About Rocco's Tavern - Culver City
Good food, good drinks, good fun!
Good food, good drinks, good fun!
In what will forever be remembered as Shannon's swan song -- it was a team that came see her last King Trivia shift that swooped on in, knew their blocks, green things and pizza places. Yes, Ken Jennings' children out of wedlock were a first time player and long time winner at Rocco's King Trivia.
Taking second -- a reluctant group, who decided last minute to grab a booklet, and those Tater Tots played -- right into 2nd place.
And 3rd? A tie-breaker, you either know your Pizza Hut buildings or you don't - our Itty Bitty Ditty Committee did, and there you have it.
Welcome to the hijinks on Monday's at the Rocco's in Culver City...

Was that a fever dream or did Lou Bega with a little Monica by his side truly turn the tide at King Trivia night at Rocco's on Monday?
It was not, and as part of the collective Find the Connection round, the Itty Bitty Ditty Committee went back to back as champions using a well-timed successful double or nothing to propel themselves into first, which they held on as 2nd place got crossed up on the artists and their points of origin. Who knew J. Cole calls Germany his place of birth.
It was, however, a case of what could have been -- as the aforementioned second place team - Bed, Bath & Beyonce (clever team name, ya'll), came up with all correct on round 5, but did not check that tempting X next to double or nothing, as there competitors did, which caused a 2nd place result.
And then our third place team last night, Mr. T Says Curling is Cool, Fool.... the tradition of finishing in the money continues. They come, they see, they answer, and they go home sponsored yet again by Rocco's. A model of consistency.
See you next -- a mix of competition, fun, Rocco's buck and free drinks predicated on your music knowledge. A night that is not to be missed...

Double Or Nothing -- you cruel mistress. Some nights, it brings you to the top from way back, or stakes you to an insurmountable lead -- but, sometimes SOMETIMES you become Icarus, flying too close to the 2x or nothing sun, and an early lead evaporates into a tie-breaker for 3rd.
Once again 2 Girls'1Chris showed their mettle, once again this Quizmaster's intense popularity pulled their attention away from trivia, and straight to the Itty Bitty Ditty Committee -- who used a successful double round 3, a quick Michael Jackson identification, and the power of winning the drinking round to claim the Monday night title.
First timers, Crab Cake Fannypack snapped on in to a 2nd place finish, helped YES helped (camaraderie ya'll!) by our third place tie-break winners, Mr. T Says, Curling is Cool, Fool!
Until next week...
