Weekly Recap

Tuesday night was another small game at the Granville. The good news is that we were able to get some of the Granville employees in the game playing. It was a back and forth game between two teams with the Granville-billies pulling out the win in the last round.

Over at Molly's, most folks confused St. Nicholas with St. Jude (simple mistake), did better than expected in the Keri Russell round, and knew more about the Bo Knows commercials than we would have thought. Several teams competed for the win, but in the last round, We Don't Know dominated.

We moved things around on Wednesday. Chris is now at Molly's and Ben is now at The Bard's Town. We'll see how that works out.

Things seemed to go well The Bard's Town. We had 13 teams, which is a big improvement from the past couple of weeks (we'll blame the Derby events and great weather). The fictional games round was tough, but people enjoyed the '90s alternative Weird Al polka round. Not many Google+ users, but at least that question resulted in a lot of creative answers. If She Were Shorter and Shaved the Mustache started a bit slow but walked away a winner this week.

At Molly's, we had 15 teams! It was a very tight game with the leaders going back and forth all night. The  Louisville Strugglers had an amazing last round, taking them from 8th all the way to second but they were unable to hold off the Sea Shanties and Wet Panties, who took hold of the prize.

At Great Flood Brewery, we had a smaller turn out than last week, but we finally got the sound worked out. There was a lot of uproar about a couple of the answers (The Beatles question, the Bears 1985 Super Bowl win). In the end, Natalie Portmanteau reigned victorious.

Over at DiOrio's, The 2 Non Blondes defeated 10 other teams. What, you guys thought two women couldn't dominate a sports and rec round?

Playing Catch Up: A Weekly Recap

Last week was busy. Just plain pull-your-hair-out busy. Derby week usually is in Louisville. To top it off, we've got this crazy idea to host a special event for Star Wars Day, which took up even more of our precious time. Hopefully that event goes off without a hitch tonight. So, here are a few quips and a few pics from last week's games.

Wednesday night at Molly's and The Bard's Town we had some special Derby questions, and there was a high variance of results. Most teams seemed to liked it, but one team at Molly's wrote "horse racing is cruelty to animals" on their answer sheet. Fair enough. At The Bard's Town, we had an issue with the betting question and the word "profit." Our mistake.

The 70s music round was a challenge too--many people recognized the songs, but figuring out the artists was a lot tougher. It was also nice to see that we were back up to our normal number of teams this week after Waterfront Wednesday. Molly's winning team The Odd Squad requested no paparazzi, so there's no photo of them this week. At The Bard's Town, Six Hour Peacock snagged the win by a nose.

On Thursday, or Thurby as we're apparently calling it now, we had our regular game at DiOrio's and a brand new game at a brand new venue. It was apparently a tough game with some lower than usual scores. At DiOrio's team Bork dominated every round except the last one, but still walked away victorious by a single point.

Also on Thursday, we welcomed Jill to the team as she hosted our inaugural night at Great Flood Brewing Company. We're working on perfecting the sound, and may move our setup, but overall it went fairly well. We had seven teams finish the game with Pepcid Posse in the lead at 60 points. We're looking forward to seeing you fine folks again this Thursday.
