Shakespeare, beer, and not having to run my own music? Sounds like my perfect night of trivia at 1730 Public House! With a slightly smaller crowd than usual, our regulars really shone last night. Winning the top place trivia cup was Gryffindwhores (who really should get t-shirts or Hogwarts scarves or maybe register their team name... just a suggestion, ladies). The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Has Blown Is and Fear of Flying duked it out for the #2 spot, leaving the rest of the crowd in the proverbial dust. Maybe next week, guys!
As our Bonus Drinking Round, the newcomers Lemon grabbed that free round by coming up with the best DJ name for my guest DJ, formerly known as DJ Unknown, since he had no name. But he does now! Thanks to Lemon, he is now officially known as (and will be for perpetuity)........ "DJ." I love it.
Til next week, gang!

I'M BACK!
After two horrible weeks trivia-less, I have returned. And what a night to come back! Tons of teams, tons of fun, tons of bruised thumbs.
The rivalry grows! Bruce Jennertalia, Fear of Flying, Havin a Blast Crisis all vied valiantly for the top spot, but in the end our intrepid first-floor team had the winning score! Welcome back to the top spot, guys.
Extra-happily for them and extra-grumpily for everyone else, Bruce Jennertalia were also the winners of the evening's Drinking Bonus Round: THUMB WARS: March Madness! A bracket was created, bids were negotiated, and in the end the BJ representative's thumb was the one that could not be beat. Congrats again!
See y'all next week!

Much love to LAZY SWAYZES for playing for the first time tonight. I know y'all just came in for a beer, but you joined us for trivia on a whim! Solid effort from this team of just two players who fought till the very end against a lot of teams that had 5-6 players each!
