PICS FROM SIERRA MADRE BINGO NIGHT
On Saturday, April 22 Belle Aire and Bingo-boy headed out to Sierra Madre for our bi-annual bingo night to help build their float for The Rose Parade (we raise money, don't actually build the float- but they do, but not on that night...never mind). It was a capacity crowd and everyone had a great time- including all of those whose friends paid to have them paddled by The Fabulous Belle Aire. Anything for charity!
Belle Aire as Rose Princess....with a paddle.

These are two of the "Divas" who sit right in front and have come to every Sierra Madre bingo since the beginning over two years ago! Go Divas!

Jeanne Mills (on right) coordinates this event, works the food tables and drives the float in the parade! I think she actually has a life too...amazing woman.

Kay Sappington (on left- duh) is our "Sierra Madre Door Diva" and greets everyone with a smile- except when they're dumb. Then she smiles even bigger.

Four generations of Lomboys came to bingo! A beautiful family and pretty good bingo players. Especially the baby...

...until he nodded off in the middle of "The Sally O'Malley G- G50! I like to kick and....zzzzzzzz"

APRIL 19 BINGO at Hamburger Mary's was, believe it or not, more fun than usual! Don't know why. The 9 pm show had that...how you say....energy? Joie de vivre? I'm sure that's not how you spell it but you get the point. Our celebrity ballcaller was Valarie Pettiford from UPN's "Half & Half" and let me tell you, she was not half of anything! She was hot! Belle Aire and Valarie were two divas in command! Lots of paddling and a rousing rendition of "Copacabana" from The Gay Men's Chorus and the entire crowd!


Working the front door were Juli Superstar and Maxx and we thank them! It's like having Chip & Dale giving you your bingo cards!












Paula and Loyce are big bingo freaks and pretty constant whiner....I mean winners. We love them alot but they won't share their booth without a fight! Big Days of Our Lives fans by the way...










Belle Aire just paddled this guy's ass. We were playing "Top or Bottom" and he turned out to be a "middle!"

On Monday, April 17 we made our regular visit to Palm Springs and raised money for one of our favorite charities, the hate-crime documentary "Journey To A Hate-Free Millennium," a program for high schools. Above is Brent Scarpo who created the documentary and his assistant Patti.

Bingo-boy brought Bridgette Of Madison County as guest Bingo Hostess and she rocked the joint! At one point, someone walked by the restaurant and yelled "bingo" and Bridgette ran after them and down the street with the bingo paddle. I think they actually ran and wet their pants at the same time.

These boys sat right in the front and still did not win one game. Better luck next time, I guess.

Andy and Tim- owners of 333 Bed & Breakfast. That is where Ann Walker (Sordid Lives) stayed when she came for a night of bingo.

We'll be back in Palm Springs on Monday, May 1!

Below is a message received by our friends Andy and Tim that run the 333 Bed & Breakfast in Palm Springs. The guy who wrote the letter stayed at the B & B and came to bingo. I guess he tried to play bingo the "Legendary Bingo" way at a real casino and ran into some trouble. I am still laughing.

To Whom It May Concern,

Although I appreciate the effort Belle Aire went to in order to teach me
to play bingo, she is sooo sweet!...I have to tell you that not everyone
here appreciates or understands the "call backs".
I'm sure I did everything right, as I had practiced the call backs
the night before, even practicing wadding up my paper and trying to hit a
target.
I couldn't understand why people were staring at me as I never missed a
call back while many others did. APPARENTLY, the BIG problem arose when
on B-11, I good naturedly attempted to assist some ladies who appeared
reluctant to achieve the legs to heaven positon.
I was ultimately escorted OUT of the Morongo Casino where I was met
by Indian Reservation Security, the County Sheriff's Department, the irate
president of the Michael Jackson Fan Club, and a member of Homeland
Security. (It seems that "Pelt her, Pelt her" could be construed as a
terrorist act.)
So, you can tell that bingo bitch from hell that because of HER...I
am banned from Morongo Casino for life, I'm on the "no-fly" list for
domestic flights within the continental United States, and am currently
undergoing a rather extensive psychiatric evaluation.

Quack quack,

Jan

Palm Springs was suprised when "Sordid Lives" star Ann Walker showed up to call a few games at a recent night of Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary's. One of the gang even came in "LaVonda" drag to show how much Palm Springs loves Ann!
