Our second edition of "Facebook Live Trivia Night" was another great success, as we had another great turnout of folks last night who took part and played. The highest number I saw at any one time online live was 49. And some old friends from my first stint as Trivia host at Professor Thom's turned up: Joe, Gillian and Mariangela, some of my hardcore Trivia players from the late 2000s and early 2010s. And they were the winners last night, rolling up 50 points using that classic team name "I Wish This Microphone Were a Penis"! Congrats to them on their victory.
We took out the Current Events round, as I figured with this pandemic there isn't a whole lot else going on, so we played just four rounds. I am considering returning to five rounds next Thursday by adding another Special Category. I'll let you all know early next week what we'll be doing.
