Big Bouncing Balls ... and Trivia!!!

Just as Kevin Durant & the Warriors were putting on a basketball clinic for the Cavaliers, We'll Always Have Paris was schooling their competition and running away with 1st place and the $100 prize! Intravenus de Milo got a slow start to the evening with a ZERO in round 1, but their steady improvement throughout the quiz was enough to earn 2nd place and a $50 prize. Eat Knowledge also stumbled out of the gate, but temporarily moved into 1st place with a key double on the Find the Connection round... unfortunately they didn't have confidence in their knowledge of Wrestling movies in round 6, failing to capitalize on what could have been their 2nd double, ultimately finishing them in 3rd place and a $25 prize... but don't cry for the them Argentina, because they also won the free pitcher of beer!

See everyone next Thursday at 8pm!

Cheers, Andy (did you know I drink 2 beers every Tuesday???)

Back Where We Belong

After a week upstairs it was great to be back in the comforting confines of the Barney's Beanery basement, and more importantly we got our regular bartender Jessica back after a 3 week hiatus!

Of course there was also some fearsome trivia competition happening as well. Five (that's right 5) teams scored a double in round #1 to get the race to the top going quickly. Round 2 proved more difficult, with only P4L able to name all 8 famous wives in the picture round... but their lead was short lived as the rest of the teams started pouring on the knowledge!

In the end Bananas Foster torched the competition and took home the $100 1st prize. It's on Ken! finished in a very strong 2nd to win $50 (thanks to a lack this week of sports questions, their Achilles heel), and Montenegro Please cruised into 3rd place and a $25 prize.

It's on Ken also won the free pitcher of beer, but since they weren't drinking donated the beer to Moded!

See everyone for trivia, fun and beer next Thursday at 8pm!!!

Cheers, Quizmaster Andy!

King Trivia on the Rise at Barney's Beanery Pasadena... outta the basement and to the top floor (aka Q's). That's right, for one week only, our little Thursday night get together took flight and reached new heights (figuratively and literally). The American's took home the big money 1st place $100 gift card thanks to some well timed doubles in rounds 3 & 5. Also, congrats to Pasadena Peeps for finishing 2nd and winning $50, it is good to have you in the winner's circle again.  And of course Flynn's Famous Turkey Roast took home $25 for 3rd place, though I think Mr. Flynn should make sure to declare that prize money before the Special "Councel" finds out about it. Finally, Big Fact Hunt complained about finishing 2nd-to-last for the 43rd week in a row... but if they bothered to register a team and give me a team number... those 2 extra points might be just what the doctor ordered.

Until next Thursday... Cheers!!!
