April 19, 2012  Tommy's Pizza

Tonight our team is Steve, Billy and myself.  We decided to help raise some awareness for the newest trivia location in Huntsville.  This is cool being close to home for me :)  We arrived early to find the good seats.  We found the sun was a factor in where we wanted to sit for the evening.  The Pizza was amazingly good and there were 5 teams present to play.  This is pretty good for starting up and I'm sure next week there will be more teams.  OK, on to the game!

Round 1 we started off with the State Capital of North Dakota, having spent a week there with the Army National Guard for 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It was a blast and that's what made me remember the answer as Bismarck. 

Round 2 was fun with the music question from AC/DC releasing which album in July 1980 that would be the "Back in Black" album!

Round 3 cost us a 4 point answer because we thought we knew the President answer that we clearly did NOT know.  However after having the answer read, we committed it to memory.

Now the half time question was about the 5 top oil producing States. I'll give you the top 3 and you figure out the last 2 on your own.  Alaska, Texas and North Dakota and that leaves?______________ and ________________.

We are now in 1st place with 32 points

Rapid Round 4 and 5 did us NO good at all.  For the first time in the history of Trivia, we all drew a blank, even on answers that should have been common sense.  So in just 2 rounds, we went from first place to not even in the running.  However we did have lots of fun and the pizza was a nice change from our normal meals.  I must say that I'm looking forward to playing here again soon.  We also were able to hang out with Tommy (the owner) for a little bit.  He was telling us all about his plans for the patio garden.  Now that is going to really make me want to be here playing trivia.  Next all we need is beer specials like they have at Las Trojas and it's a date!  I know what you are thinking, she doesn't drink beer...No I don't, however my buddies all do and they swear nothing goes with pizza like a good cold beer.  So we shall see what becomes of it all.

Oh, I should get back to the winners of tonights game.  From the scores just before the final question, we know that only the Dumbledore's Army was certain of their answer.  Either that or they are a go for broke theory team.  Since this is our first time to play any of these teams, we will have to learn how they function in order to use it for the Final Question bidding. 

in 3rd place with 54 points was the Fighting Mongooses

2nd Place with 63 points "Maximum Velocity Brotherhoods"

Tonights 1st place team was, as you already know from this blog, "Bumbledore's Army" with 81 points!  A BIG win for them tonight. 

That brings us to the end of this game and now only one more before I am completely caught up on this blog.  See you all again soon.
