What a great showing we had at GOAL for our September Wednesday before autumnal falling into October!
We had our lovely regular teams joined by Ivy alumni who came out to play, repping both Harvard (your QM's alma mater YAY) and Stanford (and Penn) at two different tables!
And of course, we had Mark Dellham Sucks, our most recent grads from USC.
Some fun takeaways from last night -
Y'all don't seem to have ever seen a $2 bill before...many need a refresher course on state capitals because it proved super difficult to guess which state Lansing is the capital for - though you do know your Looney Tunes characters...but the High School Musicals were tough stuff because there were just far too many to choose from!
I know I did Les Mis, Miss Saigon, and Guys & Dolls in my high school musical theater - and none of those were on the list.
But I agree with you guys - high schools should totally do Hamilton. And Wicked.
Bodacious the Bull tripped many teams up with the Hall of Fame he was in (Rodeo!) and two teams both thought our Guess Who? was not Nic Cage but Sean Penn.
All around, a very exciting night as Toby Rollers and GOAL Regulators kept going head to head - but Boardwalk 11 walked away with their successful final double down of the night.
Toby Rollers and GOAL Regulators ended up going into the Tiebreaker - and I had Chris read the answer, which was totally wrong - and we had to check our phones for the right answer because NO Florida does not have 8,436 miles of coastline.
Don't yell at me - I didn't write the question!
Don't yell at Chris - he just read it!
Now he knows how Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty felt at the Oscars, simply reading what was handed to him LOL.
Anyways, Toby Rollers walked away with Second Place for the night and also won the Drinking Round - naming the most Best Picture Oscar-winners out of everyone in our lovely circle! Speaking of Oscars 🙂
And I walked away happy that everyone gave my mom a happy birthday shout-out for her birthday this weekend!!! Yes, as I write this recap, I am on a 6AM bus back to San Francisco to celebrate her birthday with her.
Hug your family!
Or come to GOAL and hug your trivia family! I'm always here!
XOXO, your QM Sanyee
