Nice to hear "we missed you" from multiple teams after a week off. With Da Bears noticeably missing (first I've seen of it- thank you for the team name the week prior!), we had nine teams battle it out this evening. We even had a couple of employees join us for a few rounds halfway through.

This was probably my most favorite video round ever (Rick and Morty Interdimensional Cable ftw).

In honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day on this day, I had them name the five beach code names in Normandy. Three teams knew what was up but it was Twinkie Time that prevailed with the tiebreaker.

In the end, it was Purple Monkey Dishwasher with a big double near end of game that took home first place, with Pasadena Peeps and Second Cousins (welcome back) rounding out the leader board.

Wow - what a blast guest hosting at Barney's in Pasadena. Super group of people. Lots of regulars and a few newcomers, it was great meeting everyone during the evening.

The game was close for a LOT of the teams all the way thru till the end.

Purple Monkey Dishwasher bring in the first prize. Second went to Where Did Carlos Go? - aka Da Bears and third went to PhilosoRaptors- a group of 4 teachers celebrating only one more day of school before summer break!

The drinking round was 'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but Donald Trump's nicknames will never hurt me' - in which the teams had to provide Donald Trump's favorite nicknames for 10 individuals. Purple Monkey Dishwasher won the round with 6 correct answers but gave the pitcher of beer to the last place team - Girls Night Out.

Barney's in Pasadena is a great place to come out and play trivia. Hope to be back again soon.

Smaller numbers does not mean less fun. We had seven teams that battled it out tonight, for the drinking round I had them name as many great houses (and house words) they could from Game of Thrones- a point for each house and house words. We had a tie so I had them guess how many total houses are known in the Game of Thrones world and they guessed so low! Da Bears beat out Pasadena Peeps but donated their pitcher to a lower points team. Always admirable. Who knew there were 463 houses ? Kudos to Pasadena Peeps for dominating and getting all the marshmallows correct in the last round.
