photo-1

The Blazing Sea Nuggets knocked off the Jesters of Tortuga, 149-139, to take the 2013 Autumn Invitational Sunday night at the City Tap House. Duane’s World came in third, and Boo-urns, relative newcomers who made it in as a wild card team, made their presence felt with an impressive 4th place finish. The Nuggets aced rounds 3 and 5 to take the crown.

Johnny’s dope rapping skills made for a fairly interesting Round Four, where JGT rapped the lyrics to famous soundtrack songs, and teams had to write down the name of the artist and the soundtrack the song was heard on.( The biggest cheer of the night went out when Goodtimes announced that he would NOT be rapping while giving the answers.

Between round performances by the Tom Waits band The Drunken Pianos added to the gaiety of the evening. Many thanks to all teams who participated. Scores are listed below, with bars of each team next to them.

Quizzo Doubleheader on Sunday?

thSome of you have attended Noah Tarnow’s Big Quiz Thing at the World Cafe Live in the past, and know that it can be a lot of fun. Well, get this: he’s doing one this Sunday at 8 p.m. At the World Cafe Live, which is a mere 10 blocks from City Tap House. I talked to him recently and told him we’d be wrapping up around 8, so if he could hold off until 8:30, we’d probably get a couple of teams there. He said, “Sure.” So if any of you junkies want to double up on exciting quiz action on Sunday night, I wanted to make sure you knew about this, taking place right after the Invitiational. He runs a very good quiz.
