Are there plans for a trivia meetup between June 9 and June 17? I'm going to be back in NH with my trivia-obsessed boyfriend.

To paraphrase the movie Way of the Gun, this isn't really a "plans" kind of operation. But I see no reason we couldn't do so.

That'd be awesome, if the Cambridge/Boston contingent is up for it. I'll propose one in bit. Sorry to co-opt this threat!

I mean thread!

It'll likely be a Monday or Tuesday, ChuraChura, depending on our evaluation of the Hong Kong this week. I think Wednesdays in Kendall have been safely ruled out due to terrible service.

Most likely I will have to sit this one out, or I will play the first few rounds before I head out. Good luck!

So there are going to be scorpion bowl races in between rounds, right?

DM and I are here, in the corner facing the door. It's in the lounge on the 2nd floor.

Got out of work a bit later than planned --- okay if I still come?

Yay! Taters reign supreme! Now we have two superfluous gift certificates!

Also, nice to meet you DMD. Hope you enjoyed trivia!

When I read this sentence, I pictured Zippy the Pinhead shouting it. I hope that's OK. How was the MC? Were the scorpion bowls good? Did the MSG help or hinder your performance?

I'm not really sure how I feel about that.

The MC, and the scorpion bowls were both excellent (though the scorpion bowl came with a little plastic camel, in addition to the obligatory plastic monkey. I am still puzzled by that).

Since we won, I have to assume that MSG = performance enhancer. Yay chemicals!

Recap. I agree that the MC and cocktails were very good, but the venue was not ideal, with half the team relegated to little cube-chairs with no backs. I imagine we'll return to our usual haunt for the time being, but it was nice to get out a little.

TD's has a better beer selection too.
