Tonight I'm playing as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB.

Here's how my game went and my comments:
TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...4th/5...my three friends sweep with a perfect 5000.   
.............LITBOX...4500/5000...4th/5.
The LineUp...ROCKET...13500/15000...1st/5.  
...........LITBOX...13500/15000...1st/5...my two win.  
I got 9 right out of 10 for a great round.       
Triviaoke...ROCKET...18540/25000...1st/5...COSMO wins round.    
..........LITBOX...18540/25000...1st/5...I stayed out of two and got two wrong for -250s.
Opening Act...ROCKET...25040/35000...1st/5. 
................LITBOX...25040/35000...1st/5...COSMO wins round.
The pound-key round.  I must have got seven for 1000, none for +250, one for -250, and two I didn't answer.
Headliner...ROCKET...32540/56250...2nd/5.  
............LITBOX...32540/56250...2nd/5...METLCA wins round and takes lead.
JOURNEY:...1. In Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" the song's hero was born in South _________--Detroit...2. Where did the
current lead singer of Journey get discovered?--On You-Tube...3. The band Journey with roots in San Francisco was formerly known as:--
Golden Gate Rhythm Section...4. Journey gave us what kinds of 'arms' in their 1982 Top 40 hit?--Open...5. American Idol judge Randy
Jackson played this instrument for Journey:...Bass...6. Journey has a song titled "________ of March":--Winds...7. 1970s band Journey 
was the first band to inspire a:--Video Game...8. In a 1981 hit song Journey wanted to know:--Who's Crying Now...9. What was the
name of the 1981 Journey album that contained "Who's Crying Now" and "Open Arms"?--Escape (the only Journey album listed)...10.
Aynsley Dunbar played _______ for both Journey and Jefferson Starship.--Drums

I got three wrong in this round. If I had time for a brief bio read through I would have had '3' and '10' and maybe even '6'. I was glad it was Journey as I didn't bring notes about The Police I'd made months ago and Chicago which I have a greatest hits collection which I didn't look over before I came here.

Now the Encore betting comes up. Well 50% as usual. If I miss it I won't get the standard but I won't be coming out for quite a few weeks.

Answers:

  1. Snap and Clap
  2. Dance and Prance
  3. Jump and Bounce
  4. Move and Groove
  5. Spin and Twirl

I don't know this and tell the others I don't know. They asked what I'm choosing and I say '3'. I don't know what they'll do. I don't realize until after the game that I have a Journey compilation album. I wouldn't have time to listen to it this last week anyway.

Correct Answer:....4. Move and Groove

[NTN Extra Fact:...She loves to move, she loves to groove, she loves the lovin' things.]

I'm wrong and drop down to the two last spots. My friends guess right but say they didn't know the answer. I earn 1500+ points for not meeting the standard of 18000. METLCA wins game with 52725.
(NTN.com lists us as 40th out of 1743 bars playing with an average of 34270).

Here's how the rest of the bar did: 
Player	preEncore	Final	Rank	ntn.com rank
LITBOX	32540	3	16270	 684
ROCKET	32540	3	16270	 684

PLBAAB	29080	4	43620	  86
COSMO	28310	4	42465	  96
I didn't catch how many players ntn.com listed as playing.
