Pursuit of Trivia

Went last night to a local trivia "event." Said event consists of filling a decent bar with lots of people and then asking them (in teams) questions. I went about 4 weeks ago. It was appaling. The questions were really annoying, and some of them I think were just wrong (what is the first skyscraper in NYC---flatiron....come now.) Tonight I was doing better, and our team was in good form. Fattiest fruit-- Avocado, Wood used to make baseball bats Ash, Real name for Northern Lights Aurora Boreallis. And so on. What I didn't know and maybe smart blog readers will....what was George Lucas' first film (presumably first film he made, not the first film he watched). I put American Graffiti, not so. THX 1138. I thought that was VCR head cleaning solution, apparently it's not. Oh well. So $3 for 32oz of beer, and free trivia, and adequate conversation...not a bad evening.


*The ding noise is misleading, because the questions are asked and then you write your answer after conferring with your teamates...but the ding reminds me of In The Know)
