Shrimp Bingo

It's that time of year again for the annual Shrimp Bingo night or as Mark calls it "Nerd Nite". Yes, it's a night for engineers to gather (approx 1200 of them) for a night of all you can eat shrimp, six games of bingo with prizes and of course, our favorite part, the open bar. The KC Engrs Club puts on this annual event as a fundraiser for scholarships. I cannot remember how many years I've been going but i lost count when i ran out of fingers... This year's event has to be the best though because for the first time in all these many years, I actually got BINGO!! Yes, i jumped from my seat, screamed as loud as i could BINGO to the crowd of 1200 engrs and clients. Ran up to the front of the room to have my card checked (god knows you don't want to NOT have a bingo, the shame....). Each games has 4 prizes so first come first serve. I was the second winner of game 3. So with the first prize already won (new 26" HDTV), i got a new blue ray disk player. I called Mark and said we need to go and buy some blue ray dvd's. So needless to say, i had a great time.
