Size 9, please.
The bowling alley is set to close at the end of the summer. In its place will be some sort of lame corporate playground. It may try to be classy but how much classier can you get than beer served like this?
Glen, Jane, Alex, and Anne can not believe that Joe said he was only going to bowl a 32 because he is on fire!
Mary, "So when do you think Rafael Palmeiro will get his 3,000 hit?"
Youthlarge bowls like Keith Hernandez.
Did Jane just bowl three strikes in a row?
Hojo's Time!
Summer Dan! How much longer can the moustache stay?
We find out that we have arrived in the nick of time. The restaurant will close for good on Friday!
Our polish bartender tells us that he is mad at his boss because when he was hired a month ago, he was not told that the restaurant was about to close. Balgavy tries to chat him up but it goes nowhere. Although we do find out that the bartender finds people from the Czech Republic to be very friendly.
Balgavy bought that shirt at K-Mart right before bowling. It works perfectly with the beard.
I love the mirrors.
Those coat hangers are dangerous.
Too many cameras.
Sarah From the Future stops by unexpectedly -- that kind of shit happens all the time with time travel.
Goodbye Hojo's, goodbye!
This was only the third time I had gone to this particular Hojo's but it was always nice to know it was there. The first time I visited was during a 7th grade Teen Club trip to New York. Our tour guide loaded a bunch of kids on the bus after seeing an Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors to descend on what he said was the best place to go in the entire city.
I'm sure that the Friday's/ Olive Garden/ Çhevy's that will take Hojo's place will be just wonderful.
For more pics, check some of these from Amy F. I'm sure Balgavy will post some pics soon as well -- if we can just pry him away from podcasting.

That picture of me looks like I'm doing a crazy chicken dance or something. I was actually leaning on a glass partition.
Kudos to Summer Dan for organizing this fun evening. I must say, however, I can't get worked up or sentimental about HoJo's closing. That place was kind of depressing and nasty. Not that the forceful cheeriness of Ruby Tuesday's or the other shit chains that dominate Times Square is any better; but that whole neighborhood is such a nightmare of touristy soullessness that I'd rather just forget it exists at all.
did anyone take a picture of the bathroom? i'm curious. i was afraid to go. btw, i'm kind of intrigued that you spelled Chevy's with a cedil for some reason, but i'm assuming that was an accidental keystroke?
I love that we're referred to as your "posse." If that means I can get a Summer Dan t-shirt with membership, coun't me in.
