anything once: indoor 3d glow in the dark mini golf

My dear friends Arabella and Shep recently packed up their apartment and their doxie and moved to Jersey, where Arabella will be commuting into New York to continue acting. This would upset me more if she was not wildly talented. Instead I'm kind of excited for her in the midst of missing her. 


Anyway, as part of their farewell fiesta, a group of us went to King Neptune's Indoor 3D Glow-in-the-Dark Mini Golf (which I'll henceforth refer to as KNI3GitDMG) a couple of Saturdays ago. To be clear, I've been mini golfing before. But I'd neither been indoor mini golfing, 3D mini golfing, nor glow-in-the-dark mini golfing, so this was a triple first. For those of you who aren't from Virginia Beach, I should explain that Oceanfront tourism here centers around one theme: The 80s. It's a nice theme, which allows for places like a cheesy Haunted House, a kitschy pirate themed ride, mini golf courses with motifs that range from Top Gun to the jungle to KNI3GitDMG, and souvenir shirts with crude sayings scrawled onto black shirts in neon graffiti font. Arabella and I have wanted to go to KNI3GitDMG for a long time, and I knew this was one of our last chances.

Please excuse Eiley's laser eyes of creepiness.
Please do NOT excuse the shark. Marvel at it.

I have to get to the point now. KNI3GitDMG. was. awesome. Everything is 3D, which totally doesn't make sense until you get there and put on the 3D glasses and stare at the neon decor. Mind blown. The second to last hole had such intense 3D effects that I felt, for the first time in my life, what it must be like to be on some kind of drug. This flat, stationary platform looked like it was floating and had stairs. I very nearly fell over. I believe, my friends, that I was trippin', yo.

So unimpressive without the glasses and black light.
You'll just have to believe me.

Have any of you ever played an entire, serious game of mini golf? I usually make it to about the 5th hole before things get out of hand, and this night was no exception. For one round we all spun around our club three times and golfed backward between our legs. For another, we ditched the clubs and went skee ball style. For a third, there was choreography (the peril of mini golfing with actors). I'm fairly certain I lost in the end though. I'm just terrible at mini golf.


In conclusion, I heartily recommend this first. I doubt I'll be repeating it, but it was still awesome. Even Eiley liked it!

Glowy!
