A big thank you to all our teams that chose to spend their Cinco de Mayo evening with the crowd at JJ Pfister Distillery.  I was happy to see both some familiar faces and new faces among our teams tonight.  Our teams were grilled on a variety of topics tonight, from people named Kelly to the gadgets used by comic book superheroes.  From the start, our teams proved to be evenly matched and, going into our penultimate round, our first and last place teams were separated by a mere four points.  However, Team RB made a bold double or nothing in round six, launching them into a comfortable first place and leaving our remaining teams to battle it out for our second-place spot (and with only two points between our three remaining teams, it could have been anybody).

In the end, Team RB and Meatball Paul and the Cabal walked away with gift certificates for JJ Pfister.  I hope to see everyone around next week for food, drinks, and trivia!

It was a beautiful day to be back at JJ Pfister Distillery and our teams were pumped for a night of trivia.  Our teams’ knowledge was tested on questions that ranged from a round based around that classic film Snakes on a Plane to television show creators.  From the start, teams Them and Team DenJay were in a dead heat with one another, tied for the first four rounds of the game.  Then, in round five, Them pulled ahead with a double or nothing.  Then it was a battle between Team DenJay and The Defectors for the second place. 

In the end, Them took our coveted top stop of the evening and The Defectors took second place after a strong showing in the final two rounds.  Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 for food, drink, and trivia!

My desire for a rain free evening was answered at the last minute and we a had a full house of eager minds looking to test their trivia knowledge while downing delicious cocktails.  We had some interesting rounds this evening from a mystery novel themed round to a Winnie the Pooh/William “The Refrigerator” Perry round (I never thought I’d see those two combined into one themed round, but there you go).  Returning Team Chad got off to an early head start with a successful double or nothing in the first round, managing to hold onto that lead while team You’re a Quizzard, Harry! started to gain on them later on in the game.  It all came down to our final round, which tested our teams’ knowledge of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and guitar greats.  Team Chad were ultimately able to hold onto their lead and claimed the trivia crown of the week.

Team Chad and team You’re a Quizzard, Harry! both walked away with prizes tonight, with Team Chad winning the special prize of tickets to the Taco Throwdown this Saturday ($120 value).  I hope to see everyone again next week!
