Standing Room Only! (well, nearly)

That's right, if you didn't get down to the Barney's Basement early, trivia geeks were battling wits just to score a spot to sit and play.

Banana's Foster jumped to an early lead with the only double in Round 1, and thanks to their 10 point guess in Gambler's Corner (aka Guess Who), they put the rest of their competition in the rear-view mirror after round 4 to secure 1st Place and the $100 prize. To add insult to injury, they crushed the hopes of other teams when they also won the free pitcher of beer. Talk about greed!

 

They Spilled Beer on the Answer Sheet ripped their team name straight from reality by handing me soggy answer sheets in nearly ever round, and also managed to take the 2nd Place prize of $50!

 

Pasadena Peeps returned to the winners circle again to take 3rd place and the $25 prize with 8o points, a score that is usually good enough for 1st on any other night (apparently there were too many geniuses in the room this Thursday).

 

Until next Thursday at 8pm,

Quizmaster Andy

Big Bouncing Balls ... and Trivia!!!

Just as Kevin Durant & the Warriors were putting on a basketball clinic for the Cavaliers, We'll Always Have Paris was schooling their competition and running away with 1st place and the $100 prize! Intravenus de Milo got a slow start to the evening with a ZERO in round 1, but their steady improvement throughout the quiz was enough to earn 2nd place and a $50 prize. Eat Knowledge also stumbled out of the gate, but temporarily moved into 1st place with a key double on the Find the Connection round... unfortunately they didn't have confidence in their knowledge of Wrestling movies in round 6, failing to capitalize on what could have been their 2nd double, ultimately finishing them in 3rd place and a $25 prize... but don't cry for the them Argentina, because they also won the free pitcher of beer!

See everyone next Thursday at 8pm!

Cheers, Andy (did you know I drink 2 beers every Tuesday???)

Back Where We Belong

After a week upstairs it was great to be back in the comforting confines of the Barney's Beanery basement, and more importantly we got our regular bartender Jessica back after a 3 week hiatus!

Of course there was also some fearsome trivia competition happening as well. Five (that's right 5) teams scored a double in round #1 to get the race to the top going quickly. Round 2 proved more difficult, with only P4L able to name all 8 famous wives in the picture round... but their lead was short lived as the rest of the teams started pouring on the knowledge!

In the end Bananas Foster torched the competition and took home the $100 1st prize. It's on Ken! finished in a very strong 2nd to win $50 (thanks to a lack this week of sports questions, their Achilles heel), and Montenegro Please cruised into 3rd place and a $25 prize.

It's on Ken also won the free pitcher of beer, but since they weren't drinking donated the beer to Moded!

See everyone for trivia, fun and beer next Thursday at 8pm!!!

Cheers, Quizmaster Andy!
