I just got back to NYC from a lovely weekend in Connecticut (wasn't that a Christmas movie?), hosting a very special BQT fund-raiser event for the Ivoryton Library Association, at the impressive and historic Ivoryton Playhouse (quite the serious New England theater). It was an excellent crowd: 150 smart people heavy into the competition, laughing at every joke, and appreciative of quality trivia. (That's the way. I like it.) Despite very close competition leading up to the end, the winning squad, Team Fabulous (consisting of a bunch of local teachers), took the prize in a quick Three-Way Finale: "What 1889 comic novel, with Connecticut in its title, features a protagonist who is known as 'the Boss'?" and "What Japanese word, well known in English, translates to 'empty orchestra'?"
And what a prize: They got custom-made Ivoryton Big Quiz Thing T-shirts and a massive, elephant-adorned trophy (the elephant is the mascot of the Playhouse; I know I should've included those questions about musth).
