Saturday, to celebrate the birthdays of two dear friends, our whole big crew of goofballs went bowling. The whole idea of bowling is awesome, isn't it? It's probably not a particularly thrifty activity, but for someone who likes scouring thrift stores for vintage finds, it has quite the retro appeal, even if I'm not good at it. At all. I scored 80 points in the game Saturday, and felt good about it. I even got two spares! But the real point of telling you all this is to share the pictures! I posted the pictures of people having fun on Facebook already, but I saved all the kitschy goodness for you all!

The moon through the window of the van on 70 north of
downtown, on the way there. |

Crest Bowl, in Florrissant, MO has an awesome
old mid-century sign. LOVE IT! |
 |
And look, the moon made it into that shot, too :)
So you know I had to give him some up-close attention! |
 |
| Look how handsome he is! |
 |
| Check it out - a bowl-relièf! |

I don't know what the key is to, but I LOVE the keychain!
And look- tiny pencils! They play a part in the two kitschiest
family activity/sports in the world. I heart tiny pencils. |

| Concession stand, and the bar/pool-hall entrance. |

Look at all the colors! Why don't they make
footballs and baseballs in lots of random colors,
with swirls and sparkles and stuff? |
 |
The Glow Machine was not old - it's a vending machine
for glow-sticks and whatnot. But it LOOKS fantastic. |
 |
| Cute mural. |
 |
I love bowling shoes! You have no idea the amount of personal
restraint I have had to exercise not to sneak out with them in the past. |
I just have to say...isn't the moon a girl? I mean we were just French majors, but come on! :)
ReplyDeleteNope - the moon, while a feminine noun in the romance languages, is most definitely male. Check children's song: "Mister Moon, Mister Moon, you're out too soon, the sun is still in the sky. Go back to bed and cover up your head and wait until the day goes by." See? Clearly proof! :D
