July Mixer | Bowling, Arcade, Karaoke & More (Burbank)

**\*\*Event is cross-posted with other Meetup groups; there will be members from other groups\*\*** Join us for our July Mixer at Round 1 in Burbank! This venue offers bowling, arcade games, karaoke (private rooms you can reserve) and much more. **Meeting Location:** We will be meeting near the Round 1 Burbank entrance facing Cypress Ave. (be sure not to block the entrance) **Payment**: This is a counter service venue, which means everyone will pay for their own foods/drinks at the counter. **Seating**: Seating is first come, first served - I recommend you arrive a bit early if you'd like to secure a table. I am only one 1 person and cannot secure a table for the entire group. **Parking**: Free parking at the parking structures nearby. **Guests**: Attendees are welcome to bring a guest. **Bowling**: Attendees can form their own groups/teams (no more than 6 people on each team) or I can help you find a group. Groups/teams will be responsible for putting their name down at the bowling counter and coordinating shoe rental, paying for the game(s), etc. Be sure to bring cash, as they do not allow everyone to pay separately. I have scheduled the event during non-peak hours but there may be a wait for bowling. **Arcade**: Attendees must buy game credits from their counter (next to their bowling counter) before you can start playing their arcade style games. **Karaoke**: Attendees can book their own private rooms for karaoke. You might be able to reserve in advance if you'd like (I recommend calling the venue and verifying beforehand if you're interested)... More details will be posted here on the event page as they become available. [More info about the venue](https://www.round1usa.com/locations/041btc)
