We played the lanes at the Big 20 in South Portland the other week and I am still getting over the embarrassment. Candlepin is by far the most difficult form of bowling I have tried and slumming it in five-pin and big ball have ruined me. Wooden gutters. Here is a short short movie from the bowling - perhaps my greatest work in the genre to date: [1.9 MB]
