In Seattle, Tuesday night is trivia night -- the 2004 thread

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to be there or not…Lady Cheek has the car and has several errands to run, and I’m at home, on the other side of the water.

So if I can’t make it, have a good time, and herownself, good bye and good luck and we’ll miss you <--------THIS MUCH!--------> and all that sentimental stuff!

You better be there, you slacker.

Oh, wait, no: you blue-angel-lightin’ slacker.

I just wanted to pop in and apologize. I got tickets to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow last Tuesday, and I forgot to post saying I wouldn’t be able to triviate. Very pleasant flick, by the way. We got to Q & A with Kerry Conran after the show. He’s the guy who did this movie and is working on A Princess of Mars.

Anyhow, back to the apologizing. I can’t trivia this week, either. I’m working the polls as an election judge. It’s a cool title, but it really only consists of flipping through the book and having people sign for their ballots. It’ll take up my entire day.

I plan to make every effort to be there next time.

Anyone?

We’re if it looks like there’ll be someone else there. E. Thorp, unfortunately, can’t make it.

Howzabout the restayas?

I’m in. We almost won last week, so I figure we gotta keep the mojo going. I’ll be there sometime after my wife and I vote. (Yes, we still go to the polls. It’s so retro!)

Saltire, no worries about not being there. Although you did miss the vote where we decided that people coming back in after being gone for two or more weeks have to give everyone else on the team $20 each. So prepare for that next time!

I’ll be there to avenge our so-called loss last week. Never a good thing when you lose because the quizmistress wants to go home…

I’ve also got to vote first (and curse the major political parties for ruining my primary. How dare they. A plague on both their houses), but after I’ve done that, and hopefully gotten into a better mood (stupid “pick your party” checkbox) I’ll be there.

Okay, I’m excited about getting to go to trivia after 3 weeks off. So, I’m bumping the thread early.

I’ll be there around 6 or 6:30. Who else is coming?

I’ll be there, probably 7ish.

**Aguechica ** and husband say they’re coming, but not sure when.

Hel-looo!

Anyone in? We’ll be there at the usual time.

I’m kind of tired, and was going to skip it this time because it cuts into my sleeping time.

But then I talked to my morning-boss, and she said she wouldn’t mind if I came in late and did my work for her in the evening. So I’ll go to trivia and sleep in. Happiness. :slight_smile:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe.

I’m running payroll tonight; whether or not I get to trivia depends on what time everything is wrapped up.

Just for those that may be keeping score, we got 31 out of 40, but the winners got 36. A very high-scoring night.

By the way, we should have gotten a point on the electoral college question. He asked, “Besides Texas and California, which western state has the most votes in the electoral college?” After someone pressed for clarification, he said that “western” meant “west of the Mississippi river.”

We put down Missouri, I believe, and he said the answer was Washington. It turns out both states have 11 votes.

I do! I do! I do! May I be adored by one and all even if I’m not in Seattle? :slight_smile:

What, no trivia bump? I’ll be there if anyone else is planning on it.

You talked me into it. I’ll be there around 6:00 or 6:30.

We’re not in this week. We’re trying to get all the “to dos” done before we leave for vacation on the 16th.

We’ve made a firm decision to come next week though.

I’ll be there. Probably in the vicinity of 7:00.

Don’t know if anybody’s still reading, but I’m out this week. Got work around the house, and I’ll be watching the VP debate (aka “Bambi vs. Godzilla”). See y’all next week.

Good morning.

I’ll be there tonight, but late – probably around 7:30. Unless, of course, no one else is going to be there. I’ll check the thread this evening.
