LIVE-STREAMING of Chairman's Quiz in the body of the diary below.
In order to increase decorum, last year's Pub Quiz was moved out of the bar setting to a conference room and renamed the Chairman's Quiz. As you can see below this made for a far more sober crowd:
In a shocking upset The Little People at GOS Beat the Front Pagers.
As detailed in Adam B's diary of last year's 5th Annual Pub Quiz, a showdown is a-brewin' this year:
Make no mistake: this isn't over.
Not for Markos, and not for me either.
Adam B has given Mr Julie Gulden, husband of last year's Quiz Winning Team Captain extraordinaire, permission to smuggle film and commentary to your homebound liveblogger. If he's successful you'll find videos int he comments.

Last year's reigning champion team Sea Org was beaten by the MinnesOHNOZ (who this year will simply be the OHNOZ) by a single point.
Sea Org member David Nir warned:
Sea Org plans to reclaim its crown next year in Providence. Remember our motto: WE COME BACK!
When contacted for the
OHNOZ motto, Julie Gulden demurred, saying only "Last year was for the win, this year for the fun!" A likely story.
Full Disclosure: I'm rooting for the OHNOZ (and was a key player in their victory last year by refusing to join their team).
3:45 PM PST: The Livestream isn't up yet, but we do have our first smuggled video: Team Introductions Begin!

Tied for First Place: Joe ? for Mayor, Wisconsin Sadness Brigade
5:00 PM: From my spy:
Very rowdy here. Latest ruling had to do with whether or not Pluto is a planet for purposes of determining which two planets are closest to one another based on distance from sun (roughly paraphrased). Adam B said that he still considers Pluto to be a planet. Some cheers, some boos.
5:30 PM: AND THE WINNER IS:

2nd: Joe ? for Mayor wins goodie baskets
1st: Sea Org
