Head over to the Ace Hotel gym for two hours of bingo, music, comedy, trivia, prizes and more. Alexi Morrissey is the bingo caller, master of ceremonies and host with the most.
No Cover. Free to play.
You can read more about last month’s Adventure Bingo in Sean Collier’s recap for Pittsburgh Magazine.
When I first attended Adventure Bingo in late 2014, I didn’t know what I was getting into. A dressed-up bingo game, I thought. Or a trivia contest with another layer or two. Both things that aren’t too tough to find in the world; there are twists on pub games all over the place.
Of course, that’s not what Adventure Bingo is. Adventure Bingo is a one-man show from its dynamic host, artist Alexi Morrissey, wherein all other elements — the bingo, the trivia, the prizes, the drinks — are secondary to his flights of fancy and rant-tangents (rantgents?).
Writers aren’t supposed to use the word “unique” too often, but this … this is unique. The magic of Adventure Bingo cannot be duplicated; performance art melded with competition melded with sweat, more than anything else.
The theme for this week’s bingo trivia is… Harry Potter.
Adventure Bingo is every Wednesday from 8-10pm at Union Pig & Chicken.
Image via WikipediaI wanted to highlight this event for a few reasons
- Nature Photography Bingo sounds like a great idea – Participants will be given a disposable camera and a bingo board with items found in nature, and can work alone or in groups to photograph the items and complete the boards. At the end of the event, the ETC students will collect the cameras, print the photos, and distribute newsletters, asking participants to judge the photos based on artistic merit. The event will be a fun, active afternoon in the park, and with fall foliage at its peak, a chance to get some great photographs.
- Seniors are Super – I have blogged about family events, singles events so why not blog about Seniors events. Pittsburgh is a great place to retire and there are tons of great activites here for Seniors too.
- Playground of the Future – this project is part of some of the research that CMU students are doing for the Playground of the Future. You can learn more about the project here and here.
