What a long, strange trip it's been! What can I say, I had a blast serving as your trivia host since last summer. I've met so many great people during my time at Pour Tap House and I wish you all nothing but the best. But, all good things must come to an end. So this was my last quiz and we definitely went out with a bang!
Congrats to Cereal Killers on a dominant performance in tonight's quiz. Names R 4 Tombstones had a great performance (as well as some excellent crumb cake, mmmmm!) and every team had their moment to shine. Don't let Spill Monster's 8 points fool you. They crushed the only round they played! Just show up at 7pm next week, guys!
For those of you who didn't make it out last night, I'll still be around and play on occasion. But, Danielle is going to do a great job as my replacement. Please show her the same love and appreciation you've sent my way this past year.
So, for next week, instead of saying "Where's Don?", give Danielle a warm welcome instead 'cause she's gonna be great.

Happy International Day for Democracy, ya'll! Hope you enjoyed it. The UN will go back to its standard support for tyrannical dictators and despots, but for one day at least, democracy was appreciated and respected around the world.
Of course, our celebration of democracy meant that we were free to play some trivia, and play you did. Thanks to everyone who made it out out on our last quiz of the summer. So glad it didn't snow this week. We saw some scary eyes, played some game shows and celebrated the catalog of Metallica. It was a helluva night. Plus, you all know your scotch much better than you know your Jell-O. Wish I could say I was surprised...
Congrats to newbies Man Chest Hair United and I Need A Drink on winning some great prizes and free beers, but we need to really appreciate the glory of our top 2, who battled it out neck and neck. A fateful failed double-up in Round 1 mean that Names R 4 Tombstones fell short of the title, allowing Midas Whales to take the top spot.
Next week we'll celebrate the Independence Day for Bulgaria, so bring your favorite Bulgarian dish, I'll wear a traditional Bulgarian outfit and we'll enjoy Bulgarian Folk Music throughout the night. It's gonna be great.
As an Air Force Brat, I've had the joy/suffering of living in a lot of places growing up and throughout my life. Different countries, different regions, different states. Everywhere I've lived, local residents always comment about how the weather changes every 15 minutes. In only one place has this actually been true; welcome to Colorado! We had a temperature drop of over 50 degrees, going from 90 on Monday to a "wintry mix" as a drove to Pour Tap House for tonight's quiz. Funniest thing is that I wasn't that surprised and neither were the folks inside happily singing along to Christmas carols playing on the jukebox. That's the spirit, guys!
We certainly got a lesson in perseverance tonight. The nice thing about our quiz format is that when you find a round that fits your wheelhouse, you can score big. And boy was that true. After four rounds of competition (and a not-so-accurate guess of Oliver North), they sat at a mere 13 points at the bottom of the standings. Hope was all but lost. Round 5 looked promising as they put up 6 great points.
Then, their moment of glory as, apparently, they are avid war-mongers who thrive of the thirst of battle and dream of eternal glory in Valhalla....basically, Klingons. They blitzkrieged through the round about battles faster than Stormin' Norman took Iraq. 20 points later, and they were poised for victory. And, since War is Hell, the final round was right up their alley. Kudos to Multiple Scorgasms on their victory, and a shout out to Midas Whales, whose winning streak was (briefly?) stopped. J & J had a great first-time showing and I expect big things to come!
As for next week: Never Give Up, Never Surrender!
