We won the Trivial Pursuit contest. I have to give it up to Pat from KY; he scored a solid 1/3 of the pie piece answers (dead man's hand and Mongolia). I did well, all modesty aside, but if I had to crown a MVP, I'd be lying if I didn't say it was Pat. I think I was responsible for 1/3 of the pie, too, but the ones I contributed to were pretty easy.
Not many people showed up; I'd say about 14 did. I'm guessing Ed will make a big deal of it tomorrow and more people will be prompted to come along.
Afterwards, we retired to Michael's room, with myself, Joe (WV), Jason (TX), Pat (KY), and (briefly) Frank (?). Frank looks just like JK Simmons. He's really cool. When he first met me, he said: "someone has been telling lies about you" and I was like "ah - the trial."
We talked about: rafting, hiking, video games, open v. closed worlds, Noam Chomsky, grammar, and parenting.
