Observation: Seattlest James hosts trivia at the Old Pequliar on the first Tuesday of the month.

Seventeen teams showed up at the Old Pequliar last night to see if our voice would give out. We managed to get through the evening without having a Peter Brady moment, but we're grateful to those of you who were willing to step up to the mic at a moment's notice.

But if you can convince one to join your team, all the better.

There were, however, 3:10 to Yuma t-shirts, which we gave away in addition to the regular pile of swag. (That was Jack Daniels-themed this week. Congrats, Greendoggs.)

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.

It's Tuesday once again, which means it's Seattlest Trivia Night at the Old Pequliar in Ballard.

When we asked which Mariner hit the game winning home run on Opening Day in 1986 we felt we had come up with a question that would stump the room. However, when we saw that nearly half teams correctly answered Jim Presley we realized that we weren't the only ones to have their childhood ruined by the boys in blue and yellow.

That's the reason we're using Speakeasy right now to upload this post -- because Qwest, while in fact servicing the building we work in, does not realize that it services the building we work in. We tried to convince Qwest salespeople that they do, but they refused to believe it and transferred us to an engineer who could explain why they didn't. Researching, the Qwest engineer found out they did and offered to set us up, but then their phone system dropped our call and since we'd been transferred there, we had no way to get back. Enter Speakeasy.

If you're reading this at work, you're probably too late to...

Expect the usual: geography, movies, pictures, 3 tacos for $2, and mass chaos.

BASKETBALL: It's a battle for first place in Kingco's Mountain Division when Roosevelt hosts Redmond.

COMICS: Local cartoonist salon Friends of the Nib, founded by Jim Woodring, will create a work of narrative sequential art right before your eyes. You may purchase a copy of said art at the end of the evening.

Electrical Engineering.

Those hoping to win their way into some extra holiday shopping money must have pounded their heads against a table when they saw Husker Don't enter the Old Pequliar last night.
