I'm going to use this time to tell you how crazy our winners tonight were. Our second place winners included my former quiz master over at the Red Dogg! Jonathan introduced Washington trivia to me, so thank you for coming out tonight! Our first place winners came in late tonight and missed the first round! But they doubled on a couple rounds and managed to make it to the top! Congrats on your Shakespeare knowledge. Our best wrong answer went to the team that really thought Gertrude Stein was Michael Cera. My parents came to visit tonight and unfortunately finished in a tie for fourth. They said they needed me for some answers, but I gotta keep the quiz honest so they got nothing out of me. And my boyfriend couldn't make it tonight and was so mad that he wasn't around for his Godzilla knowledge. What a nerd. 
I hope to see all of you next week for another round!

Tonight we had the busiest week I've seen at Red Star! Maybe people were trying to get away from all the smoke from Canada or maybe people really just wanted a taco on a Monday. One of the teams told me about a show called the taco chronicles on Netflix that inspired him to come out for some street tacos tonight. Somehow I've never heard of it and they're on their third season! 

We had a wild ride at trivia tonight, lots of people tried asking the wait staff what plays they knew from round six, but I had eyes and ears everywhere to make sure there were no cheaters. We had a surprise integrity trophy to give out for a team that was celebrating an old friend moving away. Team quizzantine empire got my favorite wrong answer of the night for "Bigger Banger Theory." We had a returning champ from our regulars Chupa Cobras who were out the past couple weeks, but came back swinging! And our second place came down to a tie breaker. Barn animals were able to squeak out that victory second prize away from the MVPosey. 

Had a blast just like always, hope to see you guys next week for another round!

Another Monday, another round of trivia at Red Star! We were all bested by the barbies, although pretty sure I saw a ken in there. But we all know he was kenough. God that movie's good, who would've thought a touching movie about your legacy and what it means to be a fulfilled human would come from a plastic doll? 

Ok I need to get over Ryan Gosling's abs and talk about trivia. Turns out we all are pretty good at cartoon catch phrases, but a surprising number of people haven't seen top chef. Everyone knew Hell's Kitchen though, probably from all the memes. I know if I ever need to call someone an idiot sandwich I think of Gordon Ramsey. I think this was our easiest guess who round so far because every one knew the doctor. Although a fair amount did call him dr who, which is more a question that shows up a lot in the show and not his actual name. But the true nerds knew that. Hope to see all your lovely nerdy faces back at trivia next week for another round!
