"I'm coming out. I want the The Elm to know. This is the best quiz show!" Clearly, everyone was singing that diddy on the way to the bar.
HOLY PUB QUIZ BATMAN!! Fourteen teams showed up last night at The Elm. FOUR-TEEN! Did you hear me???? FOOURRRTEEENNNN!!!! My mind was blown! There was A LOT of love in the room last night, and I was super stoked about the turn-out! I saw a lot of familiar faces, as well as newbies! The most adorable young man was there, who was the most curtious player to date. Your parents taught you well son. "Always be polite to the quiz master, and ALWAYS compete for the free beer bonus questions...no matter how old you are!"
I'd say the toughest round of the night was definitley the Muhammeds & Alis round. That round had the lowest scores, although I did appreciate one team who chose to write down "Megan is Pretty", for a marjority of their answers. Thanks guys, I'm still blushing. Speaking of blushing, Team: It's A Goose answered the email question correctly, and walked away with "Gay Accent Breath Spray." You'd think they would have been embarrassed, but luckily they are just as cool as I had suspected. They held that prize up loud and proud! I'm proud to say, that the 80's pop station is still a huge hit, and the ENTIRE BAR got really amped when the song "Turn Around" came on! The instant singing was quite amusing to say the very least.
Team: "Mr. Bastard", went in for a major game upset last night. They "Turned Around", and won when nobody was looking. This team was definitely proof that using your joker strategically, can help immensely. Well done "Mr. Bastard!" Well...DONE! Last night was a HUGE success, and I am still grinning from ear to ear about the turn out! You all are FUCKING AMAZING!!!! A big shout out goes to Erin, Dave, and Maggie who worked their asses off last night, and gave great service as always! I love you guys!
Check us out at The Elm next week for more drinkng, debauchery, and damn good times!

Things got a little crazy last night at The Elm! The competition was high, as beers and brainiacs participated in the Tuesday night quiz. My 80's Pop Pandora Station, still continues to be a crowd pleaser, although the audio rounds were a bit of a challenge.
Much to my surprise, no one broke the rule when the "Reading Rainbow" question was played in Round 7. It's hard NOT to sing along to that tune. Mostly everyone did a good job on the Karaoke questions in round two, although figuring out Garth Brook's famous song was a little tough on some teams.
The most exciting part of the night was determining the overall First Place Winner, as there was a serious tie between the "Cobras", and "Ok Just One More." We had to go into a sudden death round which was quite exciting! "Ok Just One More" came out on top, answering the most questions right, and gave out HUGE cheers of joy over their win. Well done ladies!
Speaking of ladies, everyone seemed to be a bit shocked over the answer for the book title involving two identical twins who went to high school together. Even though the answer was "Sweet Valley High", I thought writing down "The Babysitter's Club" definitey deserved an honorable and nostalgic mention.
It was a definite battle of the brains last night, but luckily no one got hurt...physically that is. Once again, it was a blast, and I look forward to seeing all my new and old geeks next week at The Elm!

Twas another great night of Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz at The Elm! The bar was flowing with beer, basketball, and another bad ass quiz mastered by yours truly! My 80's pop Pandora station has been a hit the past two weeks, as I've seen lots of head bobbing and chair dancing in between questions.
Speaking of dancing, we had another AMAZING dance-off last night the break the tie for our third place winners. A mean rug was cut last night by "The Renegades." They certaintly made a good choice as to who would represent them in the dance off. Homeboy was not scared to bust out the robot, some booty shakin', and even the running man to earn his win. It was quite entertaining to say the least. "Alcoholics Go To Meetings..Drinkers Go To Trivia" gave it a good college try though. I think they were a little intimidated by the robot dance move. It was a pretty intense, so I can't blame them.
Round 7 was another tough one, and I heard more evil groans than evil cheers! Some teams were so baffled by this audio round, that they simply wrote "FAIL" at the bottom of their paper. Hey, we can't be geniuses in EVERY category...or can we? Things that make you go...hmmmmm! There were other smart ass answers of the night, that are DEFINITELY worth mentioning. Someone wrote down "JESUS" as being the name of Pee-Wee Herman's genie, and someone else wrote down "Kool-Aid" as being one of the mash-up artists in round two.
Thanks for the sarcasm guys! It's shit like that, that makes me love this job even more each week. I'm so glad everyone has such a great sense of humor, and remembers that the most important rule of quiz, is to simply HAVE FUN!
I certainly "HAD FUN" trying to pronounce some foreign language words in round eight. Maybe it was my sexy voice, or just my overall awesomeness that provoked people to have me repeat this question...SEVERAL TIMES!!! Thanks guys, I still love all of you!
As usual, we all had a blast. I'm stoked for next week, and the new entertainment everyone shall bring! Shout outs go to "The Cobras" for striking 1st Place, and the ever so sweet team "Morally Bankrupt" for taking 2nd Place!
