Mark Your Calendars: October 21st

Anyone who's anyone will be at The Coffee Ethic on Tuesday, October 21st. It's SKINGO! (Skinny Improv, The Coffee Ethic, & Swagbot Bingo)

Mix Tape Bingo Rocks!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have made history as The Coffee Ethic's first-ever Mix Tape Bingo winner!! (Actually I tied with another girl, but I think that's because we may have had the same card.)

We must've been on a roll. Our table won 3 out of the 4 games played at Mix Tape Bingo.

How does Mix Tape Bingo work, you ask? They play a lot of cool songs while you play Bingo. You have to name them...whoever gets the most right, wins a cool prize. Of course, there are other prizes for the Bingo winners (and they are equally cool!)

Tom and Shawn hard at work for Mix Tape Bingo

My friends Joanna and her husband Mark both won...

The only one who came up empty-handed was Jimbo.. but he didn't walk away empty-handed. I am getting a kewl SWAGBOT t-shirt made especially for him. SWEET.

Definitely one of the highlights of my week!

A Circus For Your Mind: Mix Tape Bingo

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO TONIGHT?
SWAGBOT AND THE COFFEE ETHIC ARE HOSTING MIX TAPE BINGO!

It's tonight at 7:30 at The Coffee Ethic. Co-owner Tom promises to have great music and fabulous prizes. I asked what kinds of prizes, and Tom said, "Well, it's being put on by a coffee shop and a t-shirt company, so..." Okay, got it.

If you've read this blog before, you may know I am a HUGE FAN OF BINGO!

B-I-N-G-O

If you haven't BINGOED in a while, you must give it another whirl.

Jim and I went to the American Legion on Friday on a whim..

Here were the TOP 6 surprises--

1. It's pretty cheap. It cost us $6 each for a half sheet.

2. The food is pretty good. Who knew?

And more than affordable...

another 6 bucks for a grilled cheese, a turkey club, french fries, and two drinks.

3. The prizes. Every game is at least $175... but some went up to $1000!!!

4. The dobbing. Everyone likes dobbing their bingo cards with that ink.

5. They serve beer. I didn't drink, but it made the night more lively for Jim.

6. The excitement of getting this close to winning the big game...

This is Jim's sad, but exciting bingo card

Jim almost won the blackout round! It would've brought in a nice chunk of change, probably $450 or something, if he was the only one who had a BINGO. He was so excited when we were playing, and it was so fun to watch him get excited like a little kid!

We also sat by this really cute lady who helped us out, and overall, everyone was really friendly. We needed some help at first getting the cards and finding out which color-coded card was for which game...

Overall, a great Friday night!! I would suggest doing it. I spent $20 and couldn't have done anything better that evening.

We're going to go back for sure!
