QUIZ RECAP

I've been a proud King Trivia Quizmaster for about four months. Each time I have the opportunity to host, it's always fun. Albeit a bit laden with stress or anxiety at times - simple addition in front of a crowd can be challenging - I always leave the venue with a smile on my face knowing the audience had fun, as did I.

Last night, however, stands out as one of my favorite nights of trivia thus far! It was just an average Thursday - no theme night or holiday. However, our 10 teams at The Dudes were engaged and excited to be there. My unintentional puns rolled right of the tongue and the audience's laughter lightened the room!

We had some guests from out of town who said they always look for the bars with trivia when they visit. This duo, the Chick and the Duck, won our drinking round question! Did you know 18 million trees died in 2018? Seems like a lot - and it is - but that count is down significantly from 2017 and 2016. #TheMoreYouKnow

On a personal level, my friends finally reached the podium! We have been coming to trivia for longer than I've been a QM. It was with these friends that I discovered my desire to be a QM. We love trivia, but are not always the strongest competitors. However, the team members diversified and brought in some new teammates to score third! It was a nail-biting tie breaking final question to determine second and third place. While they should have double-or-nothinged on a round and would have taken first, we will settle for third! And I say we, but mean them. Just a proud stage mom!

Super fun night and looking forward to next week where I heard my real mom will be in attendance. It'll be a family affair The Dudes next week. Bring your mom!!
