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.
