I started making excuses long before we left. I haven't been bowling since I was a little kid. I didn't quite believe him. Cozmic bowling is more about getting down than knocking down.
People actually dance in the aisles.
Strawberry-scented smoke spills from vents over the lanes. Disco lights spin green and red circles across the floor. Blacklights cast an ultraviolet sheen, turning yellow, orange, pink, green, purple and blue bowling balls into fluorescent orbs. Bass vibrates beneath my feet to tunes from Prince and Michael Jackson. She's lounging at a table with two friends, smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer and waiting for one of the 40 lanes to open.
