Freakshow Trivia
Share
In my years of producing "trivia night", I have found that the more people interact, the more enjoyable they find the event. It's not a difficult concept, but it is one that I have noticed many other "pub quizzes" seem to have forgotten, or perhaps didn't consider an important element. I have never understood the idea of going out to a bar or pub, sitting there with an electric box in front of you
Blackfriar Pub Lakewood
4 teams on my penultimate trivia….Blackfriar Pub Lakewood 😞
Well, freaks...the time has come again. I'm hangin' up the mic and walking slowly into the solar eclipse with my eyes wide open. October 26th will be my final trivia at Blackfriar Pub Lakewood. It has been a wonderful year getting to know a new batch of wonderful meatsacks, but I feel like this chapter has come to an end.
About 3 years ago I packed it in because of COVID. A part of me hoped I would be back some day yet another portion was ready to move on from the bar life. "Retirement" was forced on me so I never got a sense of closure. I had hoped to return only doing 1 night a week at a location of my choosing. A place where I didn't have to apologize or prove the worth of what I had been doing for 20 years. Mick Jagger had it right: "You can't always get what you want...but sometimes...you get what you need."
When Kevin Bartley reached out over a year ago and asked if I knew anyone who could host a trivia night, my ego jumped up and said "No...but maybe I could."
Kevin was the exact type of GM I wanted to work with. Someone who "got it" and knew what Freakshow Trivia is. I missed entertaining people. I missed the connection. I thought I needed it.
So I gave it a year and, in that time, I got to meet a new family of freaks. I'm glad I did it.
I don't know what the next version of trivia will be at Blackfriar Pub Lakewood but I want you to remember what you have help to build on Thursday nights...a family of freaks! Keep going. Keep having fun. Keep being a sarcastic, unapologetic, witty, good-humored, ball-busting, loyal group of jackasses!! That place (and the world) needs you in it.
Finally...I want to thank all of you! From 89 Man Marchers (day 1) to This Team Sucks and all the insanity between, the badass staff, and to the management, thank you for letting me be me and do what I do!
Trivia before the Stars Blackfriar Pub Lakewood…if you don’t show up…they will lose and I will go down to the AAC and give every fan your home address 🤡
