   Another stellar Monday of friendly, competitive trivia at Red Star. There were a couple of newbies this game; to which I say "the more, the merrier" They might even become my future regulars, fingers crossed. Anyways, how about I give you the scoop on the evenings 

   Contestants had to guess the name of well-known bartenders and servers from TV land. Round three involved Barry Bonds and breakfast food. Grammy Award winning band Maroon 5 were the subject of "Guess Who". "Find the Connection" was blue dah-boo-de-dah-boo-dah. Teams had to match the yummy treat with its delicious filling. And in the final round, players had to list the five members of Traveling Wilburys and the original five members of the Avengers from issue #1. Alright, now for the teams who earned themselves a win.

  New coming team Everything Bagel put themselves in second-to-last with 28 points.  Jumping in second place was Rebel Strike Force scoring 49 points. And returning champs Worst Shorts Ever continue their first place reign with a total of 53 points.

   It's officially summertime! The days last longer, the sun is giving people their much needed Vitamin D, and it's starting to get warm outside. What a better time to chill out at a bar; drinking refreshing cocktails or beers and flexing the brain muscles playing trivia. Here's the lowdown on the evening's festivities.

   The second round was a blast from Nickelodeon's past in the visual round. Round three was quite "peachy" to say the least. Dom Torretto, iconic character from the Fast and the Furious franchise portrayed by Vin Diesel, was who the teams had to guess. Stool was the big connection in round five. Players had to match the race to the location its held at. Finally, the contestants had to list the top 10 largest university libraries with the most titles. Now, onto the teams who came out victorious. 

   Coming in second-to-last place was Clandon earning 32 points. Returning team Medio-core received second place with a total of 41 points. And The Droids You're Looking For win the game scoring 48 points.  Great effort, guys!

   It was great seeing everyone out on Memorial day weekend. I hope trivia was a great send-off for those who played. I am tremendously grateful for those regulars who stop in and play when they have availability. It's also awesome to have new teams join in on game night! I must be doing my job right if I see familiar faces again and again. This is Brittany, you Quizmaster, signing off!
