So Anime Bowling Night attendees here is more info on the event. Go back to previous posts for info on contests and raffles.

- Something I'm looking forward to play in and see , Mulit- Anime Bowling Night dedicated lanes with animes being played and anime music to listen too. Each lane has its own big screen at its end and we have 8 lanes to party in.

- Photo background, take a nice snapshot of yourself in cosplay to remember the night.

-The main events are between 5pm and 8pm, but XLanes doesn’t close until 1 am. 

-We suggest waiting for a group of 5 on 5 foe bowling matches to make them more exciting. Why go head to head with one person in cosplay when you could be enjoying it as a group?

Prices for a game $5.50 per game

Shoe Rental $3.00

Billiards $12 per hour

Don't forget the deals

Those coming in cosplay will get one free bowling game. Those showing a 2013 AX badge will get a free shoe rental. One deal per customer, one free game or free shoe rental not both.

Arcade is card based point system. You can put between $5- $20 on the cards

All ages welcome

Reminder don’t bring any weapons that AX didn’t peacebonded, if it wasn’t acceptable at AX it’s not acceptable at XLanes, you’ll have to stow it in your car. If you don't think AX would let it in, Xlanes wouldn't either.

Remember will be having contests and prizes too, check the earlier posts or go to the event page above for more info
