(626) 405-9777
- PUB QUIZ—Thursdays @ 7:30pm
After a wee bit of trouble connecting my pc to the PA, finally got the music up and running and the show going. It is starting to get a tad nippy outside on the patio (with such warm temps during the day, odd how at night it cools down, desert climate anyone- LA folks are sensitive, ok?), but we were blessed that there was no game (or was it already over?) on the tv's, which means we had a nice empty patio. With plenty of room to table up for trivia, we expanded our craniums with facts and even had a limbo contest for the drinking round! Been meaning to try this for a while, I had one of the Second Cousins (thanks, Ben!) help me hold a yard stick (see pix) for the limbo. Some teams dropped out or took a knee right away, but it came down to reps from Purple Monkey Dishwasher and Raiders at the end, with Raiders prevailing. Second Cousins took 3rd tonight, with Purple Monkey Dishwasher taking second and Pasadena Peeps rocking first with an impressive score. See y'all next week!

This was a game to remember! We had rivaleries, coalitions, and and doppelgänger names between Pasadena Peeps and Pasadena Pals. There wasn't an empty seat in the house! After an emotional first leg of the trivia and an ABBA themed drinking round, teams began to buckle down to prep for a win (or lose). But finally - Pasadena Pals took the KT victory!

Late start tonight. Reckoning I've figured out why Barney's moved the start time from 8 to 9pm. The Thursday night football game would conflict. We have had some close calls but tonight the game (no overtime) went to bascially 9pm. Apparently the Bucs barely beat the Cowboys. Tom Brady does it again. Well, the kickers did it, really. I was worried there would not be places to sit since the patio was THAT packed. It worked out though, with one team even sitting in the front patio past the sidewalk (you cannot drink if you're sitting there though!).
Ok so we started late and we had a huge and lively group from CalTech. The app seems to be something we are all getting more adept at and the show is tightening up, time-wise. There was some back and forth in the first few rounds but the Pasadena Peeps declared their dominance by some key double downs and making their lead insurmountable going into round 7. Purple Monkey Dishwasher took second and Second Cousins took third, with the Peeps also clinching the drinking round. They were the only team to get all five of my questions correct. In honor of California earning its statehood on this date in 1850, I asked the teams to name the state nickname, motto, anthem, bird and flower. Congrats!
