Jun 18, 03:22 PM: Answer-of-the-Night
ATTENTION ALL TEAM TRIVIA PLAYERS!
Beginning July 1, the free Answer-of-the-Night will be posted a day ahead. For example, if you’re planning on playing on a Friday night, you will need to check the website on Thursday for that answer. This is in response to feedback we’ve received (on more than one occasion) that some people were looking up the free answer DURING the game, with the excuse that “it’s a free answer anyway!” This will prevent that from happening. You’ll still be able to get your free answer; you’ll just need to get it the day before … sort of like a morning radio contest in which you have to know a secret phrase given during a TV show the night before.
UPDATE!
Due to an unbelievable avalanche of negative feedback, the posting of the free Answer-of-the-Night a day ahead, which was to begin July 1, has been scrapped altogether. The Answer of the Night will continue as is. Please be aware that looking up the free answer after the game has started is prohibited, just as any usage of devices for the purposes of finding answers. The fact that so many of you wrote or called about this illustrates how many loyal players Team Trivia has, and we truly appreciate it!

May 27, 05:05 AM: Summer Trivia Schedule
I currently have 4 shows a week scheduled for this summer. they are…
- MONDAY (10:00 pm) at the Lion’s Den
- TUESDAY (8:00 pm) at Champs Sports Grill
- WEDNESDAY (7:00 pm) at the Dark Horse
- THURSDAY (8:00 pm) at Harry’s Grille up in Bloomsbug, PA.
Provided people turn out to play I don’t expect any cancellations until the break just before the fall semester. The 4th of July falls on a Saturday this year so I don’t think that will effect any of the shows.
I’m hoping to add at least 2 new shows over the summer so if you know a good place for trivia get in touch with me. Sundays are wide open right now, Monday I could do an early show (6 or 7pm), and Wednesday i could add a late show (10pm). Weekends are wide ope too but most location do enough business on Fridays and Saturday to not need things like trivia.
I’m also hiring! I need DJ/Game hosts and subs to work here in State College and in Bloomsburg. The Bloomsburg job is a great opertunity, Harry’s is an excellent show it self and we have serveral other place that would like to strt trivia but we don’t have anyone to do the shows. The first person I hire up there will have his choice of jobs as they come up, you could work as little or as much as you wanted.

Sep 26, 08:55 PM: Show ending (Q'Lube/SSRR)
Tonight is the last night for Sex, Sports, & Rock-n-Roll trivia at Quaker Stake & Lube. The regular show on Sundays at 8pm is sill on but after tonight there will be no Friday shows anymore. Its really too bad to since the G-Man doesn’t do trivia on home game weekends there will be no trivia on those Fridays at all now.
I’ll have to find a new show so stay tuned to this page or the Team Trivia PA blog for future announcements.

Jun 19, 04:18 PM: 6 days a week
You can now catch me 6 days a week hosting Team Trivia games!
- SUNDAY (8:00 pm) at Quaker Steak & Lube
- MONDAY (10:00 pm) at the Lion’s Den
- TUESDAY (8:00 pm) at Champs Sports Grill
- WEDNESDAY (7:00 pm) at the Dark Horse
- THURSDAY (7:00 pm) at the Rathskeller
- FRIDAY (10:00 pm) at Quaker Steak & Lube
- This our Sex, Sports, & Rock’n Roll show
Note that the shows are at different time each evening. Two are a little early 7pm, two are at the traditional time 8pm, and two are “late night” 10pm. If you can’t make it to one of these shows then you just don’t like trivia.
On July 10th I’ll open our first Bloomsburg PA show at Harry’s Grille. I’ll host this Thursday night at 8:00pm show myself for the first few weeks, just until we can hire and train a host for that area. I’m hoping to have 3-4 shows in that area by this fall so it would make a great part-time job for someone who lived up there. Let me know if you know anyone.
I’m also looking for a venue to host non-smoking Team Trivia. All of our current State College locations are great places to play Team Trivia and the only negative I ever hear is there are a few folks that would like a non-smoking venue. It will be a little tough to fit another show into our schedule but I think the right location would do very well advertised as ‘no smoking’. If you think of a good place let me know.

May 22, 03:12 PM: Stanley Cup backs Penguins
The NHL Stanley Cup final get underway this Saturday when my Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Detroit Redwings in Detroit. The Pens have had an incredible successful post season sweeping Calgary in the first round, then downing the NY Rangers and their captain, Jaromir Jagr, in just 5 games, and absolutely humiliating Philadelphia with a 6 goal shut out to win that series in game five.
I have a really good feeling about the rest of the playoffs, even the Stanley Cup wants the Pens to win.
Trivia Fans…
The cups finals will be on a Saturday-Monday-Wednesday schedule so there should not be any conflicts with Team Trivia (at least not my shows). Even Wednesdays at the Dark Horse should be OK, trivia starts at 7pm and game coverage doesn’t even start til 8 so I’m not sure when the puck will actually drop.
The photo is of Stanley Joseph Cup, age 59 of Saltsburg, PA a diehard Penguins fan. Bob sent me the article about him. Read more here.

Sorry guys, not show tonight at Champs. Game three of the Pens/Flyers series is on tonight same time we would normally have trivia. I hate missing trivia but I’m super happy for the Penguins.

May 7, 03:30 AM: New Show – the Dark Horse
I’m starting a new show today at the Dark Horse Tavern in downtown State College. The show itself is not new but the time is. My game will begin at 7:00pm which is an hour later than the old show, that’s why I had to take over for Trivia Gerry, he does the G-Man show that same night.
It should be fun! If you do come down enter from the Calder Way side not the Collage Ave. Be sure and get the MySpace answer from Trivia Steve’s blog before you head out.
