I love my Barney's Beans. Just made the name up now. For the drinking round I had them draw their best Mickey Mouse. Check out the pix for some amazing drawings, especially the winning one on the left, done by Eat Knowledge. Pasadena peeps took third, impressive after losing a point on a 10 point clue guess in round 4 Guess Who?. In second was Da Bears and on first was Club Obi Wan, who dominated the evening from the start. We had a bit of trouble hearing the host due to a large and very loud group in the middle of the bar, but after a few nudges to keep it down, all was well. First night with a video round going perfectly, that is to say that it was up and running on the tv's without a hitch 🙂

Quite the back and forth tonight with scores, an impressive outing for two teams, S3S4, for missing second place in the final (video) round by writing Spider Man 2 instead of just Spider Man, hence missing the double down by a mere technicality (I felt bad, seriously!). Instead, it was the other unregistered team, We Always Come From Behind, who did indeed come from behind to take third place, with Second Cousins (again, aptly named) again taking second place- as their name deserves- with Pasadena Peeps taking the crown tonight. Nicely done to Key Party, winners of the drinking round, who broke a tie with S3S4 on multiple worded US State Capitals.

Nice to be back after a week away. Plenty of teams tonight, and we had fun doing the drinking round (a rep from each team came up and we competed with who could yell the longest in one breath). It was Da Bears who prevailed and donated their pitcher to the last place team at the time, I Heart Janet Reno. Pasadena Peeps were in first for most of the game but it was Da Bears with crucial doubles in later rounds that took them to first, barely eking it out against Second Cousins (whaddya know, second place!) who came through with a giant double in the final round, which was a video round to name Joseph Gordon Levitt films, and Pasadena Peeps taking third and retaining a place on the figurative podium to continue quite a streak of it.
