It was certainly one for the books! A ton of people showed for the all-Seinfeld trivia at the Thirsty Lion last night – I think there were about 6 guys there watching the soccer game and the rest of the place was PACKED with quizzers – 113 of them.
Yeah, I said 113 people all playing Pub Quiz! It was nuts, and I didn’t even print enough answer sheets for the 25 teams we had! Printing more (thanks to the Thirsty Lion!) got everyone playing, though at a delayed start. We ended up cutting round 2, to my dismay, but what can ya do? You guys overwhelmed me with your sheer need for more Seinfeld trivia, and as far as problems go, I’ll take that any day of the week.
Congratulations to first place finishers Cattle Prodigy! A couple teams scored PERFECTLY on the hour+ video round, and they were one of them. That boggles my mind – well done guys. They also took home their gift certificate from Thirsty Lion for winning last month’s Thirsty Lion Standings. A pretty tidy set of winnings for them. Setting the bar high indeed! I think the other quizzers are up to the challenge though, so bring it on!
Apologies to the winning team – I was so crazy-busy by the end of the night I forgot to snap your picture before you left. You can imagine what they looked like with their almost $200 1st place prize:
We were running a bit behind, so I don’t blame people for vacating ASAP. Thanks to everyone, by the way, for being as adaptive and flexible as you always are. The night was fun despite the little hiccups, and that’s because you guys are good people. I appreciate it, and I’m smiling even now thinking about it.
Congratulations to 2nd place finishers Michelle Obama’s Arms, and a thanks for nabbing another 3 free agent players to help me consolidate teams. Thanks to all the teams that nabbed people they didn’t know, actually! It can be awkward, but you guys were in an adventurous spirit! Shows character, you know.
Third place went to Beige Food Hates the Drake – I think they were way in the back, sorry about the sound issues.
Huge props to the Thirsty Lion and the live band for working with us on the scheduling, and thanks again to everyone who showed. I’ll see you guys at the Pub Quiz Tournament on Sept. 18th, so save the date!
