Hello and Hi again! Quiz Master Lou is reporting yet once
again and is most happy to tell you that King Trivia Pub Quiz
has added a brand new venue to its ranks! I'm talking about
Dunn Brothers Coffee in Plano, just a stone's throw away from
the big fitness center with the gi-normous climbing wall in
the lobby. (But don't actually throw any stones. Glass, ya
know...)
While Dunn Brothers is a coffee shop, they also serve beer and
wine, as well as a very nice selection of ciders. (QM Lou
had a couple of very tasty Crackberry's!) Their sandwiches
looked pretty good, too!
Being the inaugrual quiz at Dunn Bros, we were very pleased
with the turnout. Nine teams competed out on the patio in the
most conducive weather I think I've ever experienced. A warm
and heartfelt thanks to three verteran quiz teams that followed
me over from the old place! (You know who you are. [insert
Heart Emoticon]
Quiz Kalifa and Just Here for the Beer finished last amongst
the newbies. Just Here for the Beer left early, possibly
because they finished their beers... Deadly Alliance, Mavericks
and My Drinking Team Has a Trivia Problem filled out the middle
of the rakings. Rockafellers trailed Pickles on a Plate all
evening until they overtook them in Round Six to snatch First
Place with a one point gap! As befits such a momentous event
on an opening night, there was a Tie for third place between
Meow Mix and Team Finn, with the latter winning the tie breaker!
Drama, drama, drama, but the good kind.
Style points were awarded copiously as well. Identifying
Sophia Loren for Elizabeth Taylor can be understandable? The
Beatles' Apple Record label was mistook for Tangerine Records,
which upon research, QM Lou discovered was Ray Charles'.
Might have been the question of the week that set that off.
And how you get the Lincoln Tunnel instead of the Khyber Pass
is a mystery to me! Speaking of mysteries, Witchy Poo was not
a member of the Scooby Gang!
That's all I got. Have a great weekend and hope to see you at next
week's quiz!
