Trivia Night 2/14

As a result of your votes (67% said to go to Trivia Night), I chose to hang out with my girlfriend and then go to trivia (no pictures because I forgot to bring the camera). However, only 2 other people showed up, Jaimie and her brother Trevor. Trevor is held in high regard with the members of our trivia team and was a welcome addition last night. Here's a breakdown on the team members and why they didn't show up: Garth was a no-call no-show (which is standard for when he is with his girlfriend), although he's only been to one trivia night so I guess he's not really a team member; Mora gave 2 hours notice that she was stressing over her upcoming GRE test and needed to study (FYI- trivia is studying); Moto had to work (which he told us last week).

The night started off with some tough questions about drug/alcohol use in the US. There were quite a few Saturday Night Live questions which Moto claims to be an expert on (if he were there, we probably would have gotten all the SNL questions). The "All Things Geek" category was tougher than I thought it would be. There was also a "60's History" category which was tough. All in all, it was a good night to miss because most of the questions we missed wouldn't have been known by any of the missing team members.

Rankings:

1) Me - I thought I did well overall in the movies, geek and hodge podge categories (although I directly cost us at least 2 answers).
2) Trevor - Seemed to have a better working knowledge of general history than Jaimie and I. Also, he is quite good at using logic to make an educated guess on tough questions.
3) Jaimie - Actually knew that a particular picture was from a commercial for the candy "Bonkers."
4) Moto - Although not present, I felt strangely knowledgeable about SNL (SH club?).
NR) Mora - Needs to come up huge next week on the GRE and Trivia Night, both of which she will be alone on absent a heartfelt post on this website.

Other memorable moments:
- Adopting a couple sitting next to us who was in their early 40's and answering at least 5 questions because of them.

- My cell phone falling between the seats we were sitting in (a long cushioned, bench style seat where 8-10 people can sit on and cannot be reached under) and not being able to retrieve it until trivia night was over and nobody was sitting on it.
