Oh, so many great memories from this year. Let me know if you'd like yours added to the list.
Before the contest even began there was the arrival of the Voodoo Doll and the "hex" that came along with it. The monster truck appeared to have done the trick in destroying the doll's power. While our team did have some pretty nasty breath at the awards ceremony, it didn't seem connected with the fact that we didn't turn off all electronics during hour 13. It probably had more to do with Danielle's yummy dip, in which case, it was totally worth it!
Chipotle losing our online order. Thankfully the worst of our internet troubles for the weekend.
There were many hilarious rounds of "Wiki Wars" played between questions and lots of "style points" awarded.
Sara's "No Game Zone Pledge," modeled after Oprah's "No Phone Zone Pledge," was signed by many and boycotted by a few. How hard is it not to play video games during open questions? Okay, I know the answer to that, which is why it's been years since I've played ANY video games during trivia weekend. Just like Oprah says: What happens when the light turns green? Or when you hear your fish tank calling you from another tab and your google searches are coming up dry? Video games are more evil than any voodoo doll!
Burrito Hour, Poptart Hour, Mystery Muffin Hour, Smoothie Hour, Chocolate Malt Hour, yummy!
Ben and Danielle brought along Brett, our own personal barista, for the weekend with all his fresh roasted coffee and paraphernalia. What a treat! Thanks to Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. for the amazing coffee!
All the love from the phone bank and question dispute lines. We loved talking to everyone, even when we didn't get points from you!
And suddenly, it was Premium Hour. We were not ready for the weekend to be over. Maybe another four hours should be added to the contest. :)
If you have more memories to add to this entry, please send them along. Sometimes the weekend becomes a blur by the end of 50 hours.
