Neat. :) Sounds like fun.

Relatedly, I should learn to be so brief. XD

It was a lot of fun!

Hahaha, I'll post a longer update, with pictures, later. :)

The other two Buffy/Angel people were Elizabeth Rohm who played Kate Lockley in AtS Seasons 1 and 2 and Ken Feinberg who played the Chaos Demon in the BtVS episode "Crush."

I figured that she was in the earlier seasons of Angel, since I never got around to watching those. She was very funny though, and kinda hot (I can say this because I am secure in my sexuality).

Star Wars trivia (I did not win. We will not talk about this.)

Some of us weren't able to make Trivia this year (obviously...) and expect details to be shared! It's up to you if you want to omit anything particularly embarrassing, but I'd at least love to hear a general report of it. Rumor had it both Tim and Mike had to cancel, so it lost it's priority standing in my book.

Tim wasn't there, but Mike was.

I thought it was poorly organized. First they wanted us to fill up all the seats in the first two rows. Then they wanted us to shift to the left as we answered questions correctly. It got very tiring after awhile, obviously, so we just kept our places and stood up to answer the question.

They started out with easy questions, which were pretty easy. Then medium questions, which I thought were also medium. Then they got to the hard questions, amd Smitha and I got the first two questions which were REALLY hard. Mike saw his question and his mouth dropped open, and was like, "NO way is anyone going to answer this!" Of course, it was my question, which was "What where the names of the announcers from TPM?" Of course I've forgotten a lot of TPM stuff, and it's not in the movie so I couldn't think of the dialogue. I was really close, but I was wrong. Of course the rest of the questions were pretty easy. Philip was gloating because he got through the next two or three rounds and Smitha and I were out. :p However, I called bullshit because on one question he gave an answer and then changed it, and someone yelled out the correct answer. He claims he didn't hear it, but I still don't think he should have been able to change it. Yes I am bitter, especially since I knew most of the harder questions, including the winning question. Oh, well. Next year I will try again!
