Peace, Love and Trivia

It has been awhile

2008-06-26T15:51:00.000-07:00

Sorry to everyone for the extended absence of blogging. As everyone probably knows by now, I am no longer hosting Erika's Trivia at R.J. Gators. I will keep you updated on any new shows. Until then, I encourage you to check me out at Froggers in Oveido. Hope you see you soon!

Team I Don't Care

This is Boo Boo, aka Kitty, aka Precious, aka Babies, aka Aurora. I guess it depends on which roommate you ask.... She's probably very confused. Anyhow, this is the newest member of the trivia family. She likes taking naps, hiding under beds, and sitting on top of your labtop when you are trying to work.

This couple is not only happy because it's Valentine’s Day, but because they are walking out of Froggers with a twenty dollar bar tab. Great job! Thanks to everyone for playing and can't wait to see you back next Thursday at 8pm.

Another Cold Night....

Proving that is doesn't take a big team to win, Master Gators took home the big prize of the night; a $50 gift certificate to R.J. Gators.

The faithful bar patrons and the extremely helpful bartender. Not much more to say....

Holy Shirts and Pants (not pictured) won the first game with a perfect score of 10, the second game with a score of 8, and received second place in the third game for a total of $25 in bar tabs and a pitcher of beer to Froggers.

Holy Shirts and Pants were very close to sweeping everyone Thursday night and taking home first place in all three games. However, in the third game I gave an extra bonus point to any team who would come up front and show us their pirouetting skills. Team Community College Students Who Underestimated the Difficulty of a University (CCSWUDU) was among several team to step up to this challenge and it paid off for them. The one extra bonus point put team CCSWUDU ahead of everyone else and they took home an uncontested first place prize of $25.

I appreciate everyone coming out and I hope to see you at another edition of Erika’s Trivia very soon.

This Week in the World of Erika's Trivia

2008-01-31T19:43:00.000-08:00

Team Rival's (pictured below), won our first game of the evening. They told me they keep coming to Frogger becuase they like the waitresses' but I'm going to pretend it's becuase of me. :) Thanks guys for coming every Thursday and showing your support! The big winner of the night was team B.J.'s taking home a twenty dollar bar tab to Froggers. They were in contention every game and finally pulled out a victory for the big game. Great job, hope you see you three back at Froggers next Thursday.
As a little side note I want to mention my $50 winner from Monday night at R.J. Gators. It was really cold out so the team left before I had a chance to snap a picture but I want to give recognition to Gator Bait. They are long time supporters of Curtis Earth and I appreciate the support they show me as well. See everyone next Monday at R.J. Gators!

Peace, Love and Trivia!

Team Karen's Bit*hes was our big winner of the night, taking home a $20 bar tab to Froggers. It was also Karen's birthday (she's the one in the middle in white). Throughout the show they were taking lots of birthday shots and cheering their assorted drinks. By the end of the night, we had sung happy birthday and Karen lost her keys in the bathroom. Even with all this consumption of adult beverages they still manged to pullout first place. Good job guys!

I'm So Excited and I Just Can't Hide It....

I just spent a fabulous evening with Curtis Earth and friends playing trivia at O'boys in Winter Park. Although my team did not win at O'boys tonight, I did come home feeling like a winner. I can now say that Curtis Earth Entertainment L.L.C. and all his associates (i.e. me) are now proud sponsors of all Budweiser products. With this distinguished honor comes many perks. As you can see in the picture I now have very cool signs to put up at both my R.J. Gators and Froggers shows. Along with the new signage is new merchandise, i.e. new prizes for all! I have new hats, shirts, arm bands, water bottles, and more. I'm super psyched to be a part of the Bud family and happy to give my trivia supporters a chance to win some very cool merchandise. Hope to see everybody this Thursday at Froggers!

R.J. Gators

2008-01-21T20:21:00.000-08:00

Monday at R.J. Gators. It was good to see everyone again. Sorry I had to be gone last week. Thanks to everyone who still came to the show and supported my fellow trivia hosts Steadmen and Cornell.

To the left is Braintrust. They enjoy baseball questions, smoking cigars, and are the only team who come with blankets to my show. They are also the big winners of the night taking home a $50 gift certificate to R.J. Gators! Also noteworthy was their perfect score of 20 points in the second round. Great job!

Froggers

I had a great time last night! I want to thank Ryan and Kristen for coming and supporting me at my new show.

Our big winners last night were Holy Shirts and Pants taking home a $15 bar tab and Here for the Beer taking home a $20 bar tab. I'll give you three guesses which team is which :).

Good job everyone!

See everyone next week at Froggers or Monday at R.J. Gators!

Hard Knocks

2008-01-13T07:30:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went to this place call Hard Knocks. I wanted to tell everyone about it since it is in the area. I went with a group of about fifteen and we had a blast. It's kind of like laser tag but more advanced. There are different sized guns that are the true weight and size and you are put on teams to execute missions like diffusing a bomb or capturing the other teams flag. I would go again in a heart beat and definitely recommend it to everyone.

Mondays Show

2008-01-13T07:21:00.000-08:00

This Monday, 1/14/08, I will be out of town for a work conference. Even though I will not be there, I encourage everyone to still show up to R.J. Gators. Fellow trivia hosts Steadmen and Cornell will be filling in for me. They are great guys and I think you will enjoy there show. If you miss me I will be back for my Thursday show at Froggers so come out and see me there. Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

First Blogging Experience

2008-01-13T06:37:00.000-08:00

Well I finally did it. I have my own blog..... Well, as of now I have made an account and picked out a design for the blog, but I'm getting there.

Some things I plan on doing with this new blog include keeping all you trivia buffs up to date with what I'm up to, letting you know about any cancellations or changes from the norm, what teams have been winning, pictures of you all, and more.

Someone once told me "blogging is the new frontier." I don't know if I would go that far, but I do agree it's a good way to keep in touch and keep everyone informed.

I hope you enjoy my first blog ever, 'Peace, Love and Trivia'
