SURVEY SLAM RECAP

We had such a fantastic time kicking off the world premiere of the first-ever Survey Slam at The Famous!

As the World Series Game 6 played on screens behind us, the most exciting game was the one unfolding live, as five teams battled it out for the title of Survey Slam First-Ever Champion with David on the mic and his amazing Postmodern Jukebox tunes.

After starting the night with a three-way tie between Not Penny's Goat, Astros Girl, and We Want Free Beer!, it was We Want Free Beer! who began to creep, then pull on ahead.

However, after a successful five-question round in Round 5, earning three points apiece for their stellar knowledge of Random Opinions, Not Penny's Goat ran off with the lead and could not be caught.

Props to some fun (though incorrect) answers of the night --

"What horror movie villain would make the best parent?"
-The Joker
-Pennywise from IT
-Alien

"Name a famous ghost."
-Bruce Willis' character from the Sixth Sense (OMG sorry spoiler alert retroactively!!)

"A millennial zombie doesn't care too much for braaaaains, they much prefer..."
-Love/passion
-Starbucks

And of course,

"Name a famous vampire."
-Count van Count
-Count from Sesame Street

Maybe I'll be Count van Count for Halloween next year!

Cuz this week at the Famous, I was a scaredy-cat. But oh wait I'm already one in real life so maybe that's not a costume. I'm like the 67% of very honest survey takers who admit to being scaredy-cats instead of scare seekers.

So awesome to train with pro David and also to see Tom and his daughter come out to play and dominate!
