Toying with the idea of a trivia mini bash in Loiusville the first weekend in November, Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd. Plan would be to take over the trivia bars in town and dominate the leader board, with emphasis on the currently one, hopefully by then two, and with luck three independnet trivia bars.

There are several non-trivia things to do around town, like the Ali museum, Ky Derby Museum, tours of bourbon distilleries, Slugger Museum and Factory, and a couple of casinos. There won't be a Louisville football game that weekend, won't know basketball schedule for a while.

People will need to know if JESSE is attending. If so might as well make every game cutthroat.

I don't have Jesse's phone number any more, but perhaps someone in Senior Management of this site might?

BO, Jesse won't be here, unless he get's permission. I doubt he will, and I don't think he will attend.

YODA, November is a long way off, but if I'm here, I will be there to yell out wrong answers that I somehow thought were right. However, don't worry, I'm not gonna be drinking and driving, because I will be riding with you. :lol:

Great idea, YODA, I hope it works out. :D

p.s. If your Louisville trivia tour gets off the ground, and a lot of people say they are coming, I think you will have to find a list of local trivia bars that have more than 10 reliable boxes.

..............Goodnight I'm going to bed.

Well, my hope/plan was to have the event on the first weekend of a month where it was also the first few days of the month. If enough people show up, we can have two groups, one at 30Red and the other at Bungalow Joe's, which aren't extremely far away from each other, and compete against each other all afternoon/night. If a third independent place shows up, we can split into three teams, and have Louisville up on the top 20's all night.

If interest continues to grow, I will talk to both owners about having 10-20 solid working boxes for the event.

What would the day-by-day itinerary be?

The idea of rotating three sites seems nifty until hotels, check-in times, and check-out times are considered. Still, I'd consider driving out if I knew more about the exact plans so that I could investigate lodging.

Yes, proximity to hotels is another thing to consider. I've got a feeling that some drinking might be going on, and a short drive for visitors might be a good idea. Plus we don't want our guests getting lost on long drives from the hotel to the bar, or driving back again in the dark.

No day-by-day set yet. Thoughts right now are Thursday night through Sunday afternoon, varying based on when people get here. Mornings would be set aside for recovery from the night before, early afternoons for people to visit places around time, late afternoons and evenings for trivia.

I wasn't thinking rotating between the two (hopefully three) so much as a group on one bar against a group on another. we can tour the bars as well, but I'd like to see one head-to-head cross-town shoot-out

As for hotels, most of them are on the interstate system, so driving is safe. There is an extended-day hotel between the two bars if you drive the safe/long way.

Driving is safe. Really? How many people are killed on the Gene Snyder every year?
Answer - several.

To me, if you are going to do something like this then hotels need to be in walking distance. The only option you have is Springhurst with Old Chicago and BW3 within walking distance of two hotels. Plus, Old Chicago and the new BW3 can handle large groups of players. I am not a fan of these locations. But, this is the only option to keep players safe and out of trouble. Unless you hire a shuttle service, the other locations would be risky and I would not want to held responsible if someone got arrested or worse hurt in an accident. Just my thoughts. :)

Cards, with all due respect, sir, I'm not really organizing anything. I'm basically saying "Hey...anyone want to come to Louisville on the first weekend of November?" If there is interest, I will talk to the owners of 30Red and Bungalow Joes to see if they want to host people from out of town to play trivia and perhaps have a battle of the bars. That way they can set aside a large table in the middle of College football season and make sure they have a large supply of working boxes....and beer.

I can drive some people around the city to visit other (BW3/Old Chicago) places, but I haven't given thought to one place for everyone close to a hotel. I won't hire a shuttle service. We are all adults here and make our own decisions. If someone wants to drink, cut off early, and drive, that is their choice. Likewise they can drink to their heart's/liver's content and have someone else drive them or call a cab. I can also provide a phone number for a taxi to take them around, and there might be people (such as a friend of Cloudy's) who don't drink at all and can drive people.

What I meant by "safe" was that there is a limited access highway that can feed drivers to I-64, which has a lot of hotels. Yes, there are a lot of accidents every year on the "gene slider", and I don't condone driving under the influence. In no time is anyone safe on the road, considering the other idiots who drink and drive and can hit us, even if we are 100% sober.

I'm just tossing out an idea, and your idea of a home base close to a hotel is a great idea. If we can get the pizza place to add trivia, it is close to a cluster of hotels, although not walking distance, but not very far either. I appreciate your suggestion, and if this does work out this time, I hope you can join us.

YODA, you know that I love you like a brother, but I think CARDS makes some good points. I agree with him that walking distance to the hotel makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons. I also agree with him that bars that have a large number of reliable Playmakers are where we should go. Those, who come, will have gone to considerable effort and expense to be here, and not having enough boxes for everyone, or having boxes die on them would not be good.

Depending on how many decide make the trip, as well as locals, who join in, I would prefer that we all play together as a team, so we could get to know each other. I understand that a large group could very well necessitate playing at two bars, due to seating and Playmaker availability.

Answer - several. The most recent year for which I found stats is 1999. Six died on the Gene Snyder. Five more died on I-64.

MiniYoda, I checked out the geography.

Both 30Red and Bungalow Joe's look like really nice places to play. The trouble is that neither is close to a hotel. The extended stay hotel you mention, InTown Suites, is 2.0 and 3.3 miles from the two sites, and minimum stay is a week. Also, the InTown Suites site reviews are mixed and the neighborhood is high-crime (thefts, not assaults or murders). Nicer hotels are available near I-64--I've stayed there--but those hotels are about eight miles away up the city streets and a dozen miles away via the freeways. The taxi fare is about $30 each way according to TaxiFareFinder.com.

My memories of Louisville traffic are not good. Traffic reports suggested that bad traffic was the norm for any weekday afternoon. I had planned to go play Buzztime, and I had driven about five miles west on I-64 towards Old Chicago 7052, but I literally went back to my hotel because I didn't dare drive with as much as a single beer in my system in that dense, unpredictable traffic. The ten-mile round trip took me over an hour at late lunchtime. I would be hesitant to attend a get-together in Louisville with a site not adjacent to a hotel, if for no reason other than traffic.

Barring some shuttle plan, 30Red and Bungalow Joe's don't look like good sites for a get-together. Even Old Chicago 7052 is a half-mile from the nearest hotel I can find, close enough for me but not for everybody. Louisville may not be the best site for a gathering, just due to the distance of the better sites from hotels.

TANAKA, I think CARDS suggestions answer your concerns. Take a look above, he makes good sense.

As for Louisville traffic congestion, you are kind of right. However, the farther you get away from downtown the problem dissipates, and when rush hour is over, both places that CARDS suggested would present little, if any, problem. I think Louisville would be a great place for YODA's idea, as long as it is carefully planned and thought out. Of CARDS two ideas, I think Springhurst with Old Chicago and Buffalo Wild Wings is the better.

Now we need to convince YODA that this is the way to go.

p.s. I may have pissed YODA off, because "Bungalow Joe's" and "30 Red" are two of his favorite bars for trivia, but I don't think they would work for a large group that includes out-of-town players. (Bungalow Joe's has Playmakers that are notorious for dying on you, and 30 Red only has 10 Playmakers and the owner is thinking of dropping Buzztime Trivia.)

You didn't piss me off, it's just a change in plans from what I had envisioned. Nothing wrong with it. We can still organize a quick 1-2 hour stop at each of the above locations, just to thank the independent Buzztime bars.

Cloudy, it sounds like 30 Red will have dropped trivia by November. Springhurst is really the only place to host an event. There are several places within walking distance besides trivia locations. We are all adults, but there needs to be a walking option if players want to have a good time and not worry about getting back to a hotel. Tanaka brings up a good point about cabs. Cab prices in Louisville are stupid. It is a $1 a mile plus whatever price they charge you for just getting into the cab. Plus, Louisville is not exactly a mecca for cabs. Count on waiting up to 30-45 minutes for a cab outside of downtown. Again, just my thoughts. I am not pushing one location over another.

Two more reasons for a Springhurst area event. It is just off I-71 which makes it easy for the folks coming from Cincinnati or other parts north of Louisville. Good chance you could get Vishnu and the Middletown gang to come over and play trivia. They sometimes play at Old Chicago.

Barring a major reason (earthquake, nuclear holocast, overthrow of the government, sprained ankle), we are a "go" for a bash in Louisville on the first weekend of November.

I've never hosted a get-together. In fact, I've only been to one, in Ashland, many many many many many many many many many moons ago (Scar...remember "bring your own chicken" night?). No idea what I'm doing, so suggestions are welcomed. If you are in Louisville and wish to get together to discuss, please feel free to do so. Cards, I'm assigning you as "Man with Common Sense". You have the right to veto any suggestion/comment I have.

Although our base camp will be Old Chicago Springhurst, I will try to organize visits to other bars. I can drive 4-6 people, my wife can take 2-3, and Cloudy's roomate can take a few as well, all of the drivers legally sober. I would like to visit Bungalow Joe's, and if they have trivia, 30Red and any other non-chain bars. I would be happy to plan out trips to all BW's and both OC's if you want to add them to "places I have visited".

If you plan to visit, please let me know if you want to do morning/early afternoon visits to Louisville points of interest. Feel free to research the 'net, but I can recommend the Slugger museum/plant, the Ali museum, the Ky Derby Museum and 4th Street (daytime only).

Card's recommendation of the hotel close to OC is recommended. If you make a reservation there, or somewhere else, PLEASE let me know, so I can count you as a visitor. There is one small favor I request, to everyone but especially if you are coming from out state. I save Kentucky state quarters, and needless to say they are rare in Kentucky. If you find one in your loose change, bring it with you. I will pay 2-1 for every Ky state quarter.
