Seattlest Trivia Wrapup

Seattlest James took a time-out from showering the Nickels administration with Gwen Stefani tickets and El Gaucho gift certificates to host the quiz last night at the Old Pequliar.

Nine teams took refuge from the sunshine and warm weather to sit in a dimly -- excuse us, atmospherically -- lit bar and answer 80 questions in an attempt to win money. It was an intimate turnout.

The winners? Freshly renamed The Origin of Spensor Bartleby (the team formerly known as Hüsker Don't) took first place with 68 points, followed by REO Speedwagon (skipping the EQC to come to the OP) and A Usable Amount of Cocaine (Laser Rocket Arms incognito). Anyone who can enlighten us about the origin of Spensor Bartleby will earn our undying gratitude.

Next week your host will be NAMBLA, the week after is Laser Rocket Arms, and after that comes Metblogs Naomi. Seattlest next hosts at the Old Pequilar on June 26 -- see you then!

Complete standings:
1) The Origin of Spensor Bartleby, 68 -- $65!
2) REO Speedwagon, 66 -- $20!
3) A Usable Amount of Cocaine, 61 -- $5!
4) Age and Treachery, 58
5) The Fuckin' As, 55
6) Zamboni, 54
7) Froggy Style, 46
8) Seek Medical Attention, 38
9) 30¢ a Pound, 37 -- swag!
