Wednesday Night Trivia at Kilo Bravo, September 7

Update: I won’t be able to host trivia tonight because I came down with a bad cold. I’ll be there next week, though.

~~Tomorrow night, I’ll be hosting Wednesday Night Trivia at Kilo Bravo, located at 180 N. 10th St in Williamsburg, on Wednesday nights starting at 8:30 PM.~~

My friend Mike Q works the bar during the night and contributes a bunch of questions, usually with decadal themes such as 1990s fashion, 1990s music, 1980s movies, and 1970s sports.

My own contributions include current events of the past week and a picture round to identify something I put on the TV screens at the bar. You can see last week’s questions, below!

Come out with a team, join one, or play solo. It is half-price chicken wings until 10:00, and there are prizes:

$25 bar tab for the first-place team

$15 bar tab for the second-place team

a round of shots for the third-place team

~~The fun starts at 8:30. Hope to see you there!~~
