he local dive bar Model Café is no secret to the Allston hipster crowd. But only the savviest know about Rock ‘n’ Roll Bingo Night. Female DJs spin records and the bingo wheel, and liquid prizes are redeemed at the bar. You never know who might stop in: Surprise guests have included the Foo Fighters and Pat Smear of Nirvana. Another secret: On the first Tuesday of every month, Model hosts its Rock N' Roll Social, a gathering of bloggers, DJs, promoters, and booking agents. Moravek

That, in turn, has cut into the proceeds of the Lottery Commission, which collects a 5 percent tax on bingo revenues.
