The games kept moving forward as bag after bag were handed to the winners. After all this down time, the prize treasure trove was over-flowing so the bingo bags were chuck full of new and interesting prizes. This time we were quite thematic with clever names such as "Drag in a Bag" and "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche, They Exfoliate!".

After each game, the traditional gauntlet still reigned supreme as winners were pelted with losing bingo cards.  We caught some of our winners in action . . . We made some new friends as walk-in traffic was high on the busy street and the curious wanted to join in the fun. The evening went past the usual stopping time, but everyone was wide awake in anticipation of the final game whose prizes included an Oreck vacuum, a digital camera, day spa gift certificates, Wherehouse gift certificates and champagne. And in keeping with what appeared to be the theme of the evening - two people won!  However, these two decided not to have a tie-breaker, but just split the grand prize. What a night!

Besides Belle Aire, we were also graced with the presence of Hamburger Mary, a 6'4" drag queen in stilettos who is the hostess at the West Hollywood restaurant.  She welcomed Bill Foundation supporters to the new venue. The staff was great and worked their tails off to make sure everyone had their food and drinks. The new venue was super trendy and super friendly.  It was a fun evening for all and we look forward to a return gig next year.

Thanks to our special guests Patrika Darbo and Johnny Sneed; of course, Belle Aire and Bingo Boy for another successful bingo fundraiser; and to all the supporters of Bill Foundation for joining us that evening. Love and Licks from all the doggies for your help in this worthy cause.  Hope to see you next time.
