Wow...this is one I will never forget. It was business as usual as Kyle strolled into the venue 30 minutes before showtime. Gladhanding the regulars and putting in an order for a BBQ chicken sandwich, we were all prepared for a very normal evening of trivia Until.....LIGHTS OUT! There was a power outage on 1st Street in DTSJ, which is not a great thing for a video game bar...or anywhere really. Realizing the safety issues this could pose, we had decided to shut down the event for the night. However, there was still about 20 minutes left of sunlight, so we decided to finish our drinks before leaving. Having given up hope, we had all begun to make our way to the exit. But in the 11th hour, the power came back on! What a miracle! We were able to continue the game as usual. A couple of teams did understandably leave, however, we still had 11 teams fighting it out for the first place gift card, and what a fight it was! Fat Kyle and the Boys put on a powerhouse performance, however. They took over a narrow lead in round 2 and did not look back. 2nd and 3rd place were in close contention with Houseky, smartinis, win and go home, and Red lantern all fighting for glory. Houskey was almost out of it, but managed to grab successful back-to-back doubles in rounds 5/6 to shoot up to 2nd place! Smartinis had a 4 point lead over Lantern for 3rd place going into the finals. Lantern was able to close the gap, but only by 3 points and Smartinis took the 3rd place spot by 1 point. A fun game all around and thanks to everyone for sticking it out!
