- PUB QUIZ—Thursdays @ 7:30pm
We had a good time on this All Hallow's Eve! We had a lot of non players in costumes come down to the basement which made things a little loud, sadly they didn't arrive early enough to join the game before round 6. See pics for yours truly as a Never Nude (from Arrested Development).
In the end, the teams playing all won prizes!

After two weeks off it was great to be back with my Barney's people 🙂 Had a fun night- for the drinking round, in honor of Annie Taylor being the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel on this date in 1901, I asked them to come up with other methods of people going over the falls. Three teams tied with 4 methods but it was The Greatest who won the tie breaker (you can be fined up to how much $ if you go over the falls? [it's illegal], $25k max fine). In the end, it was I'm Not Saying That taking first with a giant double in the final round, Second Cousins winning a tie breaker to take (yup, you guessed it, second!), and Where the White Women @? taking third (they would've taken second if they had registered their team).

What a night at Barney's Beanery Pasadena! The players (or playas as some of them prefer to be called) answered questions about Sex and the City, female politicians, and indie films starring Saiorse Ronan--a very special shout out to the team who said Laurie Metcalf was nominated for her work in Something About Mary--I may have missed her in that one, but I'll keep an eye out next time.
A big congrats to our winners Da Bears, our second place team the Pasadena Peeps, and our third place team Club Obi-wan, who snagged that spot with an impressive successful double in the final round.
Thank you to all the players for coming out tonight and making this such a fun show, as well as the kind staff at Barney's Beanery. It was a pleasure serving as your quizmaster this week.
