Encore Question of June 1st, 2002.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with Rob COSMO and Sean METLCA with one of them working the CAPER board. Anyway we've got our five boards in the top positions.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/12...My two boards share lead with COSMO. .........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/12 OnBeat...ROCKET...11500/14000...1st/12...My two boards win round with METLCA and CAPER. ........LITBOX...11500/14000...7 right and 2 wrong. JukeBox...ROCKET...16763/20000...1st/12...ROCKET wins round. .......LITBOX...16702/20000...2nd/12. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22849/28000...4th/8...COSMO wins round. ..........LITBOX...22776/28000...5th/8.
We're all above 20000 which means it's been a good game so far. Now to try for the Encore with no book for the first time in years! No more book after last week's frustration.
Encore Question:...It's the title of a tender 1998 ballad from Sarah McLachlan.
.
.
Is that it? In one of those great moments, the background music in the bar right at this moment is Sara's "I Will Remember You". We all know this. I've been a fan since her second album and now have all her albums. I don't think we'll move up on this gimme.
Correct Answer:...2. Angel
[NTN Extra Fact:...It was the biggest hit from her multi platinum album "Surfacing"]
I'm right and hold my position. I finish 14th with ROCKET at 34273 and 15th with LITBOX at 34164 in all North America. The bar is 3rd in North America with a 34483 average. (I guess that Encore was difficult for non fans). I earn 3000+ Players Plus points for meeing this week's 18000 point standard. COSMO wins.
