We had a full bar watching the Celtics defeat in Miami on Tuesday night, and when it concluded, 17 teams took part in Trivia Night. (I stayed outside a good part of the night as the regulars were coming to Thom's, just to let them know that yes indeed, a night of Trivia was going to happen.)
It was a noisy night in the bar, and you could guess who was a common theme in the team names. We only did four categories due to starting at 10 PM, but I was glad so many people stayed until the end.
It was close throughout the night, but the team of In a Final Act of Terrorism, Osama Bin Laden Blew Up My Facebook Newsfeed wound up winning, as they came from third place but running the table in IQ Trivia to snatch a four point victory with a total of 40. My congratulations on their victory.
Second place went to Seal Team 3.14, and third went to Buncher Smackers with 35 points.
It looks like next week's Trivia Night will happen on Tuesday, May 10th at 9 PM. The Bruins may have a Game 6 playoff game that night should their series progress that far. Check back to my blog for more updates. Keep your fingers crossed.
