City Life

Last week, a few friends and I decided to finally go to trivia night at J&J's Books and Coffee (J&J's is half bar-half bookshop run by English-speaking expats, unclear why they leave the key bar component out of their name). We hardcore bombed. The categories were World Leaders, Music, Complete the List, and Famous Painters. We, uh, got 10/40 right. However!!! That put us solidly in the middle of the pack (so it really was quite hard). We can't even use the excuse of the pub quiz being about Spanish history/pop-culture, as it was at J&J's, the expat bar. Oh well.

At the very least, we got some good Irish cider and incentive to return (we must redeem ourselves, after all!).

Oh, and the best part about J&J's pub quizzes? You grade each other's answers then and there after all the rounds are finished. Our neighbors were especially creative, citing a Wheat Thins lover as the artist who painted Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. Snaps to them.
