- PUB QUIZ—Thursdays @ 7:30pm
Slow night for a usually packed place, but we still had over 40 players. Tonight was a breakthrough night. I've been using a bum speaker since first hosting and didn't realize it. I guess I just thought that that was how the PA system was supposed to sound. The system at my other gig is good, but the one I have in my trunk for this locale hasn't been. I believe it's gotten worse lately as well. Got the new speaker replacement today and MAN it felt great! You can actually hear music properly and my voice on mic is legit! I had been tentative while using the mic and now I can just speak freely and not have to get too close. It really is just so liberating
It was an especially good night in terms of energy. Everyone seemed to be in great spirits. There was electricity in the air. Starting to build more of a rapport with specific players/teams. Really had a good time, and looking forward to the future with this rad speaker/sound!
Moral: make sure your sound system is up to par 😉
Did bad math at the end tonight but winning team corrected me- I checked my math, saw the mistake and awarded prizes accordingly. Thank you, Pasadena Peeps for keeping me on my toes and well done tonight !

Another full house tonight. Felt good about the songs I chose to go with certain rounds/questions. Starting to build a rapport with some teams. Cheers!

Solid night. Was able to get done before 10pm which was nice. Finding a way to streamline everything. For the drinking round I had them name as many numerals as possible after the decimal in pi.
