booty call with dave and buster

My intention had been to drive straight through to Savannah, no stops along the way.

My bladder had a difference of opinion.

So, I stopped at Dave & Buster's, something I haven't done in years, with my five game cards in my pocket.

After a pit stop, I played a few ticket-giving games, realizing they were half-price - oh, wow, this was Wednesday!

Okay, I thought, may as well burn through these scant 'chips' and cash in before I leave!

When my fourth spin on the Pirate Wheel netted the maximum of 1000 tickets, I did just that.

The trick was then finding what booty to collect!

That clear-sided computer speaker was my first grab, then the cool orange socks... but what else... the three wooden Christmas ornaments (the clerk said photo holders), and the RAWR and Lla-lla-ma-zing stickers - yes, those would do nicely!

Procuring those seven items managed to completely use up all 'chips' on four of the cards, as well as all tickets on 1 of them.

That one went into the trash; the card with the pirate on the front will grace my fridge as a magnet; and I left behind two of the cards on top of a machine for someone else.

My original card, which still has enough 'chips' and tickets went back to my travel bag for another day of play in the future.

Total cost to me for more than an hour of play and all this swag: zero, zip, zilch, nada.

I even got back home when I had originally planned to, at 3 PM!

That means I can catch Neo and Trinity... and so I shall!

Gotta get in my free A*List movies!
