red stripe. hooray bowling!

ad league bowling is awesome. it's like having two awesome things in one, advertising people and bowling. like peanut butter and jelly in one sandwich. almost as awesome as when i'd play halo with student government kids in college.

pretty much every ad agency and editing studio in minneapolis has a team. campbell mithun has two since they are so huge. the league takes up all 30 lanes at memory lanes. i've been in ad league bowling for 4-5 weeks now, and it's had been going on 4-5 weeks before i even joined. when i first joined the other campbell mithun team was ahead of us and we were placed 16th or so out of 30 teams. and i'm not making any claims, but since i've been on the team, we've moved up to 7th place and passed up the other campbell mithun team. it makes ad league bowling awesome.

another thing that makes it awesome is a bowling pin with not one, not two but probably 6 red stripes on it. every lane has one of these pins. if you're lucky, the pin setter will place that pin up front. then if you get a strike, you get a ticket. and with that ticket, you can win a t shirt. i know that's a long story just to say you win a t shirt, but i have striked my way to 3 tickets and 2 t shirts in my short ad league bowling career, so the red stripe pin and i get along quite nicely.

i bet walter ray williams jr wished he could win an ad league bowling shirt.
