trivia today

So we qualified for teh trivia semi-finals today, which were held at Bamboozle's in dearborn @ 11am.

After a quick breakfast at Big Boy we went and played. And we qualified at the end to move on to the finals (which is a big deal....last time we qualified for the semis we didn't make it to the finals)

The finals were @ US-12 in Wayne. There were 35 teams there total. They fed us and the game started around 3:30pm.

It was pretty cool all in all. But in the end we failed to answer the final question correctly, combined with the wrong answers all thru the game, and we ended up betting it all at the end and lost.

There's always next time. For my team anyway. If i start working for mytrivialive I can't play in the tournaments anymore. But I can still play each week ^_^
