QUIZ RECAP

It was an epic evening with a long wait for the Dodgers/Giants baseball playoff game at Barney's. And then there was a tie score still in the 8th inning. Would we go into extra innings? Dodgers clinched the series with a run scored.  Lots of opportunities for songs in movies due to the questions and rounds tonight.  

The Pasadena Peeps took third, eking it out against Frendan Braser by one point, with their satellite team the Beeps taking second. Welcome back to veteran team Purple Monkey Dishwasher, they had missed a few weeks, and they took the top spot tonight.

It's cooling down enough that I had to wear a beanie to keep the noggin and ears warm, not to mention a sweater. Which is definitely welcome, seeing that I love autumn weather. 

Good music, good company, some new teams. I even procured a small white board which is perfect for the new join code each week. 

It was a Pasadena Peeps game for most of the evening but in the end it was their satellite team, the Pasadena Beeps that prevailed, coming from behind in the last round. Peeps took second (and the drinking round!) with Trivia Rodrigo placing for the first time with third.

In homage to Edgar Allen Poe passing on this day in 1849, I had them write as many Poe short story titles as they could think of for the drinking round. The Peeps won with six correct (see pix for their answers).

Seems like Barney's isn't seating as many people on the patio now, and they are reserving a table for the quizmaster at one end. Before, we had so many groups finishing up a football game for Thursday Night Football so it's nice that they are accommodating us outside now. 

The night progressed with Second Cousins and You Thought We Smelled Bad on the Outside with a neck and neck tie for first during the initial three rounds. Pasadena Beeps pulled ahead though and claimed first with You Thought We Smelled taking second and Second Cousins securing third. 

For the drinking round, I had them guess what the seven busiest stations are in the London underground as of 2018. This proved to be quite challenging with Pasadena Beeps and Pasadena Peeps breaking a tie of two correct, and the later securing the win and a pitcher of beer.

See ya next week!
