Celebrate an orgy of suitable pairings any old Sunday night with the Eagle Rock Bowling and Drinking Club at All Star Lanes. Yes, it's a gathering of individuals dedicated to drinking. And bowling. And bowling while drinking.
You may have to rock a delicate balance of hip arrogance and soul-withering humility as you slip into a greasy pair of rented shoes, but you'll be strutting like a peacock knowing that said rental was friggity-free with the $5 cover charge. You'll be strutting like a drunk peacock after indulging in the Eagle Rock-cheap drinks—no Cinespace $10 well drinks here—and you'll be bowling like a drunk peacock (read: poorly) but it really won't matter; because games are only $5, there are bitchin' indie bands playing, there's karaoke in between sets, and a you're visualizing yourself as marginally flightless land bird.
The Nixes, a delightfully folky foursome, hold the residency spot all through Rocktober, so check these peeps out; we were sold within seconds of clicking on their myspace page.
Also, pencil in the Eagle Rock Bowling and Drinking Club's Halloween show (OK, technically on a Wednesday), as it's co-presented by Radio Free Silverlake and the darling Jax over at Rock Insider and features the Henry Clay People, Radars to the Sky, the Monolators, the Natural Disasters and many more lovely L.A. indie peeps. Seriously, write those names down so that next year, when they start getting big, you can brag that you used to bowl with them.
It's safe to say we'll see you there. We'll be the ones bowling like drunk peacocks.
Alie Ward is events editor for Metromix Los Angeles and a very bad bowler.
