Hi everyone! Last night was fantastic! There were 30 teams, and a few of our "new regulars". They are new because I am not yet able to recognize them until the entire squad is together. So, if you are a "new regular", don't be offended if I don't recognize you at the grocery store. Unless you are there with your entire team, and preferably wearing the same clothes I last saw you in.
So we were getting started, and I was really projecting so you guys could hear me as you finished up your conversations and switched gears for question-time. All of a sudden, I heard my voice get super-loud. I look over and see Mr. Tramp standing with his fancy volume remote in the middle of the bar. He has a look of accomplishment, gives a small nod, and walks away. It was awesome. I actually had to make an effort not to talk too loud. After losing my voice last week, it was a real treat to be able to talk normally. I guess I'm just used to yelling on the mic.
I loved the quiz material we had last night! We started off with Geographic Food, and followed up with some Karaoke Hits, which most of you Jokered. We moved on to discuss The 90's, and that made us feel really old. Our video round went off well, and we finished up right on time.
Thank you for coming out to quiz with us last night. It's our favorite quiz of the week. You guys are the best. xoxo, Evelyn & Chelsea

First of all, I want to thank you guys for helping me out with my voice. After getting allergy injections for 3 years, I finally stopped and this is the first instance of allergies I've had. It also happens to be the first of 5 quizzes I'm hosting back-to-back (meaning, every day for 5 days). So when I told you all this, you really got quiet every time I started speaking, and today I still have a voice!
So, thanks for that!
With 35 teams, we set a new record for teams at Mister Tramps! We had a great time with all of you! We saw a lot of new faces, and a ton of regular teams. Also, Viva Zapata is back and brought us some fancy pens from his big trip! He also brought us T-shirts from Ireland, so we are really honored that he thinks of us while he travels.
We had a kind of rough quiz, with no perfect scores on our Band Logos visual round, and your scores were lacking for our James, Bonds, and That One Tuxedo Model. And Playing Sick didn't do you any favors either. Turns out you did pretty well on our Jumping audio round, and you performed better than expected for our Random Knowledge round.
So, we got some questions last night about the structure of Geeks Who Drink. One team thought that Chelsea and I are the only Quizmasters in Austin. That is far from correct! We have a full staff of QMs in the Austin area, and we encourage you to shop around and find the quiz that fits your style! Also, this allows the quiz to continue when Chelsea and I can't make it - which only happens a few times a year. We sure hope you pick our quiz at Tramps over all the others, but there's no hard feelings if you prefer a different style of quizzin'.
And finally, thanks again for being such a great crowd every week. We couldn't do it without you, and you guys are just the best around. Also, please tell us when you spot a team with over 6 players; you can write us a note on your answer sheet if that makes you feel like less of a snitch.
See you next week! xoxo, Evelyn & Chelsea

Last night was so easy for us. You guys were super quiet during questions, the soccer fans played quiz along with us, and we ended right on time. On top of all that, the open mic folks stayed outside until we finished, so everything was really smooth.
The best part of last night (for me) was Chelsea yelling "TOUCHDOWN!" every time the soccer fans cheered. She's so funny.
The video round was particularly awesome last night, and the service was unbeatable. Service is always above par at Mister Tramps, but last night it seemed like there were more servers, and they were all anxious to help.
You guys are the best, and we thank you very much for coming out to quiz with us every week. We enjoy all of you quite a bit.
Sorry for the short blog - I'm off to get contacts for the first time! Next time you see me I won't be wearing glasses (maybe). I'm pretty nervous about it. xoxo, Evelyn & Chelsea
