Our long awaited shirts are approaching completion, here’s a sample of what the back of our shirts will look like:

Many thanks to Ryan Is Hungry who filmed another fun night at Palo Alto Bowl for Bowling 2.0. This is a great video of Team Skype and Team PB Wiki dualing it out on the lanes…

As part of a podcast segment on Tea Time, they asked me a few questions along the lines of “What’s happin’” in sunny palo alto, tune in to some details on how bowling 2.0 got started. Or just make fun of my stutter on the segment intro.

a9 takes the lead and veeceebo is trailing in 12th, you would think we ranked the teams alphabetically…..

So we had a mention in the Mecury News today where a number of teams were profiled. However, at the time of publishing, they seemed to have made an error with my name, calling me Vinnie “Tortelano” which is pretty far off from “Lauria” but at least it still falls into the same ethnic pool

Another name mistake takes the cake though, pbwiki’s name is displayed on the alley boards. The alley mistook their company name for pbwili.com! There’s no domain there yet, but I have a few thoughts on an interesting web2.0 site that could fill pbwili with more then just P&B.

Ohh, and the stats from week #1 are up.

Hey folks, our next game sets of tonight at 7pm at Palo Alto Bowl (4329 El Camino Real)

I swung by the alley last Thursday to see if they had scores tallied up yet, but they were having some computer issues (it’s that old pre 1.0 technology.) I’ll be able to pick up last weeks scores tonight and post them here.

Team Women 2.0 consists of two members from Linx Dating LLC http://www.linxdating.com and the Mint pages.

Amy Andersen is founder and CEO of Linx Dating LLC and Rory Van Nest is one of Linx’ matchmaker’s.

Linx is an exclusive, by-invite-only, Bay Area based dating and social networking society created for the “marriage minded.” Linx’ main target of focus is linking the Silicon Valley male to the San Francisco woman, but is not limited to those specific geographic regions. So if you happen to be single and bowling with us, don’t be shy, introduced yourself and you might get an invite to be linked.

The Linx network deals with a very high caliber mix of sophisticated eligibles. Everyone has an exceptional background, great job, excellent education, many interests beyond the scope of their career, as well as, physically fit and attractive. As part of entrance into this private society, each client goes through a detailed admission process of being prescreened, interviewed, and being sponsored by a current member in the network.

Linx is offline, pursues zero advertising and can be considered the “hidden” source for exclusive Bay Area dating. It is based on a large network of friends and referrals to their most eligible friends. Members reap the benefits of services that go way beyond the scope of the core of the matchmaking business, including:

• Link & Drink networking events, newsletters, concierge services, society clubs, and participation in the beta release of Linx’ website. In fact, Amy is hard at work on her second venture which will carry over core principals from the offline model, yet to the online world.

Andersen and Van Nest are both alumni of USC and raised in the Bay Area. Andersen is from Marin County, lives in Palo Alto and LOVES the entrepreneurial environment the Valley has to offer. Van Nest lives in San Francisco and enjoys the warm climates that PA has to offer too- so making the commute is no problem (or at least she says). Both ladies love social networking, spontaneous social circles ignited through bowling, a good sauv blanc, hot eligible men/women, and the end to a long work week.

Are you linked? Get linked and come say HI to us . We’ll be the ones wearing Women 2.0 shirts, so given that it is mostly men, it should be obvious.
