I’m in tonight. Since all the regular teams I’ve talked to are not planning on trivia next week, I think it _should_ be canceled. I won’t officially call it until I talk to the bar tonight, though. (I may ask Aaron to do a show of hands at the beginning to represent the non-Facebook-using contingent.) And on the infrequent occasions that I do need candles, there are less time-consuming ways to purchase them than parties. ---

This post wasn’t so nice it needed to be in there twice. ---

Trivia is officially canceled for Election Day. Shocker. I am officially going to see John Hodgman at Town Hall on Wednesday. Anyone want to officially do a Monday or Thursday trivia night? Or Friday at Neptune Coffee? (Oh, wait, that’s Seinfeld trivia night. Pass.) ---

I’m up for Monday, out for Thursday unless my hip doesn’t heal, in which case I’ll not be fencing. Being single with no kids, I could sequester myself and watch every episode of Seinfeld I could get my hands on over the course of the next week, but that also might cast me back in time to the 90s. ---

Wait! Hold the presses! Hodgman is Thursday night, not Weds. So I’m up for Monday or Wednesday. All else being equal, I’d rather try someplace new, but let’s figure out when works for everyone first. ---

I could do Monday night, but not Wednesday unless it’s a kid-friendly place and trivia finishes by, say, 7pm, or unless it starts after 9pm, in which case it doesn’t have to be kid-friendly. …so, yeah, no Wednesday for me. ---

I could do tonight - but not Wednesday. ---

I can make it either night, but it kind of looks like the consensus is forming around tonight. Now we just need to decide where. Personally, I’d like to stick to north Seattle– Jabu’s looks okay, but $10 entry fee. Nabob doesn’t (no cash, just money off the tab) Lockspot seems interesting Prost! is near my house, and has no team member-limit, but the format is unspecified Finn McCool’s isn’t my taste (money off tab) and doesn’t start until 9 The Boxcar doesn’t have a page on [Quiznight.net](http://Quiznight.net). I can’t find any other source that says they still do trivia. Then there’s the places we’ve been before. I vote for the Lockspot, I guess. Or Prost! Or Jabu’s. Yep, not wishy-washy at all. ---

Can’t make Monday or Wednesday, so I’ll see you all next Tuesday at the non-new place. ---

I’m in for tonight, and I will reprise my **E. Thorp** costume so his loss will not be felt. I’m kidding, about the costume part. I vote for wherever has the best food. ---

What? Your costume is made of felt? ---

Boxcar is on Quiznight, and [does do trivia](http://www.myspace.com/boxcaralehouse), but on Tuesday nights, not Monday. Is there enthusiasm for tonight, or just a willingness to do it? I’m probably able, but currently feeling uninspired. I’d probably vote for Jabu’s, because I figure a $10 entry fee means good possibility of big prizes. ---

On second thought, I’m out for tonight and for this week. We’ve got in-laws coming to town, and although they’re not staying with us (thank god!) we’ve got stuff to do to get ready. Much as I’d like to try someplace new, it’s the usual next week for me. ---

I’m wishy washy on tonight. Very tired (will explain later). Not opposed, just sort of meh. Might change my mind later. ---

We all know what David Sedaris thinks of wishy washy people. Looks like we wait until next Tuesday. If there is a next Tuesday… ---

I guess I can find some stuff to do that will fill the empty hours usually occupied by trivia. See you all next week. ---

I’m a solid maybe for tonight. I’m at work, but my wife’s at home with our daughter because school is closed for Veterans Day. If the day goes well, I’ll be at trivia. If not, I’ll be not at trivia. But I likely won’t know until this evening, so if I’m there, I’m there. ---

To the contrary, if I’m not there, I’m not there. But I expect to be there. Having no wife, daughter, or school holiday to redirect my priorities, I’m pretty sure I will show up. ---

I’m in also. Mostly because I’m lazy and want to get out of a long night of fencing. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-pub-trivia-08-with-a-vengeance/432754.md?page=19) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-pub-trivia-08-with-a-vengeance/432754.md?page=21)
