I vaguely remember sometime in the early afternoon, 3-ish maybe?

They have a small room where you can ditch your luggage until you check in if you want so you don't have to be trailing it around.

Buttons anyone?


If Bryan donates his awesome art skills to get a cool design we could party in London and advertise KATG at the same time (unless we make complete fools of ourselves which is a distinct possibility).
Costs are about 1 EUR a button and we would have to order 1st week of June to get them in time.

Yeah/Nay? Is the beer giving me crazy ideas?

Let's check into this....I will tomorrow if work is slow...

They seem to be a German company - at least shipping costs are lowest for Germany.
Buttonorder.de - der Spezialist für Buttons in Perfektion

I would be more than happy to order them but we need a cool design to use.
I think something a little more bold (less text maybe?) would be good but we could always just take the poster Bryan made.

Just heard back from the bowling place,

They only let you book for one hour on Friday and Saturday nights, so we can't do two hours.

Do we still want to go? I've got to book it this week

How abouts one person books for one hour and another person in the group books for another hour? We'll trick 'em with our mad skillz.

If not then one hour is still good for me, should be enough time to kick everyone's ass << them's fighting words, getting ready for it already .

I second Archi's thoughts. As for them fighting words, bring it on shorty!!

Goddamn, how busy does it get? I've never seen a bowling alley with more than 2 people in it down my end.
I'm willing to up some cash for a pre-book, how much is it?

OMG mind trickz. I say we do that. An hour isn't enough.

Last time I went, we had two lanes of 6 people, and the games were done in around 40 mins or so. An hour is plenty of time, and I think by the end the novelty of hurling a heavy ball down a greased lane had kind of worn off...

So if Matt books one lane, and someone else another, we can get two teams together and bowl side by side. Sound good? It's easily done of Saturday when they don't take advanced bookings by turning up a few hours before. We turned up at 7 to book lanes for 9:30, for example. Went to a pub round the corner in-between.

Booking Two Lanes is no problem, in fact they have me booked in for two at 6pm, I just can't book a group for two hours.

If we really want to bowl for two hours then someone else would have to book two lanes at 7pm.

Unless anyone objects, I will ring them to confirm my booking tomorrow.
