QUIZ RECAP
It was a packed house (both inside and out) at JJ Pfister tonight on a cool (for a June in Sacramento, anyway) evening. Our rounds ranged from the nicknames of American cities to a round centered around children’s book characters (all ones the you’d find at my favorite part of the school year, the Scholastic Book Fair). Out of the barrel of the gun, our teams were all separated by a mere two points so it was anyone’s game, but returning team Clan Stewart broke out of the pack with a successful double or nothing in our second round. However, teams Army of Dorkness (one of my favorite team names of all time) and Stoners were hot on their tails with strong performances in our subsequent rounds. When we reached our last round the top four teams were within a few points of one another, but we reached that dreaded topic that you either know or don’t know: video games. After our teams were asked to identify the most “iconic” video game characters of all time, the dust settled to find team Army of Dorkness in the top spot.
Team Army of Dorkness took the top spot of the night while Stoners took second place. Team Smartinis won the elusive mystery box of the night after I warned them not to be too creeped out when I hovered over their table to find out what was in the mystery box. Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 for cocktails, food, and trivia!

QUIZ RECAP
It was a packed night at JJ Pfister Distilling Company and, due to the hellish heat outside, I enjoyed much more company indoors than I’ve grown accustomed to on more temperate evenings. I was happy to see a mix of new and returning faces. Returning teams The Defectors and Team Chad got off to an early head start, both with a successful double or nothing in the first round. However, newcomers Acheson started to gain on them in round three with their own successful double or nothing. Questions tonight ranged from a Miami Vice themed round to LA landmarks. By our final round, our top three teams were separated by a mere two points. In the end, it came out to a round that asked our teams to identify the “greatest” Canadians (according to the Canadian Broadcasting Company).
In the end, Acheson took the top spot of the night and regulars Team Chad took second place. Team Trivia Rookies won the mystery bag of the night. Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 to beat the heat with some cold cocktails and trivia!

QUIZ RECAP
It was great to be back at JJ Pfister after a week off and we had a full house of eager minds looking to test their trivia might. Our topics ranged from a famous doctor themed round (can I take this opportunity to express my love for CNN’s Dr Sanjay Gupta) to a find the connection round all about US Vice Presidents. Team Yacht Girl Summer (which sounds like a lot more fun than a white boy summer) got off to an early head start with a successful double or nothing in round one, but multiple teams were hot on their heels as they held onto the first five rounds. However, in round six, returning Team Chad shot into a narrow lead after a successful double or nothing in round six. It all came down to our final round, which asked our teams about famous thespians that have won exactly three Academy Awards and the names of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
In the end, Team Chad took the coveted top spot of the night and Yacht Girl Summer took second place. Team That Walrus took the mystery bag tonight. Come around next Thursday at 6:30 for delicious cocktails, food and (most importantly, in my opinion) trivia!
