ICYMI: Last Night's Recap - 4/28/15

We had a full house last night at The Granville with plenty of folks playing the game. It was a younger crowd so some of the movie questions were a bit too old for them. Scores were a bit lower than usual, and the team with the most points had too many team members. The winning team was the Honeybadgers.

Over at Molly Malone's, the crowd was smaller than usual and we had a few folks throughout the game who didn't realize they weren't supposed to yell out answers, hum the theme songs to movies, or continuously whistle to the tune of "Let's Go Yankees!" All-in-all it was a good evening, despite Scott's inability to pronounce words like chauffeur and diplopia as well as names like Blackthorne, Chatham, and Lorre. The winning team, Don't Rain on My Pegasus Parade, struggled in the beginning, but took charge in the final round and reigned (pun intended) victorious.

4/26/15 Four Peg Recap

We had a smaller crowd this week due to the beautiful Spring weather. When the final decision came down on whether to continue with the game or not, Four Pegs decided it was a go to reward the dedicated teams who were there to have a great time with another great round of trivia. With a smaller crowd even the bartenders were able to become part of the fun. We had a pretty close game with the final score only separating 1st and 2nd place by just a few points. After everything was settled our winner was Laissez Bear. Laissez has been a staple at Four Pegs for awhile now always adding a twist to their Bear name. It was a hard fought win and well deserved. Congratulations, Lassiez Bear!

Last Night's Recap - Darn You Waterfront Wednesday

One of the great things about living in Louisville is that there is always something to do. Last night's weather was amazing and just so happened to be the kickoff of this year's Waterfront Wednesday. How do you compete with that? Attendance at trivia was a bit lower than usual, but we deal.

We had a fun game (don't we usually?) Chris was back at The Bard's Town from a nice trip to California, we had a one-hit wonders round from the '90s. It was just magical. One woman at Molly's yelled out "RUMPSHAKER!" when that song started to play. We let that one slide.

Team 309 was a no-show at Molly's, so we had a new champion creatively named Ice Bank Mice Elf. At The Bard's Town, frequent winning team Six Hour Peacock grabbed the win.

Quick Recap from 4/21/15 - Molly's and Granville

We had several new teams at The Granville, thanks in part to a very enthusiastic patron. One of our new teams actually took the win tonight, Smart Belwas. SPIT had the most points, but had 7 players so they did not qualify. Overall it was a great night.

At Molly Malone's we had 20 teams, several of which were new as well.  The Six Letter P Words round was a big hit. The Picture round of albums featuring animals on the covers was hit or miss. Some folks really enjoyed it, while others grunted and groaned as they turned it in. In the last round, folks were split when asked about an inscription about liberty.

At Molly's, there was quite a lot of competition, but in the end, Troll Toll gained the lead and walked away with bragging rights, even though half the team left before grabbing the gift card or a quick picture.
