QUIZ RECAP

It's getting nippy! The rubbing of hands was getting to be more common than I was expecting in later rounds. Had gloves just in case but it hasn't come to that. Yet. 

Today was a hectic one and procuring a playlist was on my mind but just wasn't possible until an hour before I had to leave. Luckily it worked out quickly and had good music choices to coincide with the rounds and questions. Greg said he likes coming because he "never knows what's going to come out of my speakers." That was very nice to hear. For the unfamiliar, I played under a wonderful quizmaster for many years before becoming a host, and realized how picking songs that go with questions and sometimes hint at answers makes the game more fun. Thank you, Mr. Michael Miller, the host with most. It's always great when some one appreciates the music you choose. For example, the box office bomb Battleship was an answer for round one. Erasure's Ship of Fools was an ideal choice to play as one of the songs for that round hehe. 

Anyway it was a back and forth between the Pasadena Peeps and their satellite team the Beeps for tonight, with the peeps just *barely* eking it out by a point for the win. Phineas Anne Furb took third with Shellie Jamtroyd winning the drinking round by composing a very clever haiku. Haiku was a question in round one as well so I had them write a haiku and my fave would win the round. I had mentioned that it was a shame Michael McKean (Mr. Green!) was left out of the Clue question and they worked him and two other films into their haiku! It's included in the picture set. All the teams submitted correctly formatted haikus. Nicely done!
