QUIZ RECAP
Hey gang,
Apologies for the delay in blogging; I got a pretty gnarly cold last week and have been stuck indoors at home where I have no Wi-Fi (I know, I know...I don't blame you for judging me).
Let's get to the Trivia! What a blast it was to cover for Sara over at 1739 Public House in Los Feliz, one of my favorite neighborhood bars. Points go to all our regulars here, who had some of the BEST and most hilarious group names.
Congrats to SYPHILLIS TSUNAMI on their win and also to THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS DUDES SEAN HAS BLOWN IS for their drinking round win! I'm super impressed you were able to recognize all Oscar-nominated or winning film scores--well done!
Hope you guys had as much fun as I did! Sara is back this week with clear sinuses now that the rain has come and the pollen count is down!

QUIZ RECAP
It was a wild 'n' crazy night at trivia this week--so many teams! So many people! So much questions!
Competition was fierce and at the end of it all, our 3-week-streak 1st place champs, Bruce Jennertalia, finally got beat down to 3rd place (hey, at least still in the top 3, right guys?!). Who beat them, you ask? Their fiercest rivals, Fear of Flying and Elbow Grease, who ended tied for first place! But, in the end, that's what tiebreakers are for.
Our Drinking Bonus Round this week was a little chaotic thanks to a poorly-planned out attempted game of Red Hands by yours truly, but our triva-ers were gracious and at the end of the slapping (and number-guessing) one team returned to their table victorious with beer: Quizteama Aguilera! Congrats!
See everyone next week!

QUIZ RECAP
A full house at 1739 Public House this week! It was a rowdy time but our teams managed to stay focused and rack up some impressive scores. Some of our regular teams simply were no match for The Taylors and Thank You Mask Man, who ended in 3rd and 2nd place. But the team who rose above them all was, yet again, Bruce Jennertalia! Their winning streak is getting a bit showy, dontcha think??
This week's Drinking Bonus Round was one of my all-time absolute favorites. Yes, it cost your Quizmaster a sleeve of Oreos, but watching our trivia players try to move a cookie across their face, from forehead to mouth, using only their face muscles was priceless. If only I had taken video. The winner was the representative from The Very Stable Geniuses, who put on quite the display of facial control/contortion. Congrats!!!
See y'all next week!
