Ah Valentine's Day... We had about half the teams as usual here, I guess folks were out doing stuff with a significant other. Lame. We had a good time though. I was especially tickled by my drinking round tonight, I had teams use the back of the picture round to make me a Valentine. Was quite impressed with what they were able to do in three minutes. My hopes were fulfilled by a team that made a "I Choo Choo Choose You" Valentine from The Simpsons. They even drew a little train. Spot on. There were poems and one team made a pop up Valentine somehow. Another team managed to make a cut out man, and when you pulled his legs, a certain *ahem* unit of the male anatomy popped up. Haha! Quite creative. I procured a playlist on my laptop and I think I'll continue to do so. Went over well- it takes more time to prep of course, but the positive response is undeniable.

We're the guinea pigs for a video round and I must say, it's quite cool to have it. A picture and matching rounds with handouts is always nice because it breaks the monotony of questions spoken out loud. The video round adds to this in a dynamic way. Heck, Jeopardy does it with Video Daily Doubles...
