Cosmic Bowling Night at the Circle Bowl in 1999

it's a friday in late 1999, and it's cosmic bowling night at the circle bowl across florida blvd from the cortana mall. you're at your friend cameron's birthday party right before christmas break. the faint wafts of stale camel blues and spilled miller mingle with the sticky chocolate sheet cake and hours-old pepperoni pizza. you laugh as cameron throws the ball so hard it bounces out of the gutter into the neighboring lane, and you're relieved he liked the booster pack of pokemon cards and the droid fighter lego set from star wars episode 1 that you got him for his birthday. the dj tonight was nice enough to mix some "oldies" in for the parents, in addition to some of the favorites of the past couple years to usher in the turn of the millennium.
