Slog - Comments on And the Slog Happy Trivia Winners Are... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/and_the_slog_happy_trivia_winners_are First a HUGE thanks to all of you who came out to Slog Happy last night--I think the College Inn Pub was the perfect place to have it in October. Hot food, lots of beer, and I was pretty impressed with how well our server managed to remember a list of orders a dozen drinks long. How do they do that? Jonah was a great trivia host (and I was glad to see Scary Tyler Moore and Joh put him in his place when we got too cocky!), and in the end, all the scores were pretty close! I think...

They contributed about as much as I did -- a few questions each. Ms. Scary had most of the answers filled out before I'd really grasped what the question was. She got FRED HAMPTON, fer cryin' out loud.

A good time was had by me. The caramels were OFF THE HOOK, yo. I think that's what you young people say these days.

Oh, and for the record, I am NOT particularly into either The Big Bopper nor The Andrews Sisters (the Paris Sisters, now....)

karaoke could be disastrous.

Monster November Slog Happy, by my muppet-imperial decree, will feature a live flame-war between Scary Tyler Moore and myself.

Live as in using actual flamethrowers. Better hold it outside, as in in Cal Anderson Park, with our drinks in paper bags.

Eat my flames, wenches!

I do think we should have a 'rock band' off...get teams of 4, see who can get the high score. That would be the one thing I know I could beat STM at....wait. Maybe not, she is CRAFTY!

And goddamnit I wanted to win so bad. But the caramels were the winner of the night. Thanks so much Wisepunk!

Loved the chocolates, and glad they had pints and pitchers of cider for us to share with our friends!

And congrats to our winning teams! Way to go! Even us losers had fun ...

And at a place with far, far less fratboy types shouting at baseball on TV. Not that I don't like sports, but it was distracting.

And I still believe we should've gotten a point for "Heywood Jablowme" as an answer.

The caramels were out of this world good, thanks Wisepunk! And thanks to Abby for replenishing my tea stash.

Dammit, Matt Fuckin' Hickey was there and I didn't get to meet him. I definitely think a place where we could mingle freely would be nice.

Riffing off a discussion some of us had last night, maybe we should do a Slog "Salon of Shame."

i had a lovely time, as always. it always pays to be older than most of the people at slog in order to win trivia. unless, of course, it comes to the music kids listen to nowadays. how do you win at rock band or guitar hero? sam, help me out.

I had an awesome time last night, you guys! I liked the College in and our cozy little room, it was awesome for such a typical fall night.

but if you don't have karaoke and just use rock band, you're limited to the songs in the game or $$$ for more. opposed to a karaoke setup which will allow for the successful renditions of Take on Me and Unbreak My Heart.

I'm going to my Mom's today to feed her cats while she's on vacation, so I'll be sure to rifle through my old bedroom for some classic Hernandez teen angst-filled missives, just in case.

Last night was way fun, but suspiciously lacking in Stranger staffers.

I can even take requests ahead of time and try to bring in some karaoke extras that aren't in the books.

There's no real happy hour, but food is 2 for 1 until it stops being served (10:30 pm?), and the drinks are stiff.
