Birthday In Style

Friday night we had a traditional birthday gathering for myself with our family of friends over at our house. We had food, drinks, and gifts. The party really got started at about 9:30 when we headed off to the BINGO hall! Yeah, that's right, I was down for some birthday bingo.

Let me tell all you doubters that bingo = good times. We went to a bingo hall I'd never been to before, so we didn't really know the rules and such. But, once we found out that it was BYOB and you could bring in food and coolers, we were sold. There were about 12 of us there playing our little bingo hearts out with the certified dobbers, except J-Rock used the computer - yes bingo has gone high tech.

The payouts range from $250-$750, but none of us won. Good thing it is cheap to play or there might have been some sad folks. The best part of Bingo is the people watching. I LOVE the crazies. There were people in wheelchairs, walkers, old people, kids, fat people, asians; basically, you name it and it was there. Pure greatness.

In summary, my birthday was awesome. Bingo is awesome.
