Singo

While I'm organizing my thoughts about that kitchen pamphlet, I thought I'd chat about a fund-raiser that Jeanette and I attended last night.

Our local Kiwanis Club sponsored an event last night called Singo, which is a musical Bingo game. You may have heard of it, but we hadn't. Jeanette's son and his girlfriend had played before and invited us along. Held at our local micro-brewery, the venue featured great beer, and super sandwiches & pizza.

Basically, you pay $40 for two cards (it IS a fund-raiser, after all)--one card features titles of 70's Retro music, the other card contains Party List songs. Each card allows for three games--one line, two lines and full card—each offering cash prizes. The emcee plays musical clips of songs from the card's era. If you have the title of the song being played, cross it off.

It was awesome to hear close to a hundred folks all singing the songs as they were played. Sweet Caroline was sung with particular gusto. And I won $50 for crossing off ALL the song titles of the 70’s Retro card. I had to tell everyone that 70’s music is NOT retro—it just IS the best decade for music.

With good friends and family, Singo was a singularly great time.
