    CSF @ UIS Kenya Trip Trivia Night

Here are the teams that got their reservations in: Aidich, Bolletta, Brackenhoff, Briggs, Briggs, Cummins, Egizi, [...]1March 27, 2009

    All full at the FFLC (again)

  • It looks like the only show in Sangamon County this weekend is in Williamsville.  So if you’re looking for something nearby, head north on 55 for 11 miles. You could also head the other direction (and a few more miles) if you want to try one of the 28 events in the St. Louis area this [...]0March 26, 2009

    Trivia this weekend

  • Looking for the Quiz League?  Click here. The disappointing thing about most online trivia quizes is that nothing stops participants from using their magical Googling powers to conjur the answers.  If you remember this site from 2 or 3 years ago, you might recall the old quiz league that featured Google-proof questions.  I’ve decided to revive [...]2March 25, 2009

  • Thanks to Frank Simpson and company for letting me sit in last night at Southeast.  I’ve played a couple of times with ‘OJ’ before, and he always puts together a good team, so I was glad to see a chair open at his table.  In the end, we were tied with the always formidable Team [...]1March 22, 2009

    Spring Training Trivia

  • I got to sit in with some of the folks from my first ‘regular’ team last Friday night at St. Joseph’s Church in Chatham for a fundraiser for the Sangamon County Xplosion softball team.   We ended up squeaking out a first place finish out of about 20 teams.  The categories were entertaining and the only [...]0March 16, 2009

    Victory in Chatham

  • Make sure you check out Dan Naumovich’s latest Sunday AM column about ‘mulligans’, and their effect on the local trivia night scene.  I happened to have been playing with Dan during both of the mulligan-enriched instances he references in the column, so I saw the wheels turning on this thing before it hit the SJ-R. Love [...]0March 16, 2009
