It was fun, it was safe, it was great to be back. It had been more than 510 days since I last hosted King Trivia in person and the players at Barney's Beanery in Pasadena welcomed me back with open arms. 7 teams entered the ruckous and all came out unscathed with smiles. After a few technical snafus (the new KT online system is awesome) the evening carried on with much joy and many more bad jokes. The first few rounds were quite close and then the Pasadena Peeps doubled-down and would not be caught for the rest of the evening (they also won the drink round too), which is a lot to say for the team that hid behind a giant bush all night. Second place went to Gen XYZ; who knew so many UCLA grads could make it happen. Third place was close and Just for Fun was able to beat out P-XAS by one point. I hope y'all are looking forward to next Thursday... I know I am.
PS: I may have forgotten to take photos - so here is a picture of my dog Quigley
