- PUB QUIZ—Thursdays @ 7:30pm
The feeling in the air was odd, we hadn't been here before, there are... POOL TABLES???
Tonight we got pushed out of our usual spot, and upstairs to the pool room, but that didn't stop the trivia suspense!!! (though it did delay it a little bit). After a soft round 1, we could feel this was going to be a high-scoring night (everyone got one question wrong at most).
Tired + Stupid pulled ahead for an early lead with the peeps and the cousins nipping at their heels the whole game! But everything changed in round 6 when Second Cousins got their 2nd consecutive double down!
As it so often does, everything came down to weed- I mean the wire! Round 7's lit question was high scoring as the rest of the night, but the 2nd Cousins pulled off a first (in my career) by de-throning the Pasadena Peeps in first place!
Hands were clapped, shirts were ripped, pool balls were clacked and hands were shaken.
Congrats to 2nd Cousins for coming in first, Pasadena Peeps for coming in second, and Da Bears for bringing it back into third in the last two rounds!
I had a ton of fun, and I hope y'all did too!

It was a warm and stuffy Thursday evening with many a speaker pop (sorry again about that all) when one of the most unprecedented round threes in my entire Quizmaster career took place!
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Of the twelve teams competing successfully doubled down on round three in a slithery slippery slround of slslslslsles.
Got carried away with the sl (that was the theme for round 3) but despite the high scores of the night, the game was incredibly close! A right answer and a pen was all that separated the Pasadena Peeps (1st) and 2nd Cousins (2nd), with Da Bears (3rd) only falling behind by an additional point!
It was a fun night overall, and I'm proud of all of the team's performances (I'm still blown away by that round 3)
Thanks to Barney's for having us, and as always, thanks to my girlfriend for being the cable to my speaker!

In the Words of "An American and an Italian Walk into a Bar", "It was a warm and humid Thursday evening" and the only thing more packed than the bar was the PULSE-POUNDING TRIVIA ACTION!!!!
The Purple Monkey Dishwashers came out of the gate with a commanding lead, and held it until the Pasadena Peeps came in all the way from third with a successful double down in the 6th round! but the Dishwashers were able to eek into 2nd place against Da Bears by about 3,763 Traffic Cones in the tiebreaker!
There were thrills, chills, spills, and multiple pronunciations of the same word (who the heck says GIF like jyfe???)
Congrats to Pasadena Peeps (pictured), Purple Monkey Dishwasher (pictured), and Da Bears (pictured) on their first, second and third placings respectively!
I'd also like to thank my girlfriend Tori for being there to support me emotionally!
Thank you all for a lovely night of trivia, I had a ball!
