Encore Question of November 1st, 2003.
Played at the Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing Playback with my two boards all alone. There aren't many people in the bar at all. A couple gets two playmakers and starts playing about halfway through the TuneUp round.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/4...my two boards win round...one guess to get a perfect round. ...........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/4. OnBeat...ROCKET...11000/14000...1st/4...my two boards win round. ..........LITBOX...11000/14000...1st/4. 6 right and 3 wrong and one of my rights was a guess. Mostly new album questions. JukeBox...ROCKET...15363/20000...2nd/4...TANYA wins round. ...........LITBOX...15387/20000...1st/4...I got outvoted on one of the categories I wanted. Ties go to the number '2' in deciding what question gets asked. Triviaoke...ROCKET...21054/28000...2nd/4...TANYA wins round. ...........LITBOX...21062/28000...1st/4...I took one -250 and one right for 50 points but ended up with almost the same score as last week.
Now the Encore answers come up. I should be able to get this but it could be tough as they could ask anything.
Encore Question:...Who helped usher in the new wave invasion with the 1975 album "Horses"?

I don't know this but it should be easy to eliminate what I know about the other artists. Before the answers come back I eliminate the Sex Pistols who only ever had one album (Never Mind The Bullocks...). I've got Greatest Hits packages of Billy Idol and The Pretenders with listings "from the album..." for each song. I don't think its The Ramones because I'd have read that over the years. The only Patti Smith album I know is "Easter" but that was much later. Still I'm sure it's Patti Smith. I've still got 20 seconds left but am frozen to my seat because I'm not absolutely sure so don't offer my answer to the couple about 20 feet away.
Correct Answer:....4. Patti Smith
[NTN Extra Fact:...It included covers of "Gloria" and "My Generation".]
Another one of NTNs first song/album of someone-who-will-be-famous-later questions (like last week). TANYA said later they didn't have a clue for the Encore so I guess I should have gone over and offered them my choice.
I'm right and win with LITBOX with 31593. I finish 423rd in North America. I earn 3000+ Players Plus points for meeting this week's standard of 18000. The bar finishes 1204th in North America. (ntn.com moved the bar up to 138th of 1864 bars with a 14445 average).
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank LITBOX 21062 31593 423 86 ROCKET 21054 31581 427 87 TANYA 13269 x 6635 7988 3476 MO 4833 x 2417 9267 6608 ntn.com lists 8554 players
Other games:...I start the evening with 2,757,000 for ROCKET and 576,500 for LITBOX.
7:30pm...Countdown...ROCKET...861/15000...1st/1...500+ points...I'm 9343rd in NA...bar is 2657th...I'm here in time for the last question.
8:00pm...Countdown...ROCKET...12350/15000...1st/2...1000+ points...I'm 1067th in NA...bar is 1603rd.
.............LITBOX...12341/15000...2nd/2...1000+ points...I'm 1073rd in NA.
8:30pm...RetroTVCountdown...ROCKET...15000/15000...1st/2...1000+ points...I'm 1st on the Network 20 in all of Canada....bar is 1022nd. This game was EXACTLY the same as last week which meant minimum changes from the last three weeks. Same mistake of having question 7 and 9 exactly the same!
.............LITBOX...15000/15000...1st/2...1000+ points...I'm 1st in Canada...I'm surprised there were only six perfect games.
9:00pm...Playback (see above).
no friends again tonight so I left at 10:00pm again.
