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.

"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."

I'm coming into town for two weeks JUST after the big planned meetup, but I hear that this is the first meetup you guys have had in a while and might be amenable to having another. It will no longer be at Nellie's as we expect it to not have trivia and be crowded anyhow. It will now be at
the Argonaut on the H street corridor at the same time.

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!

It'll be another packed house at the
Maple Leaf Pub as Team MeFi takes on all
trivia challengers, and tackles the steak and baked potato dinner and awesome cheese-stuffed jalapeños.
Trivia's at 8, but the house has been so stuffed lately, we need to start arriving earlier to stake out a table, so I've set the start time for 7. Be there or be a regular quadrilateral!

Steak and
Geeks Who Drink pub trivia. What could be better? I know! Our score could be better! Last time's 7th place finish (out of 15 teams) was like the episode of
Cheers when Cliff went on
Jeopardy! and found categories that were custom-made for him... only exactly the opposite. Still, we'll pick ourselves up and dust off and try again! Don't forget to come early to stake out a good table and enjoy yummy yummy steak!

Hey guys! It's time again for Boston/Cambridge area
Geeks Who Drink pub trivia. We must continue our trivia dominance over the rest of New England nerdery.
We will of course be at Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Square again, but your guess is as good as mine as to which floor. Maybe we'll be on the roof. Who knows--it's all part of the adventure. At least one of us will be wearing a MeFi t-shirt.
