- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
The night started of in a flurry with 8 perfect scores, but 6 of those 8 Doubled!! The second round had most scores in 6 or above, and the competition continued to mount. We found our first zero out in round 3, and with three more doubles, teams began to pull away. Quiz Kid Donnie Smith began to threaten the confidence of the leaders as their point total neared the three teams that had been commanding the field. Round four saw even more success for Quiz Kid, who obtained the only perfect 10. in round five, the tension mounted as the high-valued doubles entered play and scores began to soar with 7 teams gaining 20 points. Neck and neck the leaders raced, but the only round 6 double from Tequila Mocking Birds put them into contention all but guaranteeing a prize. The points lay high all around, but the real excitement was between Tequila Mockingbirds and Feelin Mirthy, Dat Foo Girthy, who tied for first place, settling with their best guesses with our regulars giving way to the newcomers who won the day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVIN!!!
Our dutiful host, making sure the bar is open even though it was his own birthday!
There's Always next week and Tequila Mockingbirds toasted the birthday boy with Successful double downs in round 1, round 2 was a shocker with almost every single team scoring seven points, but St. Trinian's escaping everyone's memory of even having existed at all!
A few doubles shook up the ladder in round 3, with Let's get quizzical, The kid's table, and Gasping at Straws jumping up in the standings. Everyone waited to guess who until the six point clue, and only two teams missed the right answer. After a thrilling drinking round where the Casual American Cannibals reigned supreme, There's Always Next Week came out back on top with the only successful Bond-related double down. Rounds 6 and 7 remained rather conservative, and the game ended with a battle of wits and estimations between Tequila Mockingbirds and The Kids' Table vying and tying second place, leaving the former to take the lead.

It was a packed night tonight and nary a table was spared! Sure, things started off with a bang with Casual American Cannibals and Tequila Mocking birds cinching that round 1 double down, but round 2 was where everyone got in the action. if teams missed a point, it was only one, with five teams scoring seven points and the other ten successfully doubling! All of the future winners found a home in that latter group.
Round 3 was pretty high scoring all in all as the stakes were lain bare. Round 4 ended up astounding the quizmaster and staff as again, Ten teams scored perfect tens, although the roster was shaken up a little from round 2. Five teams pulled far and away from the pack in round 5 with doubles, and round 6 ended up being more conservative with only Quiz in my Pants landing 20 points. Everyone played it safe for the final round, and rightly so, as there was not one perfect score.
There was no lack of celebration after the winners were announced as the mood reached a fever pitch among all participants.
