Trivia Night

Meant to post this last Wednesday when Kate and I along with our friends Ron and Erin tried out a trivia night at the Trailhead Tavern. Erin had done this sort of thing before and was eager to recruit more people into it. The trivia night is hosted by an organization called Geeks Who Drink - a group of people who enjoy both obscure trivia and alcoholic beverages.

Well, naturally Kate and I don't drink. Neither does Erin. Ron had to have a couple of beers just to keep us honest. ;-)

At any rate it was a lot of fun! The Quizmaster (Quizmistress?) was a little foul-mouthed and rude...but despite that, we had a good time. Between the four of us, we had enough obscure knowledge from different areas that we did pretty well. Out of something like a dozen teams, ours came in 3rd! W00t!

(BTW, our team name was "We Can Haz Cheezburger" - since we're all fans of the LOLCats website.) :-)

Here's a shot of my teammates that evening...



Here's the one that's posted on the Geeks Who Drink blog...



(Yes, Ron has some sort of psychological aversion to showing up on camera...) ;-)

And here's Erin with our 3rd place trophy....



We don't actually keep the trophy. (Which was good - the thing was kind of ugly.) We just add something permanent to the thing and return it to the bar.

So I think we're pretty well sold at this point. There's another timeslot starting up on Sundays at the Stonehouse Grille. The Quizmasters are a pair of guys that Erin has seen before and really liked. Might have to give that one a go as well...

That's it for now. Thanks for reading - hope you're having a great day!
