Alli After Dark: Nike 6.0 Bowling Party

By day two the intensity level at the Wendy’s Invitational had easily doubled, and the after dark activities were no exception. Nike 6.0 threw the official after party at the Grand Central, a huge venue complete with bowling, pool, free food and drinks. The Vert skaters, Dirt riders, and any athlete not qualified for a final, met up with friends, media folk, and industry people to celebrate another day of living the dream. By 11 o’clock the place was packed with athletes, ladies, and party people leading to an increase in fun, but a decrease in such things as available ice and glassware at the bar.
