Skee Ball Musical

It had been a rough couple weeks for the Lindskee’s and when the night started there were doubts that these hours would really be the happiest.

But it was March (our current favorite month of 2008) and, happy hour or not, we were going to make our own fun. Luckily, upon arriving we soon spotted a sight for sore eyes.

With our beloved coach Jerry Juice double fisting the night had nowhere to go but up up and away. Our rolling wasn’t the best, so we did what any reasonable adults would---transform the night into a live musical for all the bar to behold.

It started with just a minor tease to Maggie and the skee ball lane. Some say it was the electric blue pants, some say it was the copious beer intake, but all I know is that we had no idea where this night would take us.

This is made all the better by the fact that there is not really a dance floor and there wasn’t really music playing…

As Eric showered Lex with dollar bills, the rest of us looked on with love. Bryce was stunned, Kim was in awe, and Kalen had that “I knew it all along” look of a proud friend.

Being the ever talented bunch we are, we decided that the bar’s lame sound system just wouldn’t cut it. If they couldn’t play our favorite booty songs on repeat, we would make our own band. Jerry Juice took on the keyboard and Kim played a delightful flute. Plus, that deaf, drunk, and blind lex sure plays a mean guitar.

Upon seeing how incredible the air band was, Kalen forcefully rushed me into the bathroom for a private performance of her own air-inspired dance. Fortunately, Ace Bar has a Tim "the tool man" Taylor Enhanced Dryer in their bathroom. Unfortunately, a moment like this simply does not translate well through a camera lens so you will have to use your imagination. It is safe to say I was blown away (full pun intended) by the image of Kalen crouching under a hand dryer with reckless abandonment. It was glorious, but apparently quite challenging as Kalen soon collapsed in blissful exhaustion onto the trash can.

In the end, we learned an important lesson--Everything is more fun if you’re dancing. Especially if you are "I'm not drunk" Alexis…

Skee you next week.
