With a colder temperature upon us, trivia remained HOT with competition.
Straight Outta Compton actor R. Marcos Taylor (Suge Knight) joined us for trivia this evening, and by joined us, I mean did not participate at all, and ate delicious pasta in the very back of the outside patio.
I made eye contact with him a couple times, and jeez, he is enormous. I knew he was an actor, but he also played Suge Knight, so you gotta think there... is he method? As I looked nervously around our guests, who were clueless from the potential peril there were in, I had to only do one thing: Perform Nervously Awesome Trivia.
And I did.
And he did nothing to stop me.

Oh yeah, we had a great night tonight. A Team Has No Name cautiously took 1st place, choosing not to double in a few cases. Happy Jew Year celebrated a day early with second place. Kool Kidz Table took more of the fire pit seating, so while they did not actually live up to their name, they did take 3rd place as well as the drinking round!
For our Emmy considerations, teams were instructed to come up with their own idea for an award! Awesome job!
Collectively Uncomfortable had a major comeback at the end, but fell a bit short. Quizzy Stardust (veterans of course) hung tough the whole evening but started off a little too shaky.
Duo Band Aid's Tale did their best to stay afloat. Targaryen Family Reunion stopped by Maury Pouvich for DNA results and finished outside the top 5.
Vets Milk Lords, couldn't string together enough solid rounds, sadly.
TST3K, Deep State 2020, Team Ugly, Straight Outta Answers and Sprinkles despite their amateur entry, were no match for the mighty vets. Practice makes perfect, and hope to see you all out again next week!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back!
After a week vacation to sin city, yours truly returned for some action pack trivia. Well.. maybe not action packed, BUT IT WAS STILL FUN!
The Milk Lords took an early lead and like a crazy ex, refused to let go (of it), and wound up as your winners.
With a tough double down miss, then a double down missed opportunity, A Team Has No Name settled for second.
Although they ended up in 3rd place, Ted Cruzin' For Porn, easily took home the top spot for best team name.
After a small drop off, Blue and Black, as well as The Kool Kidz Table mounted a valiant effort to squeak into the top 3, but just missed.
Now regulars The Underdawgs battled it out with vets Quizzy Stardust, the group on the bench, The Fairy Manilows, as well as the trio of Jonathan Heckman, who gave me the most confident double down answer sheet to memory, even though they didn't get them all right. #bummerdude
The Targaryen Family Reunion is still waiting for next season to kick it into gear, and the alliteration favorites Pale Ale Monorail finished up in the rear.
It was a pleasant night for all, with the Pitfire roaring, see you all next week!
