Try Trivia Nite You Mite Like It-I Did

You might be surprised to know there's a trivia night taking place in your local town.  I was.  I was also thinking it might be fun to try it with a few friends.  (Pssst..."Friends" is a good guess in Trivia if your theme is the 90s).   I asked a couple friends if they were interested in checking it out with me.  Trivia night in our Sonoma town was at one of the tasting rooms.  There were plenty of wine to get those brain cells flowing.  I was the driver.  Next time, I'll leave the driving to someone else.  Perhaps, a glass of wine might've sparked the brain to gain more answers.  It couldn't of hurt. Our team name is MindFull.  Clever, yes?  Too bad points aren't awarded for best team name.  We went back in time for the evening to the 90s.  There were 4 rounds of 10 questions.  Each team turns in their written answers.  No shouting out answers or multiple choices.  The first round was a potpourri of pop culture and historic figures.  Do you remember the group who gave us the Macarena or who the first female Sec. of  State was.  The second round were photos of 10 movie posters from the 90s.  You needed to name the film.  Not easy.  Our MindFul trio had fun trying to solve the titles from the pictures.  The third round were specific questions about celebrity movie stars, sports figures and icons of the 90s.  The fourth and final round was an audio round which proved the most intriguing and perplexing.  Name the TV sitcom from the theme song played.  Could you identify "The Full House" or "Twin Peaks" themes.  We got one of the two, (yay).  We were successful in guessing at least 3/10 for each round.  Guessing is what we mostly did and mostly got wrong.  But, it was entertaining putting our heads together trying to come up with the correct answer.  We often settled for a humorous guess we hoped might pan out.  Our charming host for the evening, James, laughed reading out some of the incorrect but interesting answers.  If there were points awarded for the ones James thought were funniest, our team would've been deemed more mindful than senseless.  Nonetheless, it was a high spirited event mixed with good spirits and friends.  "That'sSoRaven" team was the 1st place winner and the team with adults and pre-teens.  "Whats4Dinner" came in 2nd.  Both were awarded prizes.  Don't take yourself too seriously and you're guaranteed a winning night.  By the way, do you recall what the biggest box office film of the 90s or what was the 1st reality TV show?  Well, you may just need to know.
