My Sunday Night

Almost every week I get off of campus and head up to Adam's Morgan.  The neighborhood is what you would call the "hipster" part of town.  There is a falafel, fast food place, coffee shops, hemp stores, and plenty of bars/clubs in between.  You may ask why I choose to go here on a Sunday rather than a Friday/Saturday....

TRIVIA!!  Every Sunday at 8pm my boyfriend, a few of his friends, and I stake our claim at Bedrock Billiards as team Awesome Sauce!  In fact we have won every week in 2011 so far, we are on a roll!  Now there are plenty of places that play trivia in the District.  Tonic, a restaurant right on campus, has trivia Monday nights.  Marshall's, about a 10 minute walk, is Wednesday.  However, Bedrock has the best!  Here's the set up...

There are 5 rounds.  All have different categories.  For example, recent rounds have been sports, food, Pee Wee Herman, local politics, company beginnings...I think you get the picture.  Generally 3 are just spoken questions.  The host asks the question, the team writes the answer, simple enough.  But then there are the other 2 rounds.  One is the visual round.  A sheet of paper is given to every team with pictures on it and you have to write a specific piece of information.  Past categories have been famous dogs, logos, mascots, famous noses (this was by far the hardest one I have seen), and metro maps.  The last type of round, which is usually the hardest, is the music round.  The hosts play a clip of a song and you usually have to give the name, artist, and sometimes year.  These rounds have included songs with the word "last" in the title, animal bands, rock ballads, and sampled songs.

The winner of the night gets $50 off their tab for the night!  It is a great way to take a break from a day full of work and learn a bunch of miscellaneous knowledge!

To my fellow bloggers: what are your weekly traditions??
