And the best part of playing at such an event on Friday: Seeing the winner of the Think Again round of Spotlight listed as "51-way tie". |

Wonder if they cranked up the difficulty just for you guys or if it was just a coincidence. Wish they'd do the same for Playback, but I'm expecting more of the same repeatfest tonight  For the love of God, buzztime, please hire a new Playback writer!

Opiee and I had a great time at Triviapalooza 7. Thank you Chucky for making it run very smoothly. Thanks for setting it all up with SGP and the hotel. Fine service from both places. The worst that happened was some delay in being able to log on a box on Friday night, but it wasn't that long. No crashes at all, even with 59/60 boxes in play. But of course there was the usual bash hit or miss lag on a few questions per game when there was over about 35/40 boxes in use. That was clearly the reason why we didn't win Spotlight. Spiegs seemed to have extreme trouble with the lag on every single box he tried.  Of course he had no trouble spilling at least 3 or 4 beers on the floor.  Glad to see many folks we had meet before in WV or at the Chicago and Wichita bashes. You all know who you old timers are. Also glad to finally put some faces with names we had seen on here but never met because we hadn't made an Ohio triviapalooza. That huge Ohio group was much fun. It was good to talk with SIKO about New Smyrna Beach FL bars and get the updates on our buddy CHICAU. We also enjoyed INATIF's company, I hope we didn't bore her too much with the MD stories and local bar stuff. Meeting our main Thur. night SIX Challenge competition from West Park was cool, hello to IDJT, now please screw up this week in final SIX. Wishing safe travels to PENGWN and GIMPY and their long, long drive back to Calgary with their coins. Then last, but never least, there was the FLY....up to the usual BOTFLY tricks, thanks mon, irie. All of us from BWW Gaithersburg MD wish you much happy button pushing (with no lag) and see you on the boards. |

Had a great time in Elkridge, MD! Thanks, Jets! I've also had great times in the northern burb of Cincinnati in years past, so I would not mind Triviapalooza 8.0 returning to its historical home. But, here's my comparison take: Hotel: Huge advantage, Baltimore. Much nicer than the LaQuinta, with the only drawback being the only Inglés word the housekeeping staff understands in "Housekeeping!" Also, a wireless download speedof 57 MBPS in a hotel? Great, and twice the speed I have at home. Bar: Another huge advantage, Baltimore. Much better food and drink, and the air conditioning actually works! Plus, although it took a while to get a beer, the staff was incredibly friendly. Travel: For me, Cincinnati has the advantage, but for far more people in the US, advantage goers to Baltimore. If players fly in, huge advantage to Baltimore, with the hotel having airport shuttles. Tradition: Cincinnati. No contest. But, my beloved Cleveland Municipal Stadium stood for 64 years before she was demolished, and was replaced by newer and better things (except for that POS football stadium). Thus, while the call on Triviapalooza 8.0 remains in the hands of those who put the blood, sweat and tears into conducting and hosting it, I'm more than willing to spend the extra driving time and gasoline to stay at that Best Western Plus and have crab cakes at Stained Glass Pub again! |

All of us from BWW Gaithersburg MD wish you much happy button pushing (with no lag) and see you on the boards. Thanks, BUD! GIMPY opted to stay in Mississauga and visit her family for a few days, leaving me to make the solo drive home, which I did through northern Ontario rather than re-enter the US as we originally planned. Final odometry was 9324 km (5795 miles). I didn't get receipts for every gas fill-up, but I figure that total was about $750, which is only slightly more than what I spent for Greyhound tickets last year After Palooza, we went duckpin bowling on Sunday, basked on Seabright Beach (just south of Sandy Hook) on Monday, saw Niagara Falls and GIMPY's best friend in Toronto on Tuesday. After that, I explored the Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island (including the famous Mounted Animal Nature Trail, which is now contained in a cabin), before turning westward for the marathon drive (by Marathon) home Probably the zaniest adventure was camping Monday night. We tried to find a couple of campgrounds in the NE corner of Pennsylvania, either by internet or signage, but had no luck locating anything. Unlike in Maryland, we did find a Mormon monument ground, and decided we could get away with pitching the tent in the trees for the night without too many people noticing. Turns out we had stumbled on the town where Joseph Smith lived while writing/translating the Book of Mormon, and said monument is actually a significant pilgrimage destination. We awoke to about twenty people milling about (including one couple with a professional photographer in tow), and while we were dismantling the tent, a full-size tour bus arrived Overall, I had a fantastic vacation. Thanks to all the people who participated and made it so memorable, especially ANON and family for putting us up after our Fellowship visit, and JETS for putting together a helluva great weekend! I'll probably be camping this weekend with my new trivia chair  and will raise my remaining bottle of Old Leghumper to your collective health

I was asked about my travels this year. I said the best trip I took was to Triviapalooza 7.0. It's the only time I have driven 500 miles to see people who live less than 50 miles from me. it was a blast. I am looking forward to the 8th installment of this crazy event. t |
