This could be the last time we meet at the
Maple Leaf Pub for
Geeks Who Drink trivia. (If Doomsday doesn't come, we'll be back after New Year's.) You know the drill: Steak at 7, trivia at 8. Sorry for the late notice. ALSO! Keep 5 p.m., Saturday, January 12 open for the Quonsar get-together, also at the Maple Leaf, where we'll be spending our winnings! (Even more incentive to come down tonight and help spur us on to victory!)

Previously in trivia: Can it have been a month since Benevolent Dick-Taters and Occupy Sesame Street! graced the doorway of the
Maple Leaf Pub? Yes, we had enough players to make two teams! Come help us grab the best seat! Steak and potatoes are served at 7, and trivia is served at 8.

I have long been jealous of cities where MeFites regularly get together to kick ass at trivia. But hey, maybe we could do the same! So let's do it: a Denver/Boulder MeFi Geeks Who Drink trivia meetup at 8:00 pm, Monday, November 12, at the
British Bulldog. The Bulldog was selected for its excellent proximity to public transportation.

Previously on Geeks Who Drink trivia: We came in a close fourth place in a
Maple Leaf Pub made more raucous by a birthday party (the genesis of our team name, We Photobombed Your Birthday).
Why not join us this week? We have some spoils of previous victories to share. Trivia is at 8, yummy yummy steaks are served at 7.

If it's Wednesday it must be Geeks Who Drink at the Kelvin Arms. Come on down and join us in the comfy vault! Meet at 7:30, game at 8.
From Scott: "The best team theme name for next week will be "its the thought that counts." April 3 is my 30th Birthday. Tell me in your team name next week what you want to give me, or what you think I deserve."
Hmm.

Last time we (Davy Jones' Locker) wound up in solo possession of second place, netting us a $15 bar tab for this week. The previous excursion we (In the Vault, Bob) wound up winning second in a tiebreak. Can we make it a third straight trip to medal territory? Join us at the Kelvin Arms and see! (MexicanYenta's suggested team name: Grand Forks Olive Garden.) Meet at 7:30, trivia at 8.
Edit: Postponed for a week due to Real Life.

Previously: Last time, we won the second-place tiebreaker in sudden death. And quizmaster Scott is buying us a round this time for the win for best team name.
And so Dr. Metafilter finds himself leaping from trivia night to trivia night, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.
..Oh, wait,
what? It's just Leap Day, not Quantum Leap Day? Guess we'll have to put the DVDs down and go out for trivia at the Kelvin Arms.

We were thisclose to a second-place finish
last time we met for Geeks who Drink trivia at the
Kelvin Arms. The Best Team Name theme will be that old Dating Game staple: Where is the strangest/best/worst place to “make whoopee?” We'll be in the vault at 7:30 for trivia at 8.

What better way to celebrate the day before Valentine's Day than by taking that special someone to
Geeks Who Drink trivia, Monday night at
Tommy Doyle's. Alternatively, drown your sorrows with the $80 in gift certificates we have amassed.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and Polish Oompa cover bands--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And Gordon Ramsay's Sex Dwarves--
And whether pigs have wings."

It's trivia night at the Maple Leaf; it's also a heavy hockey night with 10 games scheduled. Our schedules dictate that Thursday is going to be our night for trivia (at least this week; we can discuss other options). Come join us and help us outnumber the hockey heads!
