Hometown/Downtown - Palm Beach Strike Zone with Cobra Starship

I should have been a rock star! I totally would love to have girls freaking out and crying when I walk through the door. Girls might freak out and cry when they see me now but not in a good way.

With Cobra Starship coming into town to “Make them good girls go bad,” while bowling a round at Palm Beach Strike Zone, I knew this was an event I couldn’t miss. A taste of the rock star lifestyle.

Plus, who doesn’t like tossing around some pink and blue balls?

Local radio station Wild 95.5 was running a promotion where 12 finalists would get to meet the band, get free tickets to a Friday performance in West Palm, and the lucky bowler with the highest score after one toss would get to bowl one full round with Ryland, Alex, Nate and Victoria.

Brianna Sullivan bowled a six, then a strike to take the top spot and hang with the group.
Whether it was guitarist Ryland Blackinton talking to fans’ friends on their cell phones to prove they were actually with the band or bassist Alex Suarez taking 10 minutes out to sit down and talk with the winner, Brianna, Cobra Starship left their loyal faithful with an afternoon they won’t soon forget.

In the end, starstruck Briana did not take down Cobra Starship on the lanes and it was Nate, with a 126, who was victorious. Alex came in second with 115 and Pete Wentz aka Ryland bowled a 94.
