Three. They just move around and paint themselves a lot.
I checked the scores – we were credited with 40 points, which put us squarely in the middle of the pack.
I liked the quiz, thought the food was fine but unexciting, and hated the pacing. I’d go back, but wouldn’t make it my regular spot even if we were looking for something like that.
Hey guys, picnurse tipped me off to this thread. I’m moving to Seattle in early September, and I’m flying up to scout apartments and stuff the week of the 21st. If you guys are meeting for pub trivia that week, I’d love to join you! Could someone hook me up with the where and when?
Oh, I’ll also be bringing a friend. He’s not a Doper, but he’s an okay guy otherwise.
Sure, the more the hairier. We don’t always know week to week where we’re going to be, let alone a month out; so when you’re in town, check this thread and feel free to ask more information if we’re speaking in oblique shorthand.
Psst, Cervaise – the 21st is next week.
Are we on for tomorrow at the OP?
Just FYI, I’m hosting at the Old Pequliar on the 21st. So either take that as encouragement to play or a big flashing warning sign.
I’ll be at the OP tomorrow night, too, helping out David, who’s shooting for a harder quiz this week.
Mmm, I read the Hippie’s post as saying he’d be here the week of the 21st in September. I can see your reading but to me it’s still ambiguous.
grumble grumble
Haha, fair enough Cervaise. I certainly could have worded that more clearly.
The Old Pequliar, eh? Is that the “OP” that everyone is refering to? Jeez, couldn’t find a pub with a less confusing acronym?
Darn server. I guess the quote "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas applies to my StraightDope replies. It was super clever.
One jet lagged intranational traveller will be there, in body. Hopefully the questions will be things like: “Name three different slot machines.”, or “What did you have to drink five minutes ago?” I’m money for those.
I’ll be there tonight, and almost surely next week as well.
Looking forward to having some new blood, Corporate Hippie. If I were the organizing type (I’m not), I might take your moving here as an excuse for a Seattle Dopefest. It’s been a while since we had one.
Don’t know if we’re in or not yet. I suspect not. I just started my new job, and we’re in the middle of…wait for it…closing on a house. More details as events warrant.
I’ll post again if we will show.
Congratulations! You’re doomed.
I’m in tonight.
I’ll be there tonight.
Aguecheek, you’re closing already? Dang, that was fast!
Can’t make it tonight, since I’m… wait for it… closing the store. Okay, fine, not as exciting as Aguecheek’s news (Congrats! That was fast!), but I switched places with a co-worker this week and so I’m screwed. Unless it happens again, I should be in next week.
Thanks guys!
You’ll hear more tonight…we’re in.
Okay, I guess me and my friend will be joining you guys for trivia Monday night. Umm, what time should we show up? Is parking at this place a hassle or anything? Oh, and how will I find you guys?
Thanks! Looking forward to it!
My impression is that the parking isn’t too bad, but since I don’t have a car and travel by bus, I’ll let the car-owners chime in on that.
We like to sit near the stage, and I’ll bring a tent sign for the table. It’ll say “SDMB Trivia Team”.
The action starts at 8, but you can come earlier if you want food or to socialize a bit. I often get there before 7. Check the thread on Tuesday if you get the chance.
Now I’m confused. The Old Pequliar has trivia on Mondays too? I can do Monday, I think.
Sorry, missed the ‘Monday’ in your post, Corporate Hippie. Trivia is on Tuesday at the Old Peculiar.
But Interrobang!? said the 21st which is Monday.
