B-I-N-G-O!

When you finally decide to visit Newport this fall/winter don't bother coming on the weekends, they're dead here.  Instead, get here on Thursday night for Bingo at the Rogue Bayfront.  I'm not kidding people it's ballin.  Jen and I went and my vball friend Aldis joined us just in time.  

As a quick summary, in every game played, either Jen or I or BOTH of us were in the top 4 finishers.  The fist game got a  little ugly.  We both called BINGO at the same time (she insists she was first..) which put us and 2 other gentlemen into the challenge round.  Challenge: fill up 4 frisbees with delicious Rogue Ale then have each contestant drink the beer (no hands!) then FLIP THE FRISBEE (no hands!) to see who wins.  And go!  Jen beat me by a good 5-10sec but neither of us came in first or last!  Anyway, free frisbee!

A few more games happen, Jen keeps winning, I tell a joke and get a prize, Jen wins again and plays Wii bowling...

As for the Bingo caller Chris, well, he is amazing!  Lots of jokes, keeps the games rolling, and gets a lot of participation out of the crowd.  For instance, when calling certain numbers ie G45 there is a sort of 'call and response.'  Here is what I can remember:

Thank Heaven it's B9!
Everyone's favorite vitamin:  B12
I am nailing a girls that's 25. It' I25
G47 GLORYHOLE
I26 Hoo-rah!
It's one short of a good time O68
Everyone's favorite number: O69
Last number on the board: O75

I know there are others but Ive only gone once.   Ill let you know what they are when I'm more experienced:) 

And then for the greatest finale ever I won blackout!  Which, I didnt really know what it was till Aldis and Jen told me.  I won a lovely grey sweatshirt with the Rogue logo on the front.  Classic.
