This is my life, working my way around the globe with a bag of peanuts in one hand and my passport in the other! Join me in my adventures as I live out of my suitcase and experience all the amazingness the world has to offer.

Granny's Got Game
So apparently there is no need to travel across the globe to find adventure. In the little community of Fife, WA, a small spot between Tacoma and Federal Way, lives a place called BJ's Bingo. Now, if you are like me you think of bingo as an older person activity. Little old ladies with blue hair, cute old men with canes balanced on the table, gently shouting out "Bingo." Well then, you'd be wrong too. This isn't your grandma's bingo. At least not on Thursday nights. First off it starts at 11pm, when most grannies have long retired for the evening. 2nd, its Cosmic Bingo. That's right, black lights and glow sticks. And 3rd, the music is so loud you spend half the night yelling 'What?" to you neighbor and the other half singing along with Kesha, Guns N Roses and 50 Cent. I don't think most grandmothers would be up for this. But from the moment you step inside you are faced with fun little games to play while waiting for the bingo to start where you may win a few extra $$ for next weeks game. Add together the people watching and the fact that they encourage you to dance on the tables in between games and you have yourself a pretty fun, awesome night, right in the heart of the Puget Sound. And winning the first game with a $125 pot doesn't hurt either!
