2023 MLF Winter Aluminum Man
Marti Leider was the third of four children, following in the footsteps of her older brothers Rob and John (with John seen here getting rad, to the right of Watermelon Guy, in the 1980s). He established the original Aluminum Man, a competition that involved three sports (aided by a few drinks) performed at the highest levels of skill and BAC.
WINTER ALUMINUM MAN
The rundown: We’ll be bowling, playing pool, and throwing darts, in that order. Here are the location with links:
How much will all this fun, friendship, and karmic goodness cost? Not much! Click the link below to see options for full participants (which includes all fees for competitions, super solid MLF swag, and two drinks at the darts honkytonk) and spectators (which includes swag and participation in whatever sport you can attend).
Q: Do I need to be good at stuff?
A: Frick no! None of us are really good at bowling. Pool will be beginner friendly, i.e., no break shots. Darts is a reason to watch the NFL divisional playoff games without morally supporting the NFL. Awards will also be given to non-winners.
Q: Can I drive?
A: Parking will be readily available at all spots, including an entire lot for bowling, and these locations are all right off the expressway. (Disclaimer: If you overimbibe, you’re more than welcome to crash at our place. We won’t have Fight Club-like dorms in the basement, but we’ve got couches, inflatable mattresses, and the such.)
Q: What if I don’t like fun?
A: You know what? We all knew this about you. You’ve arrived here by mistake and you should go back to your non-fun-having habits. This is a charity, but we’re still a hard “no” on social anchors. Let us live.
Q: How will the competition work?
A: Glad you asked. Here’s a rundown. Call off work Friday so you can practice. If you can’t make it this year, call off Friday so you can practice for Winter Aluminum Man 2024.
