Bored on a Tuesday?

Hmm, so all this talk about music and no talk about bars yet. Someone has to be first I guess.

The Flying Saucer in Sundance Square hosts a trivia night every Tuesday night around 8 (technically they say it starts at 8ish). Having once been a regular at this event I can say from experience that if you ever feel the need to flex your useless knowledge muscle then this is the place in which you are looking.

Do you know what famous rocker's wife Eric Clapton had an affair with?

Do you know what Seattle Seahawk linebacker won the first Bednarik award?

Do you know the only plant eating member of the group Carnivora?

If you answered any of these three questions then you're fit for this night. Now aside from feeling an inflated since of pride from answering useless trivia you can also win free beer. Yes, you heard me free...beer...free. If you manage to know more than other teams in the bar then you win a gift certificate (for the Saucer of course). The game is split up into three rounds. That means three chances at at least $10 in free beer. If you are really on top of your game the entire night and manage to outscore the other teams then you win a $25 gift certificate on top of other winnings. Tie breakers are dealt appropriately with a chug off so be sure to bring your specialist.

The way it works is as follows:
1.) Gather a group of friends who have a certain affinity for trivia or beer
2.) Show up at the Flying Saucer around 8 pm
3.) Drink $2.50 Fat Tire all night (the same amount as you would pay for some other slop and foam at some of the other more popular Fort Worth night spots).

The night usually concedes around 10:30 or so allowing you to either retire to your bed in defeat or continue your night (Fox and Hound has their draft night on Tuesday nights meaning $2.00 drafts).

See you guys there. If you're looking for a team just find me; I'm always up for new members to Team Zissou.

Dave, I love it. And way to break the bar barrier. It was time.
