our trivia team (eric, laurel, demian, emily, marta, and i), splinter cell, had our best finish to date at dexter's pub's trivia night. we were in first place the whole night, but then fell into third when we missed the final question.
- q: what is the most populace u.s. state capital?
i take most of the responsibility for leading us astray on the final question. why did i think flagstaff was the capital of arizona? next week, we will be back, looking to improve our standing even more, and it looks like the first pitcher will be free. you know the saying, "to the 3rd place finisher goes the spoils."

Apparently, the Trojan Whores had the same internal struggle (Flagstaff vs Phoenix), so they went with Denver. Little consolation, I know.
Good job!
Good luck next time. I cant imagine a smarter bunch than you'all. I also remember on Monday night football someone saying that Indianapolis is the largest US city without a navigable waterway.. I recently found out that is also not true and the answer is none other than Phoenix...although Indianapolis still claims this prize.
i'm always quoting that statistic about indianapolis being the largest u.s. city without a navigable waterway. phoenix gets me every time. damn you phoenix!
Wow, turns out Pheonix is the 2nd largest city in the Western US after LA. Its bigger than San Jose and San Diego and Seattle and Denver and San Francisco. Hmmm...I have never given that city more than a second thought, despite the fact they named their airport a "Sky Harbor."
Awesome.
if nick reiter was given the opportunity to name an airport, i think he would call it a "sky harbor," or maybe something even better. i'm just putting that out there.
stupid Phoenix.....the last time we were there, I remember it felt like hell on earth at noon-time and we froze to death at night. Not my favorite spot on the planet.
