Beauteous Pints!
Did you know that beverages taste more delicious when consumed out of an object you won? It’s true! And tomorrow night, your team has a chance to win a whole set of ShanRock’s Triviology pint glasses, only at Beauty Bar:
Sadly, this will be our final night making the trivia at this venue, so this will be your last chance to make your mark here! And don’t despair, John Gordon fans – he will continue on as trivia jockey at Kenton Club. He had a blast with the crowd there last Thursday, and wants you to come play with him!
Here’s the lastest on the Clash of the Trivia Titans (which must be fast approaching since the 6th anniversary of Triviology was last Wednesday!) . . . although absolutely everyone is welcome to participate in the game, it is the teams who won 18 times or more in 2010 that will qualify to officially participate in the Titan Invitational portion of the evening. Check out the details here, and feel free to call or Email me with any questions. If you haven’t been keeping a tally of your wins, fear not – I have! All the champions for the “trivia season” (the whole year since the last Clash of the Trivia Titans) are listed in my Hall of Fame. If you think you’re close, it is a good idea to contact me, and make sure that I have the same win tally as you do. If you want more wins (you can play to qualify right up to the very day before the tournament), I highly recommend playing at either Da’ Hui on Mondays or Cruzroom on Tuesdays – we happen to have lower attendance at these venues right now, so the odds are in your favor!
And here’s something for everybody to think about – you will soon be called upon to vote. Yes, I hand out several engraved trophies for high scores in the trivia competition, but YOU will decided these categories: Best Bartender, Favorite Venue, Favorite Foes, Best Shit-Talkers, and, to a certain degree, The Underdog Award. I will take suggestions for The Underdog Award, but I will bestow it upon the tenacious team who continues playing trivia even though they never seem to win much. I am of course in a unique position to observe the performances of all teams, so I will cast a heavily weighted vote on this one. The rest is up to you, so be thinking about what teams you love to hate, or hate to love, and where you most enjoy gettin’ your quiz on! I actually ordered the trophies today, so your trivia jockeys should be bringing them around and showing them off at venues by next week. Take a peak at some of the trophies & champion scarves from a couple of years ago (I have several more ordered for this year):
The kids have been telling me I need a ShanRock’s Triviology “Like” page on FaceBook . . . so now we’ve got one! I invite you to show me some love by clicking on the infamous “Like” button. Of course, I will still totally be your friend on my profile page, (which will still probably be at least 50% Triviology related!), and there’s always still the ShanRock’s Triviology Group, as well.
On a final note, East Burn trivia will go on as normal this Sunday at 6:00, despite the Super Bowl – the show must go on!
