#4/52 Visiting the Bingo Palace

Well, I finally conquered my great fear of the unknown. I wandered over to the bingo palace today, bought myself a game set and dabber (called DaBoink) and sat myself down amongst a throng of overweight, blue-haired women and commenced playing. The ladies at my table were all very nice and happily answered all of my questions (such as, "So in lucky 7 does it actually have to be a 7 or can it be an L?") and even though I played 10 sets of games and won no money, I left with a pretty good feeling about that place. (For starters, it wasn't as smokey as I had thought it would be...in fact smoking is banned inside of the building. And instead of being filled with a bunch of old ladies, the place actually had tons of post-church going families...in fact the number of families to old ladies was almost even.) As I wandered out, I began to envision the theme parties I could throw with the bingo palace as the main attraction of the night. It would be awesome!!
