This is the location. Trivia should start around 9, so I say we start trickling in around 8 and we can have some time to hang out before we kick some trivia ass. Come one, come all!
but can you beat the prize for best name? huh? or THIRD place!!
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

I had to leave before the scores were announced, and nobody else who was there has checked in yet. I'm guessing there was further debauchery after I left...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
So, we should be looking for ND under the table, then?

I stayed until the scores were announced -- sadly, there were teams in this bar smarter than (or sober-er than) we Buffistas, and thus none of us won, or even placed. (Though we remain convinced that this happened ONLY because our powers were divided. The combined brains of nine Buffistas* working together surely would have been unbeatable.)
*technically, 8 Buffistas and ND's friend Dave. But Dave is clearly a Buffista spirit baby, and we accepted him as one of our own.
DH and I left around 11 because we both had work today (and see how busy I am? I barely have time to post...oh wait), but ND, Dave, Hil, Trudy, Megan Walker, and Kristin were all still going strong.

A huge thank you to the nyistas for including me in the festivities yesterday (and to Trudy for putting me up again)--I had more fun than it should be legal to have. Ever. Also, finally meeting Megan Walker (who is fabulous beyond words) and ND's friend Dave (who is definitely a Buffista spirit) was most excellent.
But...and I am ashamed to even admit this...I missed TWO LITERATURE QUESTIONS. I am so lame. SO LAME. I blame the red wine.
I rolled out of bed fairly early to catch a train back home this morning and am now snuggly back in front of a fire with DH, who is safely back from Iraq after the USO show.
Thank you everyone!
ETA: Oh, and I forgot to add my own little Christmas miracle to this--the reason I got to go down in the first place is that we had a snow day yesterday! I was supposed to be working Monday and Wednesday, but now I only have to work tomorrow and then a week and a half of vacation. Woo hoo!
Best snow day evah.

Hey Jon, do you still need me to send you money for the Illuminations Tour ticket, or were you able to find someone else to take it?

We're fine, Kate. VW and Nutty had gotten tickets for the wrong trolley, but then VW couldn't make it either. So Nutty got your ticket, and sold off the two extras she'd bought. I think. In any case, it all worked out.
By the way, thanks to everyone for coming on the tour. I agree with Nora that it's not the best way to really get a good look at the houses, but it's fun to go as a group, you help support the Arts Council, you learn stuff and hopefully I point out a few things you might not have otherwise noticed. It serves as a nice introduction. That's why we give out the maps -- so you can go back and get a better look at your favorites.
I'm glad a couple of people got my Bronski Beat joke. When I told the same joke on the second tour (where no one I knew was on board), I could hear crickets.
