Auxiliary-not-Goat-mid-month-Chi-trivia-meetup 2: Electric Boogaloo!
Since the Goat happens kind of late in the month and a two-weeks-post-Goat date would put this right in the middle of holiday madness, I'm setting it for just one week post-Goat. Will change if people think the 22nd would work.
Also, a couple people mentioned that they liked the idea of a regular Pequods meetup. What say you?

Oh gosh, now I'm reading that to the tune of the part from The Barber of Seville. Figaro, yo.

Trivia! Son qua.
Ehi, trivia! Son qua.
Trivia qua, trivia la, trivia qua, trivia la,

Pronto prontissimo son come il fumine:

See, I keep reading it to the Mexican Hat Dance, specifically the rendition from The Animaniacs bit. Some see Rossini, I see WB cartoons.

It's not like our first referent for the Rossini opera isn't the Bugs Bunny bit where he feuds with the opera singer.

I have to check when I get to work tomorrow, but this may be the night of my company holiday party. If it's not, The Boyfriend and I will be there.

Come on, kids! One person does not a trivia team make. Do you really expect me to forget the name of the first black dude in space all by myself?

Just one month more, and I'll be able to attend these.

Nope. I just have a class on Thursdays from 6 to 10. I'll be done with it after the 15th.

Well, I do really like trivia...maybe I'll actually attend a meetup again.

December is just impossible. It's only the 7th and I've already missed three events from being either double-booked or accidentally asleep at 8:30pm.

It's official - the 15th is my company holiday party. Boo.
If it turns out that rescheduling this month's trivia is best, The Boyfriend and I are available the 22nd. We could also pick another venue for a different night of the week.

Wanna try another Pequods meetup for that week? I just called them and the guy who knows if we can do a split party of unlimited beer and not-unlimited beer is out until tomorrow, but it seemed like it would be OK.

Does the 20th work for Pequod's for anyone (else)?

I'd be a probably for the 20th at Pequod's. In theory, that's the day after my steroid shot and I should be 100%.

See, I work from home on Wednesdays, which makes Tuesday nights attractive for going out. Also, that prior weekend, I'm conducting an international humanitarian law workshop, so I'm not available--really--immediately prior to that. But we've got a thread open for Pequod's.
Also, yg44, sorry you're having such woes. Hope the Boy is treating you right.

8ish, do you want me to precede you there so you don't get spooked again? :P

Nah, I'll show up around 8ish. haha

Did it really? I'm sad that I missed it, but had a fun time at the Christmas party last night.

Things were going great until the second act, when our answers turned into a decreasingly coherent series of your mom jokes.
Could have used an assist. :) Maybe next time.

Probably didn't help that I was also decreasingly coherent.
