Tonight's crowd was playful and made my job incredibly easy. For tonight's drinking round, I asked everyone to write me a G-rated joke--something they'd feel comfortable telling both their 90-year-old nana and 9-year-old niece. I had such a hard time picking a favorite, but Surprise. Beans. won with:
"My friend couldn't pay his water bill... I told him to get well soon.
I know, I know... I hate dry humor too."
I also received a cute drawing of a Dementor from Azkaban, and supposedly the Girl Scouts of America have a cookie called "Gluten-Free BS". Good stuff.
Terence Jones and the Rockettes were great tonight--they double-or-nothing'd twice in a row! I've seen them a few times and they're always a great group. Yaasss Queens trailed close behind the whole game, and with a name like that, of course I was stoked to give them their prize.
We had a handful of newcomers tonight, and they were great sports! Hopefully you all will come back again, whether it's at the Federal or somewhere else around the city.

Terrence Jones and his Rockettes were on FIRE this week. Not only did they eek out a first place victory over The Trivial Pursuers, but they also won the drinking round! All our teams had extremely strong showings and we had 5 of our teams within 5 points of each other going in to the last round.
Side note, The Purple Boys were not wearing purple. I was wearing purple. I am just realizing that they may have been talking about me with their team name. I hope more teams name themselves after me in future games.
Come name your team after me EVERY Monday at 8:30pm at The Federal!

Fantastic night of Trivia! Big Day Fart(a team name I had to repeatedly say on the microphone to a restaurant full of people) took an early lead AND won the drinking round before Yaasss Queens slid in to first in the last two rounds with TWO double or nothings. In the end of the day, we all learned one very important thing: I went to theatre school and can't do math so good.
See you next week at 8:30!
