Looks like I’m bumping the thread this week, only to annouce that I will not be attending tonight’s trivia soiree due to the siren call of a free preview screening. Good luck, and I’ll see you guys next week. ---

Nor me, nor **shE**. Until next time… ---

I don’t really want to play solo, but I’ll be going as long as there’ll be other Dopers there. I might get there fairly late, as a housemate is cooking a big dinner that I should stick around for. Still, I think I can get there before 8. I really liked our outside spot last week. Everyone should make sure to have a jacket in case it gets chilly, but the fresh air and reduced noise are worth it. Let’s try to get the same spot, on the outside deck to the right (as you are coming in the front door). ---

We won’t be able to make it either, sorry. ---

I’m willing to come, or to take the week off, if that’s what the majority wants to do. I won’t be there until 8ish, as per usual. I’ll check in here at 7:30 and see what’s what. We might, gasp, have to only play one team this week. ---

Sorry, folks. I just got back from missing the last bus that would have gotten me there before 8. So, I guess I’m out as well. See you next week. ---

So, are we returning to wrest our rightful title back from whomever we allowed to take it last week? I guess we’ll have the lady quizmistress tonight, correct? As long as others will be coming, I’ll be there. I’ll be coming from work, so I’ll get there around about 7 or so, I think. The April showers threaten, but if the weather looks safe, we should get the same table we had outside two weeks ago. Bring something warm to wear. If it looks wet, we’ll try for a good spot inside. I think we should also go for the name suggested a while back, **Nirvana Nirvanadana.** Or something else. Whatever. ---

Well, I’ll be there for two, so if that’s enough, go ahead and show up and I’ll be there around 8ish. ---

I will not be attending tonight, as I have an alternate commitment. Definitely planning next week, tho. ---

We will not be attending either. My apologies. Probably showing next week, however. And once April’s over, we’ll be more regular again. Good luck! ---

I was hoping to know for sure earlier, but I have no idea whether or not I’ll make it tonight. My wife’s got veto power. I’ll stop by if I can, or call **inkysplotchy** if I can’t. Next week should be a go, though. ---

Well, I’ll be leaving here in a little while, so I’ll see **Inkysplotchy** and maybe others in a few hours. ---

Sorry to check in too late. Was anyone there last night? If so, how did you do? ---

**Saltire** , **inkysplotchy** and I almost tied for first. I’d just say we lost, except that initially it was announced that we and **Spear Britney** each had 23 points. SB had Cindy recount, though, and had 24 points; we did not. Not a bad showing for three people. The big lesson, though: only use last names when answering. We lost a point because I remembered the heavyweight boxer on the Simpsons as Derek Tatum instead of Drederick Tatum, and Cindy said specifically that she would’ve given us just Tatum. _C’est la vie_. Another team member might’ve put us over the top – we had a couple we were close on – but perhaps not. It was a good time nonetheless. ---

OK I’m in Seattle, I have the address, but I do have a couple of questions for you. [ol] [li]What time should I be there?[/li][li]Any clue on travel time to the pub from North Seattle / Shoreline?[/li][li]How will I know you guys? Or do you just want to be on the lookout for the short wide guy with glasses and a burgendy shirt? :)[/li][li]What am I forgetting? :smack: [/li][/ol] ---

1. Whoever’s coming tonight (I plan to be there and so does **Aguecheek** ; not sure about others) should have arrived by 7pm if not earlier. Trivia starts at 8pm and lasts until about 10pm. 2. Travel time: depends on traffic; I’d say 20-30 minutes. 3. We’re all incredibly good-looking. Also, as you walk in the pub, we’re usually sitting in the slightly elevated area on the left-hand side. Walk up to a table and ask if we’re with Cecil. 4. You’re forgetting to offer to buy the first round. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-seattle-tuesday-night-is-trivia-night-the-2004-thread/223743.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-seattle-tuesday-night-is-trivia-night-the-2004-thread/223743.md?page=9)
