The Famous craft cocktail lounge is located in Glendale's historic Huntley-Evans building, directly across the street from the Americana at Brand. It follows an eclectic and rich pedigree of establishments that have called this building home in the last century, most notably the early Glendale landmark, The Famous Department Store.
What a ho-ho-ho holiday fun-filled trivia night we had at The Famous!
I am so grateful for the adventures that we've had together from Halloween until Christmas now and thank you to the wonderful teams who played tonight with repeat Slammers Kristina and Jim from two different teams.
Jim's been playing since November and has become the bona fide Survey Pro and Kristina just came in last week and got hooked on the joy of Survey Slam so brought her friend, Jim, to intro him to the game! And then we all talked until we were all super warm standing by the Christmas tree LOL for an hour even after Survey Slam ended. "And you thought Survey Slam got heated? Well see what happens after hours!"
What I had not seen before yet but we achieved tonight -- we got everyone who was in the bar to play!!
Animal Crackers was on their way out, having closed out their tab at 7:50PM but I encouraged them to play a few rounds and they said "sure...a few rounds."
And guess what -- they nabbed the lead the whole night and ended the night with the big W!
And how about Pattyflafla doing so well with their initial rounds and then when they had to leave, they gave their sheets to the pair next to them so that pair inherited the points, then built up on them and fell in love with Survey Slam, too, getting a perfect score on the handout.
We had so many impressive moments in the game --
Like when we had a five-way tie with nine points apiece between teams in Round Five.
And Team Barbara Claus slaying as always with
"What would Mrs. Claus like for Christmas?"
-(joking) A NAME!
Hence Barbara Claus the team was born.
And Animal Crackers said "a vibrator."
Me: well "alone time" is the second most popular answer. Should vibrator count? Okay let's count that!
(Cheers from whole bar)
And then Animal Crackers got a perfect Round Seven naming all those Santa prefix locations!
Other fun (though incorrect) answers:
"Name something a cheapskate would wrap presents in to avoid buying wrapping paper."
-Last year's wrapping paper!
"What is the first Elf quote you can think of?"
-Everyone names a different one -- which made them even more enjoyable to read out loud!
All in all, thank you to everyone for making me feel so at home at The Famous! Especially T, Adam, Joseph, and Swan!
I definitely am coming back to visit and play in 2020.
You made my holiday season so thoroughly happy!
Thank you, Famous FAMily, for all clapping for me to send me off! 🙂
