Tonight was the eagerly anticipated Jean Vanier Fund Raising Trivia Night. What a night!
A plethora of firsts for me this evening. Trivia nights are very close to my heart for a number of reasons and I have dabbled in many a pub quiz over the
years.. but Anna ( The triumphant host and trivia goddess ) pulled out all the stops in putting together this event. Over 100 people attended with 15 teams of eager folk chomping at the bit and ready to claim the number one prize: To become Trivia Champions!
The event was held at the Royal Collingwood Legion and on realizing I had no idea how to get there, I was told to 'look out for a large army tank'.. an unusual thing to try and find in the suburbs of Collingwood... needless to say, this advice was accurate.
The evening attracted guests from far and wide, including the wonderful Marc, Darren's best mate, who had travelled all the way from PANAMA to attend.
The omnipotent Aaron ( King of all things trivia and host of the 'never to be missed' Wednesday Trivia Night at the Admiral's Post) took the helm as quiz master, newly equipped with power point presentation and hoisted up on the stage. The format was as per usual: Five question rounds, two quick fire beer rounds, a music round and the final jeopardy question. The theme was ' School' with all money collected going towards projects at Jean Vanier (http://jvh.ycdsb.ca ) where Anna is a teacher.
Our team ( The Brothers and Sisters of Captain Khaos) was strong and on form, the members being Dale, Marc, Dave, Nadia, Karla, Darren and I. 'Man of the Match' goes to the brilliant Darren, who not only stepped up with 'Hawaii' and ' Delorian' but nailed the final jeopardy question which catapulted us into a tie in first place. It was a brilliant night, Anna, it was a triumph, cant wait for the next one!
And for any trivia enthusiasts out there... (and without checking google please... ):
What is the word for the number that has 100 zeros...??
