Bowling league is back: bigger, better and braver than before!

Oh my stars, we are so very excit­ed to announce that the Welling­ton­ista Bowl­ing League for 2008 is about to start. Next Thurs­day Sep­tem­ber 25 to be exact, at 6.30pm at The Lanes on Wake­field Street. What does this mean for you/your organisation/social cir­cle? It means that you have to find three friends to form a team (or more, mem­bers can rotate in and out at will), come up with a name and reg­is­ter here before next Tues­day 23 Sep­tem­ber so we can come up with a table and you can start insult­ing your com­pe­ti­tion.. The league will last for as many weeks as there are teams (with a max­i­mum of eight teams due to the space I’ve booked), minus one, as we’ll play round robin.

The rules on the night are as fol­lows:

• If at the end of the game your team’s sum total (total of all four play­ers) is high­er than your oppo­si­tion’s then you get four com­pe­ti­tion points.
• If your team con­sumes more than four bev­er­ages (or aver­ages more than one per play­er) you get a bonus com­pe­ti­tion point
• The team with the high­est sum total on the night gets an extra bonus point.
• There will be one ran­dom league point award­ed on the night in an area of our choos­ing. The first one will be for the best-dressed team.
• Trash-talk­ing AND frater­nising with the ene­my are both high­ly encour­aged.

So if you booze up and roll like a god your team could come away with sev­en points.

We real­ly did have a tremen­dous amount of fun last year, made new friends, busi­ness con­tacts and drink­ing bud­dies, so what are you wait­ing for? Sign up already!

Tid bits and tasty things

• If you’re in town before 6pm today, sneak into the Soft­ware Free­dom Day at the Michael Fowler Cen­tre for a free Havana cof­fee. Don’t tell them that I sent you though.
• The pre­vi­ous­ly men­tioned Kayu Man­is (you’re a manus!) — the Indonesian/Malaysian restau­rant on Cuba Street is now BYO, which makes its $18 mains much more palat­able. Also, the food is super fresh tast­ing, and the atmos­phere is much nicer than your stan­dard Malaysian joint, so we sug­gest that you check it out.
• The fre­quent­ly apos­tro­phe-cat­a­stroph­ic Elec­tric Avenue now sports a ban­ner adver­tis­ing its music quiz on Thurs­day nights as being the only music quiz in town. Appar­ent­ly Abel Smith Street, home to the music quiz on Thurs­day nights at the Cross is a sub­urb.
• Radio Active 89FM’s Han­dle the Jan­dal, the nation­wide DIY music video com­peti­ton, is back for 2008 and is call­ing for entries for this year’s com­pe­ti­tion, to be held Novem­ber 27 at Welling­ton’s St James The­atre. Go to Radio Active’s site for more infor­ma­tion.
