- PUB QUIZ—Thursdays @ 7:30pm
After a week off due to 4th of July, we were back at it. I had a shadow, Nick, as seen in the last picture. He did well and was a great help. We had two teams that were well over 10 people and split into two teams. After a fair amount of fluctuation, it was Club Obi Wan that took third, and The Reboot Nobody Asked For, the satellite team to Pasadena Peeps, second, and lo and behold, Pasadena Peeps that took first. Very impressive and well done, your spilt teams took the top two spots!

Not gonna lie, I'm gonna miss these wild bohemians next week since we are off on account of Independence Day. It's always a good time here and I really enjoyed our drinking round. I had them send a rep up from each team and they took turns naming Hogwarts professors until some one couldn't and then they were out. Big ups to India Pale Ale-iens for triumphing and winning a pitcher of beer. Their rep even knew Neville Longbottom became the Herbology professor after Sprout retired in the last book.
It was a tough round three since many teams doubled down on the "day" theme and got tripped up by the Beatles question. Many answered Hard Day's Night or Yesterday but lo and behold they have a third song and the correct answer was Day Tripper. In the end it was Da Bears that took third and ended their two week winning streak, Club Obi Wan taking second with a couple of late game doubles, and satellite team to Pasadena Peeps, Something Clever, that prevailed.

A yuge night tonight with 14 teams and well over 60 players. In fact, we ran out of tables and it was the first time I saw a team using a barrel to write answers down.
Hadn't seen Anatomasters in a while so welcome back to them. It was a hard fought game tonight but it was Da Bears that took home the gold (two weeks in a row I reckon so this is a start of a streak). They dominated all night, with Pasadena Peeps taking second and Second Cousins landing a big double in the last round to jump into third. I even made it into the pic with Second Cousins (thanks for asking me to be in your pic, gents!)
For the drinking round, I resurrected an oldie but goodie from my regular Tuesday night as a player and had them send a rep from each team to show us their best moonwalk (credit to Michael Miller for the round- years ago at the Tam o Shanter). It ended up being a showdown between Purple Monkey Dishwasher and Anatomasters but the crowd was a tad louder for the latter so congrats to them and thank you to all for the MJ moves!
