Trivia plans next week are to play Monday at Sticks, where we are currently in the lead with 636 points after five games (second place team has 554 points) – and possibly play a second game Wednesday at The Owl. I have to work Friday, so a 9 p.m. Thursday night game at Sticks won’t work this week…

On Saturday, I will be joining a friend’s team in a MTL semifinal game at Walter’s Bar in Romulus. I don’t believe I’ve ever set foot in Romulus on purpose – which means I’ve never driven there as a “destination.” Wait…hold the phone – I did drop off a friend at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport once (which is located in Romulus) – and picked up my parents there once. And I know some folks who visited the Landing Strip Lounge before, though I’ve never been there. It’s a topless bar, and “landing strip” doesn’t mean what you think it might mean (wink-wink). All I know about the place is from what a couple of friends told me, that the girls “are better than the ones at Deja Vu.” Also, it’s not a full “nudie” joint because they serve booze. Don’t ask me how all of this works…but from what I’ve heard, if a bar is “full nude,” you can’t serve alcohol. But if they serve alcohol, they can’t be “full nude.” Honestly, I don’t even know if I’m getting all of this right…

No, I don’t plan to visit The Landing Strip after my trivia game! Besides, it’s out of the way, anyway.

As always, I put our chances of advancing to finals as being 50-50. I never like to go into these things with TOO much confidence! It will all boil down to the final question – and not screwing up too many regular round questions along the way!
