Let’s face it.  The only way to make the final round of the Elbo Room trivia tournament was to play your way in.  And some teams tried to get in at the last moment – Team Smudge, for one; Team Badger, for another – but they could not. In fact, there were so many teams…

Have you been studying?  Are you up to date on your current events and your pop culture references?  Do you know your Cy Young winners and your Stanley Cup champions, as well as your Calder Cup champions and Memorial Cup champions? Get ready.  It’s time for the Capital District’s team trivia championship – Trivia Bowl…

No, I wasn’t at Elbo Room last night. I was actually on the road, working on a photography assignment. The trivia host, General James, was kind enough to forward who won the playoff points. Apparently Woo Hoo a Go Go won Week 19 of the Elbo Room tournament, with a team called The Grudge –…

As the tournament to win the big money winds into its final weeks, suddenly there’s been an increase in teams coming to Elbo Room, hoping to sneak into the final round and play for the big bucks. In fact, last night the place was packed to the rafters with teams – truly a far cry…

Had some interesting surprises when I arrived at Elbo Room for trivia Thursday night. The first surprise was that I was able to get a table so quickly.  Normally there are two booths at Elbo Room, and if I don’t get to the restaurant before 6:30pm, someone else will get the two booths.  I was…

Well, well, well.  Last week we had a returning team from tournaments past in Stern Fans; this week we had a returning trivia team to the Elbo Room Tournament in the squad that was originally called Just the Tips – and now they’re Team Bush.  Wasn’t expecting them, but hey any team that can show…

There was a surprise return this week at the Elbo Room Tournament. The Stern Fans – winners of Trivia Bowl IV a few years ago, and a force to be reckoned with at the Elbo Room tournament – returned for the holidays. Well, not all of the Stern Fans.  Their captain, Sim Morrell, is currently…

I don’t know what it is about this year’s tournament – maybe it’s the 20-week format, maybe it’s the holiday season, maybe it’s the lousy Atlanta-vs-Jacksonville football game available on the Elbo Room’s big screens – but last night’s tournament week was essentially contested by three teams. The only three teams that showed up. Street…
