Mac's the Mack (of Industrial Sports Bars)

Steve — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:12:54 +0000

Thanks for having me for a sweet night of trivia at Mac's Industrial...last Thursday. Sorry for the mondo late post - but these trivia tacticians deserve some digital limelight.

Game One

Give some love to 1st place team El Tigre!

The leader of the notorious El Tigre posse claims this is just a lil facepaint from a company picnic at Como Zoo...but I know damn well it's permanent.

2nd goes to Charley's Demons!

Here are the back of their softball jerseys. They actually look more foxy than demonic. I guess if you're gonna be plagued by demons, they ought to be easy on the eyes. Nice work, Charley.

3rd goes to The Persian Monks!

Thanks for taking a break from your cloistered existance to score some DQ burgers!

Game Two

The champs of game two are these Carl Sagan fans - Billyons & Billyons!

Or maybe it's more specific: eating Funyons while watching episodes of Cosmos. Now that's a night!

2nd went to regulars Red Balls are Better than Blue Balls!

And Tyrone from The Chappelle Show agrees!

3rd went to Frank's Fiesta Date Night!

Letting other's encroach on your date night pays off!

And 4th goes to Awesome Hobos!

An awesome duo, and a redundant name.

Blake will be back in the driver's seat next Thursday...see ya around Mac's!

6/3 Lakers Take Game 1 Trivia

Blake — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:24:29 +0000

Trivia at Mac's just keeps getting better. It seemed a little slow when I walked in the door, but a cavalcade of trivia stars trickled in right behind me. Lots of familiar faces and some new gunslingers like your 8 p.m. 29/30 scoring winners, Rue the Day. This is a force to be reckoned with.

At ten we had a hobo celebrating a birthday and some very drunk and sassy blueballers. It was an awesome night all around. Thanks to Mac's, Half Price Books, and Dairy Queen. See you next week.

Your Winners:

8 p.m.

First Place: Rue The Day

Second Place: Whatcha' Talkin' 'bout Merkin

5/27: 2 home run trivia

Blake — Fri, 28 May 2010 15:13:05 +0000

The Mac's crowd is starting to resemble Lakers' fans at Staples Center: late-arriving and good looking. I was a little worried it was going to be a slow night, but ultimately we had the best 10 p.m. crowd in months. And they were rowdy - I'm talking to you Take Cover. Anyway, it was a great time and we got an awesome new sponsor in Dairy Queen. Sweet.

Your Winners:

8 p.m.

First Place: Red Balls Are Better Than Blue Balls
Second Place: $25 drum lessons
Third Place: British Petroleum

10 p.m.

First Place: Red Balls are Better than Blue Balls
Second Place: Take Cover

Thanks to Mac's and Dairy Queen. See you next week!

5/20 Steamy Night Trivia

Blake — Fri, 21 May 2010 21:44:26 +0000

It was a hot night in Minneapolis and that might have kept the crowd size down a bit, but we still had an awesome time. This week's 8 o'clock quiz was way, way tough. I was really impressed with you guys. Supreme Court Justices are not very photogenic or necessarily recognizable.

Those of you who hung out for the late quiz caught a bit of a break, but it was still no walk in the park.

Your Winners:

8 p.m.

First Place: Jerry the Bum Steers the Pedal Pub
Second Place: Red Balls are Better than Blue Balls
Third Place: Bella Lana

10 p.m.

First Place: Hydra Coils Upon This Wicked Mountain
Second Place: Panic
Third Place: Super Hobos

Thanks to Mac's and Half Price Books! See you next Thursday.
