The Martini Party gone to the Doctor
This past Friday night I was invited to a martini party hosted by one of the local Engineers here in Trail. The roommate and I were loaded with food and beverage supplies as we decended into the basement venue excited to try new drinks and mingle with the local leadheads. There was rave music pumping and the sound of voices as I turned the corner. I stopped dead in my tracks, OMG, there was an intense game of Dr. Mario being played on a HUGE 40" flat screen tv. These are the things dreams are made of. Intantly my focus shifted from the colourful beverages being served up to the colourful pills falling from the sky.
One can not understand the excitement inside of me. I have found like-minded people living, breathing and playing the original Dr. Mario on the original Ninendo cartridge here in Trail.
I quickly made a challenge to the next game winner and ended up spending a very enjoyable evening glued to a tv set. There were a couple very challenging competitors, although I will admit I won many more than I lost! God bless Dr. Mario!
