I added a new page to the site to serve as a repository for old rounds from past trivia nights. These are PDF conversions of the original slideshows, so less pizazz but all the content. I’ll add more when I get a chance, and I’m also working on a way to include the [...]

Starting on the North side, the Kof C 4175 Women’s Auxiliary is hosting an event at 2801 West Street. If you’re planning on [...]

I’m making a few changes to the website this week, starting with a new, friendlier form for submitting upcoming trivia nights.  I’ve also added links to the Facebook and Twitter pages.
Icons for all of the new features can be found in the top right corner.

Dropped in on a really good trivia night at the DAV club tonight.   The team I sat in with was a lot of fun to play with and we actually tied for first (but lost the tiebreaker).  To add insult to injury, when I got home and asked my eight year old daughter one of [...]
