Tavern Trivia
If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend trivia night at The Tavern (Wednesdays at 7pm). Austin Pub Quiz runs the event and uses an 8 round format. I'm only good at the nerd rounds, but there is plenty of opportunity for those of you good at movie and TV quotes, name that tune, and movie and TV theme songs.
Sadly, during the last game, the only TV theme song I could identify was Airwolf.
Winners get to take home and decorate the trophy. Look closely for the Captain Kirk bobblehead and the Imperial Palace casino chip. Those were my additions.
Highball
If you've been in laid up in the hospital, or incarcerated in the third world and just cleared of your trumped up charges, then I understand how you can be in Austin but haven't yet been to The Highball. I'm not sure why it took the Austin Chronicle until January 8 to write a review. If you have been, then you know how much fun this place is. Needless to say, if you haven't been yet then get down to Highball to bowl on lanes imported from New Orleans (formerly of the famous Rock n' Bowl) and to hit one of the karaoke rooms. Also, order the fried shrimp plate. Trust me on this one. Furthermore, if Broken Lizard is there: even if their female friends offer you a cupcake, the guys probably do not actually want you to eat it.
