[QUOTE=inkysplotchy] I’ll be there tonight to say “Asimov” to every sci-fi question. It’s a gift. [/QUOTE] Special super secret gift to you, my message board buddies: “Asimov” is the correct answer to exactly 0 questions. ---

Hi, remember me? I could probably be there tonight, but it looks like you already have five committed team members. I’m bad enough with back up. :rolleyes: Maybe next week. Oh, BTW. I saw some sample questions from the Lock Spot’s quiz. They were very easy. Too easy. My husband got 4 of the five sample questions. Either the sample Qs were bait, or fishermen aren’t too into trivia. ---

Hey, I’m not actually hosting tomorrow night for the first time in four weeks or so. So I figured it’d be fun to celebrate by going to trivia somewhere else. Anyone want to try the [Hopvine’s quiz](http://www.quiznight.net/venue/16)? I’ve heard good things. Also congrats on second place last week. ---

I don’t know anything about their quiz night, but the Hopvine is my neighborhood joint, and I can attest to their food and beer menu being far better than those of G&D, Murphy’s, or the OP. (And if you like soup, you’re really in luck. Wonderful stuff.) I was going to beg off tomorrow because of a couple of looming deadlines, but if it’s the Hopvine I’ll reconsider, though I don’t know what time I can get there. Warning: the place is pretty small, and it’s sometimes hard to get a seat even on an ordinary night, much less when there’s music, trivia, etc. Can anyone arrive early? ---

I could probably arrive early. That used to be my neighborhood also. I was living on 19th when the Hopvine opened. I remember it started as a pretentious high-end-whiskey-and-fern bar to compete with the pretentious high-end-whiskey-and-fern bar down at the other end of 15th. That one’s closed now, so maybe the Hopvine scene has relaxed a bit. Just to be safe, though, I’ll bring bongos and a copy of The Economist. ---

The bus situation seems easy, so I’m in. I can probably get there quite early, so long as the pub staff won’t mind having me hang around for hours without drinking like an Irish stereotype. ---

Sweet. I’ll plan on it, at this point, though I can’t swear to what time I’ll get there, other than “before the quiz.” But since the food’s apparently worth it, I’ll definitely eat there. Wonder if they take OP bar credit? ---

I’m glad to see that the Hopvine has a different dinner menu, because I’m getting a little tired of their lunch menu (it’s the current favorite hangout with some of my other friends). Especially since I can’t have the booze anymore. So yes, I’ll plan on being there tomorrow, and I’ll try to get there early so I can get some food – if their Sunday 1pm service speed is the norm, I’ll be prepared for a long wait… I might bring a friend, if we’re not over our team limit (6 people, right?). ---

For a group this size, I guess I’ll pick up something to read at the library and go straight to The Hopvine. I should be there camping on seats by 5:30. I’ll probably last be able to check the thread at about 4ish, so I’ll try to save spots for anyone that posts before then. Not that I wouldn’t appreciate some others getting there early enough to help save seats. Looks like the current count is 9 folks, so anyone else who gets there early to back up my claiming of that much space will be appreciated. ---

I’m afraid it’s another crunch period at work, so I can’t join in tonight. Shouldn’t be a problem next week, but I make no promises. Don’t forget to watch KCTS Chefs 2007 this weekend! ---
