Happy week of National Pizza Day!
We had a stellar turnout and a stellar Pizza-themed Drinking Round! Where everyone went around in a circle and named an ingredient they'd want on a pizza and had to pay close attention and retain / remember each other's ingredients! It started to sound like a real grocery shopping list by the end -- and made everyone crave a yummy GOAL pie!
We saw Italian meatballs, broccoli, pepperoni, anchovies, burrata, garlic, pineapple, basil, extra cheese, cilantro, onions, red onions, black olives, green olives, bacon, tiny pieces of bread, and egg!
And just writing that list again made me hungry...
CONGRATS to Mark Dellham Sux for winning their first-ever drinking round! And they've been playing with us at GOAL since September! So, resilience pays off -- so happy for y'all 😀
Another highlight of the night was for the arcade game themed round when I asked "Billy Mitchell was the antagonist in what documentary about Donkey Kong?"
The right answer? The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.
The wonderfully creative incorrect answers? Donk-umentary and Barreled.
HUGE shoutout to new player Ben who's visiting us from New York and ended up in second place!! That Round Seven was definitely tailored well towards GOAL and sports trivia buffs!
GOAL Regulators came in third after it went into a tie with Ben to guess how many goals were scored during the 2019 Women's World Cup.
And our first place team of the night, I Lost My Virginity At...won with 64 points in honor of their team member, Swade, who had relocated to Mexico but is visiting again this week!
YAY good times all around!
Oh another fun moment -- "Which video game superstar was originally known as 'Jumpman'?"
"Drunk Man?"
"No -- Jump Man. Though Drunk Man would be a great name for a videogame too. Maybe you could incorporate some 3D beer goggles into the game or something. Make it super VR."
But wait, no, it's so much more fun to be at an ACTUAL bar like GOAL getting drinks with your friends and playing trivia rather than playing some videogame with virtual reality!
See y'all next week!
