Last night at the Ritz 180 maniacal trivia buffs watched a showdown between Austin's top two video-stores: I Luv Video and Vulcan Video.
Zack and I wrote the questions and hosted. Categories ranged from APES APES APES to WAYANS BROTHERS and to all points in between, though the MUSICALS ABOUT NEWSBOYS category was probably a bad idea.
The score was tight throughout and it came down to a 50 to 49 point win for I Luv Video. Everyone had a blast and a few beers were consumed (we actually ran out of Lone Star). It was the most fun I've ever had with a burgundy polyester suit on.
Feel free to go congratulate the I Luv crew or razz the Vulcan guys but both teams have asked that they not be exposed to any bright light or loud noises for at least the next two days.

I was there. It was fun. I don't even know anyone at either store and wanted to show up for the spectacle of it all.
I thought that the questions were really well written, the categories were very funny, and Zack and Lars were great hosts.
And I don't normally gush at all.
Damn that Lost in Translation quote controversy - Vulcan would have cinched it!
And Philip Seymour Hoffman WAS butt naked in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. Just saying...
