’s place.
