Wow-wee! What a fantastic evening of trivial madness. So much competition last night. At times, i was on the edge of my seat by the end of the game. Let me go back to yesterday now.
In the second round, the players had to guess the name of the chain restaurant by the image of its well-known dish. The was plenty of "Tom" foolery. The featured "Guess Who" star was Park & Rec's own Rashida Jones. "Find the Connection" was as brutal as a game of hockey. The teams had to match up the Robert De Niro quote to the film he starred in. Finally, the contestants were asked to list off the countries and oceans in the prime meridian. Now, for the teams who made the cut.
Coming in second-to-last place was Hot Smoking Mamas with 16 points. Last weeks winning team No Babies At The Bar placed second with a score of 41 points. The top team of the night was Kai’s Baby Shower Crew scoring themselves 57 points. Congratulations, guys!
A job well done, teams. I'm so glad that everyone had an awesome time playing trivia. Also, thanks to the teams who returned again. This is Brittany, your Quizmaster, signing off!

Happy August! The evening was a comfortable 80-something degrees compared to the scorcher that was last weekend. A few teams from previous trivia nights participated in the festivities. Also, there were some new teams that were pretty dang skillful when it came to trivial knowledge. Okay, here are the best bits of the game!
The teams had to guess the name of the queens in media for the visual round. Round three questions were stealth sneaky. Hip-Hop mogul and "best rapper alive" Sean Carter, but he's best known by his stage name Jay-Z, was the "Guess Who" of the evening. Round five was mighty like a mouse. The player were asked to match the TV series to the US cities and states they're set in. And in the final round, the contestants had to list off the 10 brightest natural objects in the sky. Onto the winning teams of the evening.
Previous winners Medio-core were second-to-last with a score of 31 points. Another familiar name from trivia night, The Droids You're Looking For, placed second with 48 points. And climbing up to first place was No Babies At The Bar earning a whopping 64 points. They did have a baby at their table, it could be one of those baby geniuses. Hahaha!
It was a tight game. All the final scores from each team was pretty good. Everyone really put their all in. Outstand job, guys! This was a fantastic night of trivia. This is Brittany, your Quizmaster, signing off!

The house was packed at Red Star. So many patrons out to enjoy a summer evening with a tasty dinner and cooling refreshments. Also, to kick some butt playing some rounds of trivia. Wanna know how the game went? Well, well, well, stick around to find out!
Round two was centered around Dame Helen Mirren. It was another day in the office for round three. Denver Broncos Quarterback John Elway was the evening's "Guess Who" athlete. Round five was pretty in pink. Teams had to match the jams to the Lil' rapper they're performed by. In the final round, contestants were to list off six of the natural occurring noble gases and the member of the super hero troop, the Fantastic Four. Now, onto the night's winners!
The team in second-to-last place was Team Win scoring 13 points. Coming in second place was 3rd Place, ironically, with 45 points. Winning first place was Red Star regular team The Droids You're Looking For earning 53 points. Woo-hoo! (I'm doing my best Homer Simpson impression)
