Brainstormer’s Pub Quiz
So another Tuesday rolled around, which meant only one thing for me and my crew, Pub Trivia. Throughout the Bay Area, local bars and pubs have a weekly trivia night, where teams compete intellectually to earn various prizes such as free beers, mugs and money off your tab. Teams of 4-6 members are the norm and there are usually anywhere from 5-10 teams competing. For the most part, trivia night lasts around 2 hours, and includes 7 rounds of questions. Question categories can range anywhere from general knowledge to pop culture to history to medicine and so forth. Many locals teams, which we like to call “the regulars”, are generally very smart and earn most of the prizes, but its an awesome feeling when my team of 22 year olds, the BLUE BARRACUDAS, can embarrass them by pulling out a victory.
So last night he Blue Barracudas finished in a very respectable 2nd place behind a group of what looked to be a bunch of historians/engineers/professors. We were the youngest team there, and winning second place was a great feeling because you could see the anguish in the other teams faces due to the fact they couldn’t outsmart intoxicated kids. Well, the purpose of this rant is to challenge you to come out to these events to see if you can beat the Blue Barracudas. We can be found every Tuesday at the San Jose location. Let me warn you however; it will not be easy. Our work ethic and diversity are top notch, so bring your A game. Before you come to a trivia I also suggest you test your knowledge on some basic games that Become.com offers, so that you’re not embarrassed in front of the other teams. Check out trivial pursuit and jeopardy, those might be able to help you a little.
Well, that’s it for now. Check out the schedules and dates for these events, and maybe you’ll learn a thing or two.
