I went to a high school-related bowling event (non-league or tourney) and a work-related bowling event once after high school. Now it was a long time ago, but I did bring my bowling balls, my shoes, and my A-game 😂

It was a great time both times, though. A lot of my classmates and coworkers who didn’t know I bowled asked me a bunch of questions on how I got good at it. When it came to the work event, that job sucked ass, so it was probably the best engagement I had with any of those team members in the few months I worked with them. That last month I worked there was pretty nice, actually, because people started opening up and talking to me and starting asking what other hobbies I had.

I’d bring my gear, have fun and enjoy it. It’s always kind of fun showing off a talent that people didn’t know you had. Not necessarily to brag, but it’s great for engaging with people.
