Brains Drained!
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010They came, they drank, they quizzed . . . all who rode the 2010 BarFly Brain Drain Trivia Bus are champions!! Especially this late night crew pictured below . . . after a sold out bus, wherein every single team lasted until the last quiz bar, these are the hearty few that survived that final late night crossing of the river to a late night dance party at Matador:
These are some of the things I love about this picture: #1) We’ll start with the obvious – Viking helmets!; #2) the quiz is over, yet the shit-talking clearly persists; #3) the bad kids are still sitting in the back, but yelling to communicate with us nerds at the front; #4) not one, but at least two, and possibly three people are laughing so hard that they are crying! We’ll do it all over again next year! Honorable mention goes to Creme De La Merde, who hung on tight throughout a grueling tiebreaker on the sidewalk of Burnside (ain’t they cute?) . . .
. . . yet there can only be one: our 2010 BarFly Bus victors are Linda Is A Whore!
Sorry to end on a sad note, but tonight is the final night of Triviology at Jade Lounge. Come on out and play with me at 7:00 – claim the final Jade prize!
