I LOVE SKEEBALL.  There, I said it.  The thrill of the lights, seeing the tickets spew forth from the machine after each round, releasing a half-assed throw but then getting lucky when the ball rolled back down the lane so I had a second chance. I even had a game-playing strategy:  find my sweet spot by rolling the ball to the right side of the lane with such force to propel the ball up off the bumper and into the 50-point hole.  I don’t remember my all-time highest score, but I do remember the best prize:  a mini-fan that ran on batteries that my mom let me clip to the dashboard of her car all summer.

Tonight (Wednesday March 11) we’ll pit the San Fran players against each other in skeeball at the Buckshot Restaurant, Bar and Gameroom.   Good luck teams! If anyone scores a perfect score (450, or all 9 balls in the 50 hole), there will be a prize, but I can’t promise it will be as cool as the mini-fan!
