The company I work for offers the employees two get-togethers a year. One is held in the summer and the other is the annual Christmas party.
This year, the summer outing was held at a place in Dallas called Speed Zone. For those who are not familiar with this place, it is a playground of sorts. There are multiple mini-golf courses, several race tracks with different cars, there is an indoor arcade....and yes, there is a bar. What's more fun than downing a few beers and driving around a circle really fast? I don't know, I didn't try either one.
The company paid for a round of golf and $18 for spending however we wanted. I spent mine in the arcade. The games spit out tickets which are worth points. For those with kids, its like Chuck E. Cheese's for all ages. You don't have to have a kid to go enjoy the arcade. Chuck E. Cheeses frowns upon you going in without small ones in tow.
Very few people showed up for this event. So few in fact that each of us received another $18 card to spend however we wanted. Again, I spent mine in the arcade. I racked up some 1200 points. You then take your 
points and trade them for souvenir type gifts. I needed 1400 points for the Mrs. Potatohead set. Since I was a few points shy, I had to settle for a Barrel of Monkeys and, as you can see in the picture, a very manly looking Wonder Woman doll. She comes complete with red gogo boots and silver bracelets. I don't know where her magic lasso is.
