I thought of a fun game just now that could actually get me to go out to this friday night hipster event that looks absolutely miserable from the point of view of an introverted, claustrophobic, non-dancing, quiet-loving, un-cool type guy like myself. I call it “PYT Bingo.” Basically it goes like this, everyone fills in a bingo card randomly from a list of pre-determined things, and then you take those cards to PYT with a pen and hang out on the sidelines and check off whenever you see one of the things on your card. Things like “A couple, both wearing middle eastern style scarves”, “someone wearing a flannel and sunglasses”, “A Curly Mustache”, “A Mohawk on a girl”, “Someone wearing 3 or more American Apparel items”, “A sailor hat”, “Someone with a neck or hand tattoo but nothing tattooed on their arms”, “80’s sneakers with tight white pants”, “A straight couple that looks like a lesbian couple”… etc etc. Everyone puts in 5 bucks and the first person to get BINGO or… PYTGO wins the pot. The wildcard could be picked of something you wouldn’t expect to see there ever like “Someone wearing a Minor Threat shirt, not ironically.” and if you saw that first you’d automatically win.
This came up because Jonah and Lauren are out of town and now I have no idea what to do with my Friday night. I’m just barely ending a week of being sick so I should just take the night off anyway. Feels like such a waste. Oh well I guess that’s it. I’ll leave you with a link to this awesome cartoon series that is eventually going to be a book, different cartoon artists all depicting a “Missed Connections” ad as a comic. Amazing.
