So, are we doing tonight at the Irish Emigrant, or tomorrow at the Old Pequliar? I’m up for either, but I think tonight works better for me. ---

Mmm, haven’t done the Emigrant in a while. Mashed potato sandwiches, mmm… ---

They have mashed potato sammiches there? Why did I not know this? ---

Well, to be strictly accurate, it’s an open-face turkey-gravy-mashpatata sandwich on potato bread. I just like mashed potatoes so that’s how I think of it. So are we doing this or not? Anybody? Hello? I’m all for it but if it’s just two people we’ll get their butts kicked. ---

I can’t do it this week. I have to go be Seth’s tallyman tomorrow night at the OP, and I should probably pretend I want to see my Mom some evenings while she’s here, since she’s being so kind as to babysit all day. FYI, there’s a new place to socialize with other Seattle trivia teams, though it’s very, very new so far: [http://quiznight.net/](http://quiznight.net/) Next week, maybe? ---

I’ll be there, though not playing. **inkysplotchy** will be there, playing. And…our mother will probably be joining us! Well, joining you, though I’ll probably hang out and talk. ---

I plan to attend, but I’ll probably be cutting things somewhat close by my usually-early standards. My cat is in the hospital today for a procedure, so I’m going home to see her before heading out to trivia. ---

We are _not_ in, sorry. On the bright side, however, we signed on our house last night, so a special home-type trivia night will soon be in order. Say hi to **Interromom!?** for me. Or should that be **inkymommy**? ---

Interromom. They’re got the Interrochild, and are firstborn and all that. Inkymommy sounds like a squid, anyhow. ---

_ **VICTORY!** _ For Husker Don’t. Again. We, on the other hand, managed but a lowly fourth. And we’re talking about clearing our palates with a little Irish Emigrant next Monday. (No maximum team size! Different quiz format! Different type of soul-crushing difficulty! Different crappy food! No Husker Don’t! What’s not to love?) ---

I’m up for Monday. And while the Emigrant is fine, anyone feel like changing things up and trying out [Kate’s Pub](http://www.quiznight.net/venue/20) in Wallingford? Either way, I may post that I’ll be there on [quiznight.net](http://quiznight.net) and see if anyone wants to seek us out and take us on. Or I can not do that and let us fly under the radar. Either way. ---

That’s be great. I hear Kate is really easy. I mean, her quiz. Or… Never mind. ---

Okay, trivia tonight at Kate’s Pub in Wallingford – 309 NE 45th. There’s a map and rudimentary details [here](http://quiznight.net/venue/20). Quiz starts at 8, teams can have up to 6 players. In case of emergency, or lack of quiz at Kate’s, let’s make sure we get there early enough to zip to the Emigrant before 8:00. Say, make sure you get to Kate’s by 7:45. And if there’s no quiz at Kate’s or the Emigrant, we’ll just have some cider and ask each other questions we know the answers to. ---

I’ll be there. I’m shooting for around 7 at Kate’s, but don’t hate me if I’m a tad later than that. ---

How’s about we do the Emmigrant right off? The [main page](http://www.quiznight.net/index.php) at [Quiznight.net](http://Quiznight.net) says they have confirmed that Kate’s quiz is taking the night off. I tried calling the Emmigrant, but they don’t open until 4pm.
