2009 Ends With a Three-Way TIE!!!
What a night, what a game, what a way to end out the year. Last night at the Big Time Brewing Company things seemed a little slow, it was 6:45pm and not one team has signed up. But like an army walking out of the mist, we found ourselves four equally matched teams all dying [...]
I Miss Those Summer Nights
John Travolta may believe in alien souls inhabiting our bodies, but he was right about those summer nights. It’s about this time of year I wish we were in the southern hemisphere. Last night’s competition was a turbulent one with the standings changing after every round. Team ‘Happy New Beers’ lead for the entire night [...]

It was a nice day, the sun was out, but due to the heavy snows the night before, the road out to Hood River (via I-84) from Portland really S-U-C-K-E-D. It just so happened I had to be on Mt. Hood around 2pm that day. After 3 hours in the car, and after watching at [...]
Heeeeere’s Polly!
Did they ever do a Broadway production of The Shining? I know Ol’ Stevey boys first book Carrie was made into a musical production. Just imagine that scene with the pigs blood while Carrie busts into song…But WHAT song? Hmm. That might take some research. My triumphant return to Pub Quiz was met with a [...]
Prospero Ano y Felicidad!
Crazy good singing last night in Hillsboro! Very fun quiz at the Parkway Station Pub. Helluva note to end the year on there! When I get back on Thursday, it’ll be 2010! Arthur C. Clarke’s classic might be all rented at the video store for once! A team from the Voleur came tonight, calling themselves [...]
