Wow, another year of trivia is over. It is sad, but happy. There is nothing like spending ours finding answers to questions that no one in their right mind should now. But, now one must wait 365 day to do it all again. The other day I was looking back and realized that I have done trivia weekend for 8 years now. That is crazy. Hopefully next year, my ninth, I will be able to get a group of people together that can invest their entire weekend so that we don't end up in the third to last place.
You can see that our headquarters is just like last year. It has been so sad these last two years because my setup for trivia weekend is just like I had dreamed it could be back in high school and I couldn't get anybody to come. I should nobody came.

Tim was there on Friday and Saturday night. He was a real Trivia Teamster. Be sure to ask him about his "One night in Bangkok."
The rest of the Friday crew is pictured here. John forged ahead during hours 1 and 2 when I was unavailable. He did pretty well considering it was he first Trivia Weekend experience. Pam stopped by for a bit too and helped.

Karli even stopped buy to harass the phone bank workers a bit!

Saturday night Tim, Justine, Clint, and Brain helped to hold down the fort. We were doing pretty well and slowly making our way back into 76th place! Saturday evening we were averaging right around 150 points around. If I had more people to play all weekend we would have been right up there in the thick of things.

Hopefully next year things will be better. I will be in grad school and there should be plenty of nerds willing to participate then!

I just found out that you had a team here in Maryland! I moved here last year from MN, I went to SCSU many years ago, but enjoyed doing the trivia when I did. (I was never able to do many many hours in a row, however.)
Now that I know this, next year, I'll look you guys up hopefully ahead of time and not after it's ended and maybe my husband and I will join you if that is ok.

This design is incredible! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog
(well, almost...HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had to
say, and more than that, how you presented it.

Too cool!
