Somewhere In Detroit

Tuesday nights are rarely ever fun. You're one day past Monday, but not quite halfway through the week. Usually there aren't any shows to go to, and drink specials just aren't enough to make you want to sit with three other people at your favorite bar.

If you live in Detroit, you're lucky. There's trivia at Bookie's downtown every Tuesday night. There are four rounds of ten questions, and at the end of each round, each player gets a free shot. Typically, the shots are something heavily 'watered down' like a kamikaze or something with watermelon Pucker. But it's still FREE. Each team can have up to four players, and you better fucking watch it, because you can't have five people at your table without another team complaining about it. Even if you are losing. The questions range all over the place from pop culture to sports to history to government to current events. The team that wins gets their bar tab paid for. But keep in mind that since they've been doing this (about six months), the same team has won every night except the one night they didn't show up, and last week. Last week in a stunning upset, the Earmuffs beat the Teabaggers.

Watch out for God Bless the Midwest (my team).

The festivities start at 9:30pm every Tuesday. Bookies is located at 1265 Washington Blvd, Detroit, 48226 - (313) 963-2589. If there's a baseball game, they might start a little late when the game is done.
