Weekly Recap for 08/21/2013

The recap is back, and you know it could never be wack.* We've had an amazing August so far. Lots of questions, lots of teams, and lots of prizes. Last night was sponsored by Ballast Point, who brought us loads of beer and other goodies.***

Here's our very own OJ the Imposter fabulously modeling some of the fabulous prizes.

OJ Rockin' the Merch

We had a very intellectual night last night, with rounds on bananas, fast food, commercial voice overs, mascots, Saturdays, and a Common Bond on Top Gun. It was a night of raucus fun, if indeed there ever was one. Thanks guys for being such a great crowd. Your cheering has not gone unnoticed. We got mentioned on Facebook last night thanks to you guys.

We live upstairs from IRC and right now I can hear what sounds like trivia night in full swing. The announcer is on the mic and the crowd is cheering, and it feels so cozy to have this great place for our community to gather. I (heart) IRC. So glad you're right downstairs.

Cool! Of course, it's not the nightly news, but what are you gonna do?**** Of course, not everyone enjoys you guys and your silly quiz. This review recently came up on Yelp about the Indian Road Café.

Like many others, I've tried so hard to like this place. It's right down the street from my apartment, right next to Inwood Hill Park, and has enormous potential to serve the Park Terrace section of Inwood. They really try to be the quirky place you see on sitcoms, and it's up for debate whether or not they succeed. I once went on trivia night. One of the hosts had a hipster mustache and thought he was terribly clever for offering mustache wax as one of the prizes. (Does anyone still think the ironic mustache thing is funny?)

Ok, I guess that one was more about me, than about you. Entirely about me, in fact. Actually, his only complaint about the quiz was my facial hair. Not bad, I suppose. Pretty flattering, actually - especially when you consider that the review was written a couple days ago, and it was almost 2 years ago that I gave away mustache wax as a prize. I'd say we definitely got in his head. And again, by we, I mean me.

Now, enough about me. You guys all have incredibly close scores this month. I can't wait to see who pulls ahead for the monthly prize next week. Also, I can't wait to see if our beloved Quizmasters' Cup shows up to be awarded.
