Drunk / Mercury Trivia @ Club 21

Posted by Alison Hallett on Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 1:03 PM

Tonight at Club 21, 2035 NE Glisan, the first-ever "Blogtown Mingler" (we can work on that name). Contrary to last week's post, trivia actually starts at 8 pm—I'll try to get there early and grab a table. Not sure how many people are gonna show up or if we're gonna have to have more than one team; we'll have to play it by ear. I'll bring a very special Team Mascot for our table so you'll know who we are. Also I should note that I am terrible at trivia and have never claimed to be otherwise. I mostly just like drinking, and social experiments. (Ned Lannamann talks a big game, though.) Stop by, say hello, meet the people you hang out with on the internet.

If that mascot's not in the form of a cat, I'm making my own fucking team.

I'm there. I'm actually meeting someone there for a date so I guess I will have to play nice. The Mighty Trolls of Blogtown vs. The Poncy Effete of the Mercury

Nerd Alert! I'm supposed to meet up with my DnD group tonight... So... unless that falls through, I'm not going to be able to make it this week.

I really hope there are gonna be some questions on obscure twee bands from the late '80s. If so, you all are doomed.

Kiala, you can be our "phone a friend" in case there is something we don't know. Unlikely, but still.

How'd ya'll do?

Hopefully I don't have anything rear its head next week, I swear I want to do this.

Even though sitting at a table with smirk will be uncomfortable.... (mainly for me)

It was fun. I was totes stumped by the Darwin question: Apparently he invented the rolling office chair????
I was on Team Squiggles BTW.
Next time I'll harrass the Merc staff instead of lurking in the back.

I am HUNGOVER. The only thing getting me this day at work is the glorious feeling of having been on the WINNING TEAM. I am a WINNER.

I also plan on listening to a lot of the Outfield and Boston at work today.

I think I left the camera cord at home. I WILL put up pictures eventually (as per drunkenly yelling "these are going on the internet, bitches").
