Bob made me want to study up

Last night I went to the new Hessen Haus quiz night with some friends from my building. Bob Nastanovich, who's hosting the weekly event, used to be a neighbor and so my other neighbors know him pretty well.

It was fun but boy did I feel stupid. I was total dead weight on the "Sherman Thrill" team, which was one of 7 competing for the bar to pay our tab (up to $50). I don't remember the exact questions, but answers ranged from Grey Poupon to Ottoman to Gouda to James Monroe to Grant Wood to Rachel Alexandra. In the end, we lost by one point to some guys from Gnarwhal (Des Moines is such a small town!).

It was fun, but I hope I can contribute a little more next time and help us claim victory.

Anyone else do any quiz nights? I'm putting together a roundup on the site and have the one at the DMSC, Boston's and Champps. Am I missing anything?
