I'll take a spot. Thanks

milz50 is our 42nd and final player.

I'll start a waiting list.

Please put us (Robert and Catherine) on the waiting list.

It looks like I won't be able to make it. I'm bummed, it sounds like a great time.

Thanks for organizing

My wife would like to attend also. Can you please add her to the (wait)list?

I just learned last night that there is a wake I must attend Wed. evening. So I'll regretfully take my name off the list and let someone from the waiting list take my place. Mea culpa....

Due to logistical concerns, we recommend that teams no larger than four be formed. Thanks.



milz50, definitely include your wife in the festivities.

Looking forward to it. Should be a lot of fun.

Are we supposed to form teams before Wednesday night?

No. It's not at all necessary. Before play tomorrow night, you will be able to form your own team of up to four players, be randomly appointed to a team, or even play solo if you'd like. We'll work that out there before play begins.

A brief glance at google's map suggests that the only parking is street parking.

a. Street parking is hard to find.
b. Street parking is plentiful.
c. There's a lot nearby.
d. All of the above.
e. None of the above.
f. What kind of doofus has never been to Chief O'Neill's before and doesn't already know the answer?

I'm not going to make it - had some problems on the way over and had to turn around and come back. Really upset I can't be there, hope there will be another one soon!

Spectacular event, well planned and executed, huge fun...and educational!

Pigmon, Trixie Pea, Sula, ReneG, and Jazzfood...thank you so much for making this happen.

Great time. It was evident that Rob, Kristen, Peter and Mike put a lot of work into it, and Alan's food was outstanding. as always. Just can't figure out why bribing the judges didn't work. I thought this was Chicago.

Chicago Craft Beer Week!

This was hugely fun. Tremendous thanks are due to the generous, ambitious, talented organizers and hosts!

Ditto and ditto. A hugely fun experience all the way around: great to see so many folks (though I was sorry I didn't have more time to talk with more people), superb food, and a brilliantly designed evening. It's clear that a great deal of time, effort, imagination, and thought went into the planning and it showed. Great--and really wildly diverse--questions and a lot of fun. Many thanks to all involved...can't wait for the next one.


PS One question: will the questions/answers be posted? It would be great fun to see them.

Well said.

I had a great time last night! I really enjoyed seeing the folks I knew and meeting some new friends.

Thanks-Jeff

Hi,

I arrived late, randomly sat where there was seating left and by happenstance joined the winning team. Hellodali, pig ears, annak and scanz were already doing very well. Our team had some especially nailbiting moments toward the end, because of those last three sheets tallied at the end. Name those spices with the composite at the end, not so easy and the lighting there was dim. I hope someone took a picture of the 11 types of macaroni shapes to identify. Who knew there was a tennis racket shaped pasta?

For our efforts, we received a bottle of Colcannon Irish whiskey (my Mom was sooooo delighted, because it was 1) Irish, 2) Whiskey and better yet it was 3) Irish Whiskey) and a gift certificate for a return visit.

The format for this was really well thought out: rounds of questions, which each team wrote responses on a sheet, then the answers were revealed with each team grading their own sheet. The sheets were collected and totals tallied by the organizers onto a spreadsheet, so periodically the score would be revealed on the big screen television.

The origins of the yeast related to making lager beer was posted last year.

I loved all the LTH voiceclips, where you had to guess who was speaking. I knew it was TonyC the very moment he mentioned lettuce in his fried rice. This thread was ground zero for that issue.

Much thanks to Pigmon, Trixie Pea, Sula, ReneG, and Jazzfood, for a truly fun evening.

Regards,

It was great fun. There was a real sense that LTH Trivia Night should be added to the LTH annual schedule.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night. As PIGMON said, it was great to see new faces alongside LTH friends we hadn't seen in years. Getting together, meeting people from our community and having a good time was really our only goal. Excellent service and food from jazzfood's team at Chief O'Neill's, the smooth comedic stylings of m'th'su, Dr. Peter Engler's bonus round, and stevez's technical expertise and council really made the night.

Special thanks to dmnkly, Aaron Deacon, crrush, TonyC, Josephine and tatterdemalion for their thoughtful, funny and awesomely weird contributions. We'd rather have you in person, but this was the next best thing!

Congratulations to THE PARSNIP FACTOR (scanz, annak, PigEars, hellodali, Cathy2) for taking 1st prize!

One of the highlights for me was certainly when Dr. Engler (Rene G) asked everyone if they had "eaten their chunks yet."

::

Gypsy Boy--I will post the questions soon.

I join the chorus in thanking PIGMON, Trixie-Pea, m'th'su, ReneG, stevez, Jazzfood and the staff at Chief O'Neill's. Mr. X and I had a great time. As nr706 said, I'm not quite sure how our blatent attempt at bribing the judges didn't work, but at least Team Less Than Humble listened to m'th'su's instructions.
