We were missing a couple key teammates but we did have a great sub to cover for Anita. After the Geek Bowl (a super, super overdue story), our team (let&#8217;s go with Team Hacker-Wilder) hasn&#8217;t really played much. I&#8217;ve been pre-occupied with getting my D&amp;D back on and the recent Calder Cup run. Pablo has been touring (he&#8217;s in a band). Anita and Consuelo visited their parents. The big\u00a0delay after hockey though was\u00a0<em>Game of Thrones\u00a0<\/em>which ended its current season last week. (I have no opinion of the show, I am curious yet I already know the key spoilers, I think.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sunday evenings are tough. Black Star Coop is the only gig currently. Past locations gave up and I didn&#8217;t care for them much; Strange Brew was too far away, some Mexican restaurant was lame; and the Highball remains under construction. The joint was a mess. There was a\u00a0charity match, a slug of hipsters and noisy children. BSC doesn&#8217;t adjust its AC accordingly neither. I do hope the Highball returns soon so our annoying nemesis goes elsewhere. I don&#8217;t mind\u00a0losing to Bobby and his ringers, I just find the un-funny-trying-to-be topical names insipid. Ken described them even better, they&#8217;re Dennis Miller wannabes who are even less funny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We have maintained our skills. We were leading in first all the way to the last round. We aced the Casey Kasem part, music was ugly on one song (let&#8217;s hear it for me knowing my Rilo Kiley!), T\/F about Animals (blech), aced the visual, the movie audio was spotty and the screaming yard apes didn&#8217;t help and I think we fared decently on the random knowledge. Second place isn&#8217;t a bad result when\u00a0you&#8217;ve had mental atrophy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Next week, we&#8217;ll be honing our brains further to get some more first-place victories. A co-worker got me hooked on Quizup for my iOS gear to practice on.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a bittersweet homecoming for our Geek Who Drink team.
