Thu March 24 at 7:00 PM, North Bowl
909 N 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA, USA (Map & Directions)
It has been way too long since we had a Philly meetup. I vote bowling at that awesome place in Northern Liberties.
I could bowl. Not well, but, y'know, with enthusiasm.

I would bowl, albeit poorly. I do like North Bowl. Probably the Mrs as well. Well, as long as it's after the 19th, because that's when the Mrs is officially becoming the Mrs. But don't schedule on our account.

Tentative Yes, depending on schedules, phase of moon, other variables. Sunday evenings are not good for me.

Would Thursday 3/24 or Friday 3/25 work better for people? Show of hands?

Sometimes I still read your meetup threads to imagine how much fun it would be to see everyone again, even just for a meetup. Sniffle... sniffle...

I'm down for either date, sounds fun.
I have to ask: why has no one turned on the piratebowling signal?

Yes please!! I am definitely planning for there to be more tater tots than we can advisably eat without assistance.

The earliest I could get over there would be 9:30pm since I work late but I'll gladly come out if people will still be there at that time.

I am visiting Philly for a few days and *might* stop by if my planned dinner starts late. That area is pretty safe for walking (single female), right? People tell me to stay out of north Philly, but it seems like that's referring to more north, like around Temple?

bread-eater, the bowling alley is in a neighborhood called Northern Liberties -- totally fine for walking around solo.
For the most part, the neighborhoods in Philly give you some warning by way before they shift into "not so hot" walking territory.

I used to live literally next door. Yeah, it's safe. Well I'll be there if people will actually show up this time. Besides, you all owe me some beers.

Is it wheelchair accessible? If not, no biggie. If so, I will try to curb my flakiness and show up.
To eat tater tots. I think that wheelchair bowling would be a caution. Although I have a relative who is urging me to learn how to wheelchair fence. But then you just have a light sword thing.
Anyway.

Hey angrycat! Northbowl is, in fact, chair-friendly - there's a ramp to the lanes. So come on over!

Hmmm... I would love to come, but I don't know that I will be able to extricate myself from kids (especially if they know that bowling is involved!) (and tater tots!).

Dudes. I was gleefully figuring out how I could work this in my chair, but I was felled by food poisoning earlier this week. I'm fine now, but I totally have to get on top of stuff I've neglected this week. Sorry I can't be there.

Just got here if anyone is still hanging out. Keep your eyes peeled for the chap in an ameican flag bowling shirt and say hello.

Had a great time, thanks to all. Especially enjoyed the promised tater tots (voted best tater tots by the WTTO!). I'm not sure who all heard me babbling about movies so here they are: Ink, Endhiran & Pontypool.
