QUIZ RECAP

It was a bittersweet sort of fun tonight.  Sweet as in King Trivia is always a blast at Pitcher House while surrounded by good people.  Bitter as in after 5 years of hosting trivia at PH, Jon Austin hung up his microphone laces as a full-timer.  It was a pleasure to play while John and his boo Vickie were tag-teaming Trivia all those Thursday nights.  I am going to have Jon guest host quite often though!

So this was the last trivia at Pitcher House for Nov 2016 with Thanksgiving being Thursday of next week.

Round 1:  This was a good round for those who like good movies.  Featured Star Wars (Pictured:  Jango Fett), The Princess Bride, and a James Bond title.

Round 2:  If you know your celebrity chefs, this round was for you.  Not so many teams did so good.  (Pictured:  highly unrecognizable Christina Tosi.)

Round 3:  The scientific study of dreams is called Oneirology

Round 4 (Who am I?):  These are tricky when it's a fictional character. Who remembers that Jimmy Olsen once worked in TV before becoming a newspaper reporter and a friend of Superman?

Round 7:  With Thanksgiving coming up, players had to name the artist for all song titles containing some version of "Thank You." Included John Denver, Golden Girls song, ABBA, Dido, and Alanis Morissette.
