On a night that truly felt like the beginning of summer, many teams were brave enough to leave the air-conditioned confines of their homes to make their way through the heat to the comforting confines of the Tam O'Shanter for trivia. In the Drinking Round, Hi Ho Silver rode into town as they do from time to time, showed their superior knowledge of Clint Eastwood films to take the win, and then rode off into the sunset. Meanwhile, the Flux Capacitors' DeLorean whisked them into a comfortable first place win in the game overall.

Big night at the Tam -- not a spare chair to be found, but plenty of fun was! The Find the Connection Round was about 50/50 as far as teams figuring out that the Beatles were the connection. And though they didn't have breakfast with the Beatles, the General Washingtons found their just desserts via the Drinking Round, which they were able to take after a tie they did break. With the Flux Capacitors and Aggressive Foreplay rounding out the top three, the Washingtons also sallied forth to a win in the overall game.
Meanwhile, though the above pictures of the winning teams are clearly lifelike renderings, your humble Quizmaster would like to inform you that they are not actually photographs. Nay, these images are in truth portraits executed after the fact using colored wax on paper (2019).

Always a pleasure to host a game at the usual locale where I play. Quite a slow night tonight with only four teams but a fierce competition was afoot nonetheless.
We lost a fifth team after round 4. The Nat 20's had the lead for most of the night, but after winning the drinking round, they fell behind both Aggressive Foreplay and the winners the General Washingtons. Congrats on the comeback win with a big double down in round six, General Washingtons!
