Well... we've come to the end of an era. Last night at Submarine House was the farewell performance of Trivia Buff, as I pack up and head to Rochester next week. It was an amazing night! We had a packed house and almost all of our regulars were there. A special shout out to the teams that have been coming to Trivia Buff almost every week for the whole 6-7 years I've been doing this... Easy Does It, Enginerds, Tribetime, The Killer B’s, The Lost Skeletons, Throne of Lies, Miller Time plus our newer teams that have come almost every week we've been at Submarine House for over a year... Stitch's Crew, Scholp, Inc, Scotts Tots, House Party, Skrewball and SOOO many more!! It's been so much fun entertaining you and getting to know you. You've provided me with so many great memories. I'll miss you all very much and I wish you all the best in the future! Another special shout out to Jeremy, the owner, and his entire staff who absolutely rock and were such a blast to work with... you guys rock!!

I also had to share a picture of a couple of parting gifts. The Enginerds presented me with the Golden Microphone trophy for "World's Greatest Trivia Host" with the signatures of Enginerd's team members, both past and present, 3D-printed on the base (freakin' awesome!) as well as a Funko Pop figure of John McClane from Tribetime as a memento of our ongoing campaign to prove to the world that Die Hard is the greatest Christmas movie of all-time! Thank you!

Thank you all again for spending a few hours on Thursday nights with me so frequently for so long. I really will miss you and hope to bump into you on my visits back here. Until then, "have a great rest of the night, and be safe"!

Just a reminder that we have a double-dose of Trivia Buff this week, on Tuesday AND Thursday, as part of the Trivia Buff Farewell Tour! I'm relocating to Rochester, NY next week for my (real) job, so this is it! Can't wait to see y'all in person!

06/03/2020

As most of you know by now, I'll be relocating to Rochester, NY for my job in a few weeks. As a result, like many great empires throughout recorded history, the Trivia Buff empire is about to come to an end. While there will be no Trivia Buff this week in any form, we will be back LIVE and in-person for a 1-week, 2-night limited engagement @ Submarine House - Centerville next week. Hope to see you there!

I feel like the 1st edition of Virtual Trivia Buff may have been a pretty major success! Thanks to everyone for joining us (from at least 6 different states if not more)! We will do it again next Thursday, April 2nd at 7pm.

After reviewing with the official judges (it's really hard trying to keep up with that many comments), here are our final, mostly official, results:

1st Place: Killer B's - 69 pts
2nd Place: Stitch's Cres - 67 pts

Y'all are great! Thanks so much for your support! Stay safe and healthy and happy and I'll "see" you again next week!

Virtual Trivia Buff is coming this Thursday, March 26th @ 7pm on Facebook Live, right here at Trivia Buff - Dayton, OH!

This is a first (both virtual trivia and using Facebook Live), so hopefully things go smoothly. I'll be on camera reading each round of questions.You can print the official Trivia Buff answer sheets seen here or just jot your answers down on a pad of paper. At the end of the round, I'll read the answers and you'll have to score yourselves (we're using the honor system here... no prizes, so no reason to cheat). You can post your team name and scores in the comments (and whatever other snarky comments some of you are sure to have).

I've already heard of some folks who are planning on using Skype, Zoom or other video conferencing apps to have their team together "virtually"... sounds fun.

Can't wait to see how this goes... see ya' Thursday!

As you know, Trivia Buff is on a sad, but necessary, hiatus. Please continue to support Submarine House by using their delivery and carry out services. We'll all get through this and come back bigger and better than ever! In the meantime, I'm going to keep the movie memes coming. And since there are no prizes on the line, I might indulge in some slightly more obscure favorites of mine... like this amazing guilty pleasure from a simpler and less scary time. See the comments for some trivia questions. Y'all hang in there!

03/13/2020

Wasn’t sure what to expect but the Trivia Buff crowd turned out en masse tonight so thanks to all of you! And in a tightly contested battle, “Stitch’s Crew” turned the tables on “Tribetime” and won by a point! See y’all next Thursday!
