I wouldn't call driving through the desert in August "fun," but I didn't have enough airline points to fly.

I'll be arriving in time for Thursday night's festivities (except with my luck my flight will probably be delayed) and will be there until Monday morning.

I can't wait to see everyone there!

I just looked at the 5x5 schedule. I lucked out in not having to play Mr. 168/500 Questions. *whew*

I am on in the 10:30 AM Friday pool. I face off against my scavenger hunt partner, Hari, and other board luminaries and former J! champs. I am going to get killed. ;) But have fun, right?

I think Yogesh is the best player in our group at the moment...so "lucky" may not be quite accurate.

I am currently trying to move so I can play the scavenger hunt though.

Huh. Looks like I never have to move from my seat, while you hop from room to room like the Energizer Bunny. :)

I don't know if it is on the official schedule, but several TCONA attendees from O'Briens Pub Quiz in Santa Monica are collaborating on a special O'Bs Pub Quiz on Saturday night after the regular program. We will post the photo of the winning team (with the famous fez) on our photo stream. If you have questions, find Jerome Vered or Pam Mueller.

FYI, here is the photo of last year's winners - https://www.flickr.com/photos/pubquiz/14893474472

Fun! I'll have to see if I Can't Believe It's Not Rutter wants to play. If not, I'll be looking for a team.

There's a "team trivia championships" on Saturday night's program. Is that the one you mean?

Hmm. Could be. What time is the "team trivia championships" on the program? Jerome said that the pub quiz will probably start around 11:30, after the regular program is over.

The current game schedule says that I get to play Paul Paquet, who is apparently the proprietor of the Trivia Hall of Fame, in my second game. The player list, however, shows him to have been moved to the newly formed Session 6. I may have dodged a major bullet there.
Sprinkles are for winners.
