The Groove! - Play That Funky Bingo! - 9/9/26!

Congrats to last week's winners: Roxanne! Debbie D! Megan! Karliss! We started out with the 80's (Version 1.2), then we said "Hey Ladies", we got some "Tasty Tunes"! We finished out with a 90's Mixed Bag (Version 1.2)! We missed one week...but you've missed two! And we miss you! Don't make it three: that's almost a whole month of no Funky Bingo! Doctors advise against that... This week's phrase that pays is "Fever!"

The Groove - Funky Bingo - Blurb for 8/26/26

Hey there and hello! John was back on the job last week for another fantastic funfest of Music Bingo! It was a busy night at The Groove as 50 players joined in to sing their way to gift card-winning potential! We started off with Rock and/or Roll, then we rolled our way into the Class of 1973, and put on some Tattered Short Shorts before ending the night with 90's Mixed Bag Part 3. 50 names made the winner's wheel but as you know, only 4 were drawn to take a prize! Some of those names on the wheel were there because of the Round 2 Secret Art Bonus! This week, draw a SUNSET AS WE REFLECT ON THE CLOSING WEEKS OF THE SUMMER OF '26! 🌅 Special Thanks to Victoria and Debbie, who as of this writing were the only people to "Like" the 8/5 and 8/19 Photo posting on facebook. Not a single one of y'all liked any of the individual photos! Hey! Wanna keep people coming to Funky Bingo at The Groove? I hope so, cuz The Groove needs to justify paying us to be there! So, we al...

We finished July games with Workin' for a Livin', 90's Modern Rock Hits, Gotta Get Goin', and The Class of 1970! What will we have in store for August? Come and find out! As far as regulars who pay attention to the blurbs... we had a record 13 Art Bonus entries, rewarding you, our faithful, with an auto matic Funky Bingo win, or additional win for Round 2. This week, write the punchline to any jone (but don't include the joke) on your Round 2 Funky Bingo card (at the bottom, please) and surround it with a drawn box so it grabs my attention! If you get a funky bingo in Round 2, your name will be added TWICE!  If not, your name will go on the Winner's Wheel even if you didn't bingo in the round.  But y'all know that.  Last Week's Winners: Way to go! See y'all Wednesday!

 THERE WAS MUSIC and good times last week at The Groove!  It was the week of the winner-dudes last Wednesday! Can the guys come up with a repeat?  Did Liberty or Andy win last week? Answer: No. Did the ladies go a week without major criticism and deadly stares? Answer: Not that I heard, but... Did I go a week without playing the wrong songs? Answer: Yes! Yaye me. The only way to know for sure is to BE THERE! Please take a moment to LIKE your photo on facebook  it only takes a minute to scroll through last week's upload of fun!  >>>and that is a CORRECTED LINK to this past week's photos<<< So, for a additional entry this week, draw an amusement ride on your second round Funky Bingo card! Remember to turn it in even if you don't get a Funky Bingo the natural way. See you and others this week at The Groove!

The Groove – Play That Funky Bingo – Blurb from July 1, 2026

  The Groove – Play That Funky Bingo – Blurb from July 1, 2026 The air at The Groove was thick with the scent of barbecue, cold drafts, and the distinct hum of absolute musical focus. John kicked things off on the mic by making sure everyone knew the correct use of the Ink Daubers and golf pencils were. It is a vital public service announcement he graciously delivers nearly every single time, just in case anyone forgot how it works since last week. We slid smoothly into Round 1 with a patriotic "US of A" set, celebrating America's then-upcoming 250th anniversary celebration with a heavy focus on life in these United States. Lisa c showed her inner patriot by nailing one of the coveted Round 1 Funky Bingos. From there, the Winner's Wheel filled up fast as a trend started emerging: andy b, michele t, and shannon h apparently woke up with a deep, spiritual connection to the playlist, immediately landing themselves on the wheel and setting a frantic pace for the rest of t...

  The Groove – Play That Funky Bingo – Blurb from June 24, 2026 The air at The Groove was thick with the scent of barbecue, cold drafts, and the distinct hum of absolute musical focus. John kicked things off on the mic by making sure everyone knew exactly what kind of marker, highlighter, or blunt instrument they needed to dab their cards. It is a vital public service announcement he graciously delivers nearly every single time, just in case anyone forgot how ink works since last week. We slid smoothly into Round 1 with Fonzie’s Jams, featuring artists starting with the letter "A"—cue the collective, involuntary "Aaaayyyyyyyy!" from the room. Denise s got the wheel spinning early by nailing the very first Bingo of the night. From there, the Winner's Wheel filled up fast as a trend started emerging: spergron, shannon h, and marc t apparently woke up with a deep, spiritual connection to the playlist, immediately landing themselves on the wheel and setting a franti...

  🎶 Roses are Red, Thorns have a Point, Let’s Get Funky Up In This Joint! 🌹 LIKE YOUR PICS ON FACEBOOK! (Pretty please?) That link goes to the most recent upload of pics including the previous 2 weeks' games only. Job security for our company means keeping The Groove hopping with paying customers. Every time you like your photo, you help us reach that goal! Remember, like your own photo first and foremost, because when your friends see your pic, they WILL click to look and experience a little FOMO... 😁 which we can easily solve. You'll be helping to improve their week, and I'll be sure to return week after week! We had an absolute blast last week with about 50 of you filling the house! Shoutout to our incredible regulars who keep the energy electric— Liberty and family, Brittanie, Victoria, Jess the Librarian, and Jacob & Lisa .

 Yes, we had another fantastic fun time, albeit with a rather quaint gathering. The "every-other-week=there's-a-big-crowd" thing is nice, but we all prefer the EVERY WEEK THERE'S A BIG CROWD! Call it what you will... I call it job security.  So, for this week's SECOND ROUND Art Bonus, draw something that locks. Last week, we did Flying High, 1970's Part 4, Time to Sing, and an extra long round of 2000's Pop-N-Rock. The folks whose name was drawn on our big wheel of fun were: Not all of those people were present at the drawing to accept a prize.  Were you? Was I? And who was that mystery blonde?

THE GROOVE • PLAY THAT FUNKY BINGO • blurb from 6/3/26 (so hush-up, Brittanie)

  THE GROOVE • PLAY THAT FUNKY BINGO • blurb from 6/3/26 We had a powerhouse room tonight— 47 active dabber-wielding players completely locked in, with another 17 non-playing patrons soaking up the secondary contact high of pure musical chaos. The energy was electric before the first card was even stamped. 📜 The Round-by-Round Breakdown Round 1: Class of 1979 We kicked things off by throwing it back to the pre-MTV era, where late-70s Billboard anthems ruled the world. The room went to absolute work. The room  came out swinging, singing, and eating the fine offerings right out of the gate. We all know how much Jess the angry Librarian  LOVES the 70's! Round 2: Unplugged We stripped things down for an acoustic, emotional journey. This is usually where everyone tries—and fails—to hit the high notes together. The momentum didn't slow down for a second. Multi-round achievers started stacking their odds early, with Shannon H, Candace P, Victoria B, and Tim O Thee making the...
