Bowling Takes a Holiday

Since AI-VII, with 2 exceptions (1 for lack of energy and 1 for a computerized simulacrum) we, clad in Goodwill-chic shirts, have entertained ourselves on AI Friday night by hurtling heavy reactive resin orbs down brightly waxed floor boards toward plastic/maple pins with the occasional pin actually struck by the hurtling orb.  As the AI's have come and gone so have some of the participants.  Some have feigned injury, others predicted injury, others claimed religious proscription or dietary restriction.  Even with jars of Advil, the stress and strain of rolling two consecutive games while participants' minds are more focused on memorizing lip-sync songs has simply become too great a burden - at least for this year.

And so, The AI Concert Committee in conjunction with The AI Bowling Council, is announcing the second ever AI Concert Night.  Veterans of the AI will remember (?) seeing Springsteen in 2000 (maybe) at the now razed Amway Arena (since replaced by the cleverly named Amway Center).  For AI-XXII we will somehow get ourselves to the local venue known as The Plaza Live to witness the staggering (a multipurpose descriptive) performance of Bruce's buddy Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes.  In preparation for those under the age of 65, The AI Archives Committee suggests listening to the band's masterpiece, "Hearts of Stone".  Alternatively one might choose to drink heavily prior to the show.

In the meanwhile, here he/they is/are in all their glory doing Bruce's "Talk To Me"
