B-I-N-G-O in R-I-V-ERSIDE!

In my household, I am affectionately referred to as the "Bingo Whore". Don't laugh, my mother is the "Slot Slut" (she is addicted to those little one-armed bandits). I have always had fun playing Bingo thanks to the array of colorful characters that frequent these places. The games may change from bingo hall to bingo hall, but the players remain colorful no matter where you live. So, when I heard about this fabulous event going on at the University Village in Riverside, CA, I just had to go. From 6-7:30pm, the public is welcome to come and play Bingo for FREE! Prizes are donated by the local businesses, including Denny's, Game Stop, Fat Burger, the University Village Cinema and various restaurants located in the village. There were also passes for the San Diego County Fair given away. My son and I went last Wednesday night and came SO CLOSE to winning. We both were only 1 number away from winning the prize package that included a Game Stop gift card (thus the face of defeat below when we both lost). I was also 1 number away from winning 2 of the other 5 games, including the final blackout! What heartbreak! Once we lost out on the Game Stop gift card, my son lost interest. But, I think I have him hooked. He's going back with me tonight to see if maybe one of us can win that Game Stop gift card prize package. By the way, tonight is the last night of the series this year. It will be back next June. Wish me luck!
