JW's Trivia Q&A;: July 20

We didn't have a big crowd in again at Josie Wood's (the crowds probably won't be appearing in any big numbers until the NYU students return in September), but it sure was a spirited one. The winning team this week was Harry Potter Is Dead, who scored with 42 points. (One of the winning team's members was a one-time winner at Professor Thom's Trivia Night, which was nice to see.) Second place went to Warrior Princesses with 36 points.
It was a pleasure to meet Lauren from Lionshead Beer tonight, and I have to say it's a pretty good brew!
