Last night Geeks Who Drink :: Caveau Wine Bar had the distinct pleasure of hosting Quiz For A Cause for the Refugee & Asylee Program of Lutheran Family Services - Rocky Mountains. Kristin from LFS was on hand to give us all some information about this program, as well as do a door prize drawing for two Comedy Works tickets and give the winning team $50 in cold, hard cash.
This, in addition to our usual awesomeness, led to 11 teams participating in our quiz last night, and nary an empty seat left in the place. HOT DAMN. Some moments from last night:
1) After a stellar R2, Benitez and the Jets was quick to remind me that every time they've quizzed at Caveau with me as the Quiz Mistress they've gotten a perfect score. So then *I* was quick to remind them that this was because I am the most rad. I think they agreed.
2) WTF BBQ came soclose to knocking Benitez and the Jets out of first place in our quiz-off for first place at the end of the night, but apparently not everyone is as familiar with Britney Spears' birth place as I am. AND I'M NOT ASHAMED, Y'ALL.
3) At the end of the night, prizes having been distributed, Lutheran Family Services walked away with about $200 to go toward their Refugee & Asylee Programs. I'd say that's pretty fantastic for two hours in our little venue!
Last night was super fun, wasn't it? I hope the rest of the summer continues like this. And by this, I mean having cupcakes at Monday night quiz (*ahem* Sabrina).
Don't forget that June 20th is World Refugee Day, and be sure to check out other ways you can support the great things that Lutheran Family Services is doing!

So, there's this GWD Rumble in the Pub thing happening right now. And this resulted in several new (to Caveau) teams making their way to our quiz last night. Which just showed the regular quizzers that IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG.
I love it. Sometimes some people need to be reminded that there are other smart people in Denver. Few and far between, but they're there.
Some moments:
1) There was a gentleman in 2 Padres & The Altar Boys who chose to wear clothes last night that made him reminiscent of a Dreamsicle. Personally, I found this to be amazing. If you're wondering who it was, just look for the dude with a nip slip in the pictures to your left.
2) Benitez And The Jets blew me away last night with a PERFECT R2. Well done, team. I was also blown away by the fact that there were two 21-year-olds on their team that weren't total assholes. Again, WELL DONE.
3) The fact that there were SIX teams last night with scores >= 80 points is something of a miracle. Whatever y'all are doing, KEEP DOING IT. My guess is that it involves cupcakes, which is totally ok.
So that's it for this week. My guess is that we'll be seeing some more of these Rumble in the Pub teams in the future, so y'all better STUDY UP. I'm just saying.

Holy shit, y'all. IT'S JUNE.
I'm going to let you think about the implications of that for a minute.
...
All done? Cool. Well, we started the month off with a bang last night - or if we're just looking at R8 scores, more of a resounding THUD. But, hey. At least it was pretty much everyone sucking together.
Some of the more memorable moments from last night:
1) It's glaringly obvious that just about every quizzer at Caveau thinks that when a clip is played of Morgan Freeman narrating ANYTHING, it must be Shawshank Redemption. Because, you know, Se7en and Shawshank are really a lot alike.
2) Our winners last night were Preston and Jason, aka Fear Boner. I think they just like to swoop in every once in awhile and remind folks at Caveau that their brains are bigger than ours. WE GET IT, Y'ALL. That said, hopefully they'll end up representing our little venue well at RUMBLE IN THE PUB in a couple of months.
3) Judging by R8, Q8 last night, I'd say most of us at the quiz are BuzzFeed perusers over Reddit. Because, wow. The lack of points on that question was kind of astounding. I'm pretty sure I heard the crowd collectively utter a four-letter-word as I read that question aloud. Obviously those are the most fun for me, because MAKING QUIZZERS SUFFER. Muahahaha.
Welp, that's it for now. I have it on good authority that cupcakes will be back in action next week at Caveau (no, that's not a gay striptease), so there's yet ANOTHER reason for you to show up next week. I'm just saying.
