Why go Bowling in Brisbane, Queensland?
Remember sitting just inside a bowling Alley when you were younger, trying on the bowling alley’s shoes one after the other, because their shoe size doesn’t convert to any known country on the planet? Hasn’t it been too long?
What makes a Ten Pin alley in Brisbane unique you ask? Nothing, except perhaps everything, since no two things in the world are alike. OK, my face is on the pins now, I get it. But you’re here in Summer, because you’re a cliche – what’s a great place to listen to music in the afternoon and have a drink in the cool indoors? With me here?
Do you really consider yourself to be above this activity? Who are you? What gave you this supercilious nature, and how can we remedy it? Simple – gutter ball after gutterball, and exclusion and name-calling by your friends, who in the third game change your bowler’s name to ‘Sir Bowlsanot’.
Wait a second – do you even know what bowling is? You’re glib… you don’t know the history of bowling. I do. It all started when a milkman found out that there was a really great frog at the house he often visited on his route, and then he stole the frog and made it his pet. Somehow the empty milk bottles were involved, but he named the frog ‘Gutterball’, and history was born.
You can zip through a tenpin Brissy as a day thing, but you can also love the nightlife wid’ it – Different centres have karaoke, some even sell alcoholic beverages. Others are more basic, but nonetheless it’s the veritable bowling experience you deserve.
Bowling alleys can be difficult to pinpoint when you’re traveling, indeed, Brisbane has a few concealed in suburbs (which can be a bother to get to) But do it – you’re going to have a great time. Most of these alleys, by the way, you can just turn up to – at peak times, although, remember: You ought to ring ahead to book a lane. I would personally recommend one of the night bowling bars too – they’re similar to a nightclub, but then unlike a nightclub, all of the attendants are patrons and indeed participating in a group activity. It’s a true experience in its own right if you’ve never tried it.
Most places are equipped with deals that are almost always of the variety ‘3 games is cheaper than 1′ (this is a good number regardless, you use the 1st for practice, the 2nd for more practice and the 3rd for feeling terrible about not having enough games left). Remember, you don’t need to pack food, because there’s often a restaurant attached, so don’t worry about playing during eating hours.
There’s really not much to prepare for in terms of bowling, but bring socks for hygiene reasons, and if you’ve got a bad back, err on the side of a lighter ball – heavier balls are always exciting but a lighter ball will keep your back out of trouble while giving you a chance to work on the finer points of your game, like your spin and your run-up.
You remain a traveler. You require activities? What do you do? Bowling. Travel to the alley, deploy the balls, experience the magic. You are the creator. Tell some jokes to the androids, they mill and they prosper with different mouths. Bowling, yea bowling.
