My friends and I were looking for something a little more low-key, so we headed to Tempe Village Lanes on Rural and the 60 at 10pm on Friday. If you have never been to any sort of midnight bowling, the alleys usually turn up the music, turn off the lights, and use black lights to give the alley a more festive feel. Despite their best efforts, it's still a bowling alley, and the food is gross. Xtreme bowling is more about having fun than bowling well, and it's a good thing too - it was a lot of fun, even though I am convinced that I am the world's worst bowler.
Getting three gutter balls in a row is somehow less embarrassing with black lights and Britney Spears' Toxic blasting in the background. The night is a great chance to chat with friends while you wait for your turn - or in my case, another chance to embarrass myself. Just be sure you don't invite anyone too serious about bowling - it's hard to concentrate when your giant bowling shoes are glowing.
