This is an open call to all trivia players out there.  And I hope everyone takes me up on this. Parsons Child and Family Center is hosting a trivia charity event on March 1  at Jillian’s in Albany.  The event, called the “Corporate Trivia Challenge,” will gather teams of 2-5 players, who will represent their…

Last night, Brown’s Brewing was closed for a private party – in other words, no Monday night trivia for Chuck this week. Well, maybe not at Brown’s, but Chuck’s not going to miss his trivia games if he can help it. I had heard from various friends that there was a spirited trivia competition going…

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…

The only three teams that showed up. Street…

It was a chance tonight for new teams to shine at the trivia tournament.  A team called “The Team By the Fireplace” took their chance.  So did a new team called “The Trainer.”  So did a new team that I think borrowed their name from the old SCTV comedy skit about the Shmenge Brothers. At…

When I arrived at Elbo Room for trivia last night, one of the members of Woo Hoo a Go Go contacted me.  “Chuck,” he said, “I think you gave us one extra point in the standings that belongs to someone else.” “Fair enough,” I replied, “When I go home tonight after trivia, I’ll double-check.” I…

Before I give any reports on the competitive team trivia scene, some updates.  My daughter Cassaundra is out of intensive care, she’s been moved from ICU to a general bed.  Everybody from her friends to her family to her military soldiers in arms have paid her a visit, have posted on her Facebook page, have…

Although I’ve been promoting the results of the Elbo Room Trivia Tournament for a long time, the Elbo Room game is not the only trivia locale where big money can be won or lost.  Legends on Lark is currently hosting a Wednesday night tournament where there’s some big bucks on tap.  And over at Graney’s…
