Notwithstanding $6 all-you-can-eat chicken wings, attendance has been light lately.

After GUPPY EFFECT band practice today, we decided to go bowling. However, it was league play, so we couldn't get a lane. Instead we played shuffleboard and darts, both just as fun, and cheaper too - although the money saved went to buy more drinks, which our kidneys turned into urine.
