I’ve been blogging for weeks about how hot the competition was at the Belmont Inn. And tonight was no different except for one thing — it was HOTTER! Literally, the place was a sweaty mess of Pub Quizzers battling it out for a hefty pot.

Beige Food walked out with the big bounty, fending off TX and Whisky Tango Foxtrot in second and third, respectively. And the No Mouth Monkeys and Silver Snakes walked out with bragging rights, but alas, no cash.

It was also a great night for newbies, with a couple of first-time teams getting into the fray. I hope to see them back again next week, when I hope the place will feel less like a Nirvana video and more like, well, a Pub Quiz. Seriously — if the Belmont doesn’t get the AC pumping, I’m going to have to wear sweatbands.
