Wednesday night was probably our busiest pub quiz to date. There's a lot to recap, but that's not why I've taken so long to post this. The reason is lasagna.

On Wednesday night I found lasagna. I didn't order lasagna. Nobody I asked remembered ordering lasagna. But, lasagna appeared on the table. Nobody knows how it got there or why. I ate the lasagna. Don't ask me why I ate it. If it was your lasagna, then I suppose you are now forever in my debt. You're welcome. If I could change one thing in my life, it would be my decision to eat found lasagna. That lasagna tried to do me in. Well, it's 48 hours later, and I think I've won the fight and I'm back in the world of the living. I've probably had enough recapitulation of late, but for you I'll endure a little more.

Wednesday night was World Book Night, so we at the Indian Road Café Pub Quiz had a World Book Night Night.

I was joined by The Human Mathematician and J McG (aka Ian and Joey) in the annual tradition of giving away books on April 23rd (Shakespeare's birthday). More accurately, Ian and Joey included me in the tradition, and I'm thankful that they encouraged me to get involved. The books we gave away were Wild, This Boy's Life, and Catch 22. Joey also created bookish prize packs for each round that included individually selected books grouped by theme. It was far more thoughtful of her than your regular quizmasters would have been, and better than you guys deserve I think. But, there it is. You guys ended up with a lot of books.

But that wasn't all! You also got a lot of beer. Rigel from Long Trail was kind enough to drive all the way to Inwood and bring us a seemingly endless supply of Long Trail prizes. We had tons of beer, coasters, koozies, pint glasses, and even spruce tree seeds.

In the way of trivia, we had some literary-inspired rounds. Obviously, we had Wild, Catch 22, and This Boy's Life rounds, and there were also Literary Mash-ups, Literary Geography, and a surprisingly difficult Common Bond on "books". At the end of the night we had University of Inwood Spring Break Rehydration Center and Duke Silver and the Bathtub Full of Jazz tied for first, with Duke Silver winning the tie-breaker. Scores are looking pretty tight for the month, so be sure to show up next week for the exciting conclusion to April.

Now, I'll leave you with the World Book Night song.

(Also, if you've never heard of OG Readmore, you should look that up as well.)
