Bingo at the 'Mino
I've never worked at a bar, but based on empirical evidence, I'm guessing that Mondays are, generally speaking, slow nights in the tavern business. Maybe it was the $1 cans of PBR and Tecate that brought in a good crowd to the Palomino last night. But I'm guessing it was mostly the free bingo.

It's cold. Now what?
I've brought in the last of my plants and herbs from the yard; I've dug out my ugly fleece blankets that keep me warm while watching TV; I'm considering that janky plastic wrap stuff for my ancient and far-from-air-tight windows. It's cold out. And it's going to stay that way for longer than I'd prefer to calculate right now.

Dream lounge gets all jazzed up at Potawatomi
There's a new attraction at Potawatomi Bingo Casino, and it shares little in common with the potentially overwhelming bells and whistles found on the gaming floor. Dream is a late-night jazz experience tucked away on the casino's second level.
