Burgers, Bingo, and Brews

Not sure what possessed us, but last night we took advantage of a community benefit for the local senior center: "Burgers, Bingo & Brews."  This is something that is completely out of character for us, especially due to Desi's fear of the elderly, but there was no fighting her genetic addiction to bingo.  Plus, for only $52 (for both of us) we received entertainment (in the form of playing bingo and also watching people play bingo), food, and beer.  

Many quotable lines from the night, including "You only need to fill one box on your special" and "it's not a REAL bingo," the latter yelled by one of the senior players regarding the late call of "Bingo!" from one of the newbies.  Apparently, you have to call "bingo" before the next number is called.  Who knew?

Honestly, this was a great night!  And, we especially enjoyed getting to share it with our good friend T-Bird, who we were all sure was going to win the final blackout.  Unfortunately, none of us got to scream out the magic word but that has not prevented the bingo bug from biting us.  Sadly, the next round isn't until late August, and we hope to be nestling into our Dundee digs by that time.  Anyone know if bingo is big in Scotland?
