Fresno Pub Quiz 2/3/2010

Heeeeeeeey, it's been a few days, but I'm finally writing a review of this last week's pub quiz.  It was an event, to be sure.  105 of you showed up to test your knowledge and drink some low-price happy hour drinks.  We're glad you did and hope that you're glad you did as well.  I know The Work of Bavmorda was glad they showed up to play.

Yes that's right folks, the jackpot got snapped up by their team in a nail-biter of a win.  They ended up tied with the Mad Figs at the end of the game and it came down to a tie-breaker.  In keeping with the Super Bowl theme we had going, the tie-breaking question was, "What is the longest punt in NFL history?"  Team member Fran from The Work of Bavmorda wrote down the correct answer of 98 yards and had the paper in my hand before the question had finished echoing around the room.  Fran was also the team member that got to draw the token and as mentioned above, it was the winning blue token so congratulations to them.  It was good to see all the other teams applaud their win.  We appreciate that spirit of fun and comradery coming from the teams that weren't quite able to get enough questions right.

What this all means, of course, is that next week, the jackpot rolls over to a new beginning.  We hope to see your smiling faces there.

Oh, and to the players that notified us of the warmth of the room and those who notified us of the lack of service due to the large crowd, we hope to have both of those issues addressed next week with the adjustment of the thermostat and the possible addition of a third server.  Yes that's right, you all have made pub quiz so popular, the Landmark is now able and considering bringing in an extra server in addition to the extra bartender they bring in already.

Thanks for playing!
