First up, we had a visit from Cameron Whitten, who may be the coolest public official candidate ever!  According to Pub Quizzer Brian, Cameron is always out and about in Portland, talking with people about their concerns.  He showed up last night at the venue wearing his own sign, and I had to get Katie [...]

I’ve had the pasta at Schmizza only once before – mostly because I am drawn to the vast array of delicious pizza they have on display.  But I figured I’d try something new, and was rewarded with a flavorful plate of pasta and delicious bread.  I love food, so good. Congratulations to The Wrong Kind [...]

[...]

Eh, not bad.  A little insulting toward bunnies.  I like this one: “You can’t be a non-conformist if you don’t drink coffee.”  *sip* Congratulations to team Beardymen for their first place Schmizza win last night: NO MINORS!  =) They were behind in round one, gained fast in round two, and really scored big on the [...]

Good luck to you guys! Last night at Schmizza we had several teams notorious for being on top of the scores who placed near the bottom of the charts!  Trek week is no joke – serious bizniz this week.  Thursday’s quiz is going to be crazy!
