Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York.

Answers:

  1. Brian Wilson
  2. Glen Frey
  3. Pete Townshend
  4. John Fogerty
  5. Mick Jagger

I haven't done so great in this game or the others tonight. The scores are good in this game and for the first time we have seven playmakers and I'm in the middle of them against The Regulars with seven boards too. BERGIE Richard, KAV Keemo, ROCKET Robin, LEAFAN Jeff, GFOS ?????, MADDOG Bill, with Richard keeping a second board going as PRIEST when we realized there wasn't enough room for JPRIEST for Judas Priest. The Regulars are without Barry tonight.

My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp....5000/5000....1st/16...I win this round in a big group of 10. (BERGIE, LEAFAN, KAV and me in our group, the regulars KELLY, PHREDD, ROCKHD, ENIGMA, MOLSON and VIKING.
OnBeat...11500/14000...in a tie for 4th/16...MOLSON, VIKING, KELLY win round and have lead with 12750.
JukeBox...?????/20000...5th/16...BERGIE wins round and takes lead with 16739.
Triviaoke...23121/28000...4th/16...I win round and BERGIE holds lead with 24538.

We all risk 50% but I don't even think how all these choices may be related.

Question:...'Empty Glass' is the title of this solo album by ___________.

I don't even have time to read the whole question before Richard tells us the answer. Once I hear it I agree. I wonder later if I would have known it right off or thrown out one choice at a time until I have the best answer left. It is very appropriate that it's our first place guy who shouts out the answer first.

Correct Answer:...3 Pete Townshend.

I'm right and hold to 4th place with 34681 points. The bar finishes 3rd in North America with a 35042 average. I earn 3000+ Players Plus points by meeting the 12000 point standard. There are no rankings given in our bar but instead our finishing points are just requoted. Any you see here are just taken from the ntn.com site.

BERGIE wins with 36807 and finishes 10th on the Network Top 20 board. He also finishes 3rd in the bar's Hall Of Fame. He thought he knocked one of my scores out but I had knocked myself out of 10th in the last few months.

I'm on my way home before I realize that they asked another Pete Townshend question a few months ago. [actually on February 13th!].

Here's how our bar did:
Player...............pre-Encore...............Final............Rank...
BERGIE..............24538..................36807............16.....
KELLY.................23783..................35675............30.....
MOLSON.............23177..................34675............53.....
ROCKET..............23121..................34681...........57.....
VIKING.................22188..................33282...........87.....
ENIGMA...............22109..................33163...........91.....
IMSLOW...............21563..................32345...........
LEAFAN...............21554..................32331...........
GFOS....................21415.......x.........10707..........left before last question.
MADDOG..............21383..................32075...........
ROCKHD...............21193..................31789...........
KAV........................20906..................31359..........
PRIEST..................20538..................30807..........
PHREDD................20021..................30031..........
DAVE......................10914..................16371..........
BIKERC....................6269.......x...........3135...........

I was helped through the Wipeout and Sports games tonight by Richard and Jeff. I didn't make tonight's 9000 point standard in the Wipeout game. I had something like 1300 points after five questions. I'll try to get here 10 minutes early next week to answer one question and earn 500+ Players Plus points to even up missing this.

Other games:
8:00pm...Countdown...11941/15000...1st/10...I don't catch my NA ranking...bar is 52nd in North America...1000+ Players Plus points.
