Great Midwest Trivia Contest

So, I feel like now is the good time to introduce my pocket gnome friend. He's still got a shaky sense of identity, but after his weekend, I hope he will be a bit more secure. 

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Trivia, it's an undeniably unique lawrence tradition.  It's the longest rinningn trivia contest, as it runs year round (on a technicality. The last years last question is next years first question) but it actively runs for 50 hours. This year Portia is a Trivia Master, which means she wrote questions and is announcing/running the radio broadcast of the event. Answers are phoned in (to volunteers on phone lines) and no one gets much sleep. 

This year the union street team is running out of comedy house, which is thankfully forcing  me to dive head first into this incredible tradition.
