Normally, Seattlest Trivia is the first Tuesday of the month. But there was apparently an election that day (no spoilers! We're 5 episodes behind) and everyone in the city was either glued to a TV set with their family or mafficking on First Avenue, so there was no trivia. more ›

And for answering one trivia question ahead of time, your team could win a free pitcher of beer: more ›

Yes, it's the second Tuesday of the month, but it's Seattlest Trivia night nonetheless. more ›

Why? For one thing, you could win a free pitcher of beer--cool, refreshing beer--if you come in fourth place at half time. (Such a useful brain!) Or if you can answer this trivia question: more ›

We were at trivia Tuesday night—playing, not hosting—plowing our way through the audio round. more ›

First things first: Much to our own surprise, the [edit: second] most populous city in Eastern Washington (which is everything east of the Cascades, people; it's in Wikipedia, so it must be true) is Spokane Valley. more ›

Seattlest has heard good things about the All-Star Pop Culture quiz at Jillian's ever since it started up. We still haven't had a chance to check it out—Tuesday's our regular trivia night, even when we're not hosting. But since the spring season kicks off tonight, we did the next best thing: interviewed Trevor Trifiro, the brains behind the quiz. more ›

It's the first Tuesday of the month, which means it's time to slip your brain into first gear and head to the Old Pequliar for Seattlest Trivia. You'll win cash if your team takes first, second, or third place, or you'll get swag if you win the battle for the bottom. more ›

We have it on good authority -- namely, the UnSpun list of Best Pub Quizzes in Seattle, which we created last week and which has been voted on by a whopping 4 people -- that the quiz at the Old Pequliar is the 9th best trivia quiz in Seattle. more ›

Cooper's quiz is scheduled for 8:45 Tuesday nights, though last night's kicked off at 9:00. It's 40 questions, uncategorized. Teams trade answer sheets for scoring. After about 15-20 minutes the host announces results. That's a longish delay, but it's a well-paced quiz overall. more ›

Local filmmaker, occasional pub trivia host, and friend of Seattlest Dom Zook blogged on September 19 that he's moving to LA.

I’ve been a stalwart Seattle fan for most of my adult life. I love this town, even though some of the people who govern it are slightly “challenged”. I love making movies in this town… but I think I’ve gone in depth about my issues here. Many have wondered why I’ve stayed so long in a town that’s only moderately supportive of its filmmakers. Why I’ve stayed in a town where actual, paying film gigs are about as scarce as tumbleweeds on Pike St. Why I’ve stayed for nearly five years at a job that’s been both good and bad to me just so I could make movies in this town.

If you scroll back through the last couple of years’ worth of posts you’ll see the trials and tribulations. I did it all. Cast negotiations, legal paperwork, business plans, investor talks, budget write-ups, etc. And frankly I had a great plan with a fantastic script (written by Faye Hoerauf and Jessica Baxter) and I knew it would be a hit. Modest hit, maybe, but a hit. Unfortunately no one was buying. No one of influence believed the script would go far. Despite at least one major name in the cast and several more just waiting for an investor to come forward, despite several awards for the script alone, despite a rock-solid business plan with proven talent (and I’m not even talking about me, Faye or Jessica here!), we were denied. more ›

Tuesday night Seattlest won $35 playing pub trivia at the Boxcar Ale House in Magnolia. And we earned every goddamn penny -- it was a brutal slog of an evening. "I'm about to get stabby," said one of our teammates at about 9:50, when it was clear that we weren't getting out of there anytime soon. more ›

Unlike rock gods, athletic heroes, or Warren Beatty, quiz hosts don't get groupies. (Not that we'd do anything with groupies, thoughts of our wife prompt us to add.) more ›

More details? We're hosting the pub quiz tonight at the Old Pequliar in Ballard. It is our sincere hope and belief that this week's quiz is easier than the last time we hosted, but we could always be rudely surprised, we hope. more ›

MUSIC: Deerhoof. Some have dismissed Deerhoof as bland or simply weird. Others praise the complex composition of their songs. We just think they're good. more ›

Unless a sudden, savage blizzard strikes in the next couple of hours -- unlikely -- Seattlest trivia will proceed as planned tonight at Ballard's Old Pequliar pub. more ›

Electrical Engineering. more ›

Though they promised to be there, Husker Don't was not among the teams playing the pub quiz at the Old Pequliar last night. Once again, their absence was greeted with applause as a Winchell's dozen of other teams realized their chances to win the big bucks had just improved. more ›

Best thing we learned at last night's quiz: Gabriel Garcia Marquez looks like "Agatha Christie on a bad day." more ›

We showed tonight's quiz to our resident almost-genius (and sometime quiz host) Seth, who declared that at least one round was "really painful -- I'd have gotten a zero." more ›
