the sport of champions

what is thrift bowling, you ask?

i asked the same question when my roommate Sarah informed me of the planned event. lindsey and luke had put their heads together to determine a suitable activity for friends from our tuesday night bible study.

lindsey wrote: “Thrift Bowling includes getting together with a bunch of people, picking names from a hat & dressing the person that you picked in thrift clothes. Then, we go bowling.”

i was tired after a long week on friday night, but determined i would at least join in some of the fun, since our thrift store was the attic of a missions guesthouse just around the corner.

it turned into quite an evening . . . outfits were chosen to properly humiliate the wearer, pictures were taken, bowling alley attendants were amused, and a good time was had by all. i highly recommend it.

Luke took a bunch of pictures which are here.

A few highlights:

Trying things on (check out Tim’s white shoes and socks in the background):steve/bec
Sarah’s sombrerosombrero

jeff’s leisure suit and wig:jeff

the whole group:group photo
luke trying the sombrero (it was a popular item):luke hat
the frey siblings:freys

    Hey Christiana, are you going to be around the 12th weekend and the 25 weekend? Cause I will be there and if my memory is right Josh will be there the weekend of the 25th. Maybe we can all do something. TA TA for now
