B-I-N-G-O...not your Grandma's game

So I went to play Bingo with some people from work and some of my friends tonight. We went to the hardcore late-night bingo session, the one with the big prizes that goes from 10:30-2am. So I got my little card and a dabber ink blot thing and go and sit down. I didn't really do too well, I can pretty close to winning a few times and I'm sure I'll win next time (Haha) but the thing that amazed me most was how prepared some of the old ladies were. Like, this one lady sitting across from us was totally ready for anything! She had a bingo bag, which I never knew existed before now, but its this amazing little bag that holds all your little ink dabbers and then it even has a pocket in the middle for anything else you might need. Well this lady must have needed like 20 bingo bags because she had about 8 dabbers around her in a little half circle (to keep her fellow bingo players from copying? ) and then a Beanie Baby and a bottle of water, a glass of juice and a little zip lock bag of snacks....now that, is hard core bingo. Either way, I was hella jealous because she won and I can only hope that I end up cool enough to be playing bingo and actually win when I'm old.

So for those of you who have never been to a Bingo Hall I strongly encourage you to go because it is way more intense than it sounds. And even though it might be sad that at almost 18 years old my idea of fun on a friday night is playing bingo, its pretty fun when you're with friends...see what happens when you live in Edmonds?...Oh well, only one more year until I can Party like a Rockstar in college. Totally dude!
