Bingo?!
I played bingo tonight for the first time ever. I had some vague concept of what bingo was about, but I was pretty much completely unprepared for the reality.
We went to a place called the Side Door, on Wellington. Since you can't smoke in Ottawa anymore, and you can't drink while you gamble, it was a bit like sitting in a high school cafeteria while a person called out numbers.
The thing is, it actually got pretty stressful. Your adrenaline is going, because you could be the next one to get a bingo...which, tonight, could have been $1000, $2000, or $3000. No, we didn't win any of these, and actually, only the $1000 was given away. But, Kate won $120 on her very first game. I think that was the part that kept us there for the whole thing.
Rob and I might try "Bingo and Breakfast" at some point. 10:15am, and who knows? They might be the next El Morocco...

Lovely Bingo.
You have to love how hard it is to keep track of those Bingo numbers... I played once, and got to within 1 and 2 numbers on certain games, but keeping track became a hassle. I ditched one of the playing cards from time to time just to make things easier.
