Jello Wrestling

Jello wrestling?  Hmmm...You never quite know what you're going to get on my blog, do you?

Tonight we went to a fundraiser for a couple of LGBT charities here in San Diego, a fundraiser built around women's jello wrestling.  I mean, how can you go wrong with that?  The organizers did a great job with the event, and we had a blast!  There were four rounds in the single-elimination jello wrestling tournament.  To raise our level of engagement, we placed raffle tickets in the buckets of the wrestlers that we were betting would win.  At the end of each round, they picked a raffle winner out of the winner wrestler's bucket.  We had VIP tickets for the event, so we got to view the wrestling from a balcony above all the action.  Super fun!

We had forty raffle tickets in various wrestlers buckets, so every time they picked a raffle winner, we were ready to hear them call our number.  Round after round, they called numbers close to ours, but not ours.  And then, after the very last round, they called out TWO of our ticket numbers!  :)  We won a massage, which we gave to our friend (one of the original organizers of the event), and we won a one-hour personal training session, which we don't really need...anybody here in San Diego want it?

All in all, a great night for a great cause.  Donovan thinks I should volunteer to wrestle next year.  To that, I say "Hell no!!!"  :)
