It was a warm and stuffy Thursday evening with many a speaker pop (sorry again about that all) when one of the most unprecedented round threes in my entire Quizmaster career took place!
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Of the twelve teams competing successfully doubled down on round three in a slithery slippery slround of slslslslsles.
Got carried away with the sl (that was the theme for round 3) but despite the high scores of the night, the game was incredibly close! A right answer and a pen was all that separated the Pasadena Peeps (1st) and 2nd Cousins (2nd), with Da Bears (3rd) only falling behind by an additional point!
It was a fun night overall, and I'm proud of all of the team's performances (I'm still blown away by that round 3)
Thanks to Barney's for having us, and as always, thanks to my girlfriend for being the cable to my speaker!

In the Words of "An American and an Italian Walk into a Bar", "It was a warm and humid Thursday evening" and the only thing more packed than the bar was the PULSE-POUNDING TRIVIA ACTION!!!!
The Purple Monkey Dishwashers came out of the gate with a commanding lead, and held it until the Pasadena Peeps came in all the way from third with a successful double down in the 6th round! but the Dishwashers were able to eek into 2nd place against Da Bears by about 3,763 Traffic Cones in the tiebreaker!
There were thrills, chills, spills, and multiple pronunciations of the same word (who the heck says GIF like jyfe???)
Congrats to Pasadena Peeps (pictured), Purple Monkey Dishwasher (pictured), and Da Bears (pictured) on their first, second and third placings respectively!
I'd also like to thank my girlfriend Tori for being there to support me emotionally!
Thank you all for a lovely night of trivia, I had a ball!

Between the Canadian Drinking round, the contractually obligated Game of Thrones reference, and the general japes, a good time was had by all!
Congrats to Team Sonic for winning the drinking round which came as down to the wire as it possibly could have. And congrats to Da Bears (Pictured with Bob's Burgers in the background) for taking home the gold! As well as Hot Crotches and Pasadena Peeps (Pictured together) for taking the silver and bronze!
