I want to discuss the game but I really think we need to focus on that drinking round. The "Hardest Words to Draw in the History of Pictionary" was supposed to be an easy 5 minute game. As I was writing down the selection cards, I couldn't even fathom how I would draw half of these items. But you - you, my lovely trivia players - are much more creative than I gave you credit for. A 5 minute game turned into 15 minutes of drawing, sketching, screaming and pencil breaking. Who would have thought you'd be able to draw "hydrogen"?!

So, this couple in the picture did not win trivia tonight. They also didn't play trivia tonight. No, they were from Germany and thought that we were doing a live HQ trivia event and that I was the host on the app - despite the fact that I don't have facial hair or go on talking for 10 minutes when everyone just wants to hear me read the questions. They were very excited even as I tried to tell them how wrong they were.

"We just wanted to meet celebrity here in California" the woman exclaimed to me happily, wearing a Harry Potter shirt.

It's just really too bad that she didn't notice the guy who was sitting next to her, on the same side of the booth, playing trivia. That guy?

Neville Longbottom from the Harry Potter movies.
