Another week, another point for my Street Academy one man wrecking crew team. Things didn’t start out well for me, I messed up on which patriot’s statue stands in front of Faneuil Hall (I said Paul Revere, it was John Adams), and I didn’t know the most populous city in the most populous nation (I said Beijing, it was actually Shanghai), but as the game progressed I was able to nail some other questions. and in the end, when the final category was “Halls of Fame,” I played conservatively, heard the question, kicked myself because I knew the answer cold (who inducted Madonna into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame), and eventually picked up a third-place finish and another standings point.
Currently this means I’m tied with the Big Red Machine for the #1 seed, and the top 8 teams get into the final championship trivia session.
So here are the standings, the top 8 teams in green:
- Big Red Machine – 18 points
- STREET ACADEMY – 18 points (+1 for third place)
- Mayhem – 14 points
- Woo Hoo a Go Go – 13 (+3 for second place)
- Beer Addled Brains – 11 (+5 for 1st place)
- Brown Van Experience – 6
- Tres Hombres – 5
- Stern Fans – 4
- Liquor in the Front, Poker in the Rear – 3
- Donna Martin Graduates – 3
- Clay Aiken’s Skidmarks – 3
- 40 oz. Bounce 1
