5/31 Memorial Day hints + a June 7 reminder...

Yes, it will be Memorial Day in America, but Joe & Noah don't know the meaning of the word "memorial", so the heat is still on in Sauce Soundbar this Monday. Below are hints for the night...

- A rapper named Drake
- Pixar films
- Famous grilled cheese sandwiches
- Poker hands

IMAGE ROUND - Wuzzles! (Word/symbol puzzles - check yer Strib Variety section, they're in there)
SOUND ROUND - Songs you're shocked to hear in commercials

Get there early for a table, no more than 6 to a team (or 7 if you ask super nicely), and no use of cell phones/iphones/etc during trivia. Thems the rules.

Also note, June 7 is JOE & NOAH's 1980's THEMED TRIVIA!! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! Tell yourselves!

Monday, June 7 - 80's NIGHT!!!

That's right ladies and germs - On 6/7/10, J&N Monday Night Trivia goes back to the 1980's! All questions, sound round, image round, DJ selections - ALL of it dedicated to one of the most embarassing decades ever produced by mankind!

More details to follow I'm sure, including a potential Bessed Dressed competition? Check back for updates!

5/24 Winnerz

Congrats to "We'd Be More Apathetic If We Weren't So Lethargic"! They won our 5/24 Monday Night Trivia by kicking ass AND taking names - and for those of us in the name taking business, we know it's hard to do both at the same time.

Special thanks DJ Martine - you rock our worlds!

DJ Knol up next week, and stay tuned for a special announcement regarding us (Noah and I) needing your input for a brand new mini-game show during trivia!

8pm quiz, but as always...show up early for a table.

5/10 Winner winner chicken dinner + DJ Knol's Playlist

Congratulations go out to this week's trivia winner "ALVIN AND THE DICKPUMPS"!

Don't let the classy team name fool you - they got raw on the competition, and walked away with the J&N Trivia Championship.

Their title defense starts next week - does anyone have the nuts to challenge them?

Also, shout out to DJ Knol Tate for keeping Joe & Noah's ego in check, as well as his great music selection. You can see the playlist here: http://djknoltate.blogspot.com/2010/05/joe-and-noahs-trivia-sauce-may-10-2010.html. Next week DJ Tim brings the audio noise, and we'll be back as always with new yuk-yuks for you, the audience.

5/10 Hints + Video Stuff

hints for 5/10/10 trivia

After a busy week involving Jury duty for Joe and lord-knows-what for Noah, we're finally ready to blast trivia into your faces.

shit to watch out for: Stoli Vodka, Happy Day's spin-off shows, Victoria's Secret

image round: famous drummers
sound round: 89.3 the current's favorite songs

REMEMBER: No teams larger than 6 people (7 if you ask very very nicely is OK, we suppose), AND no use of cell phones/computers/iphones etc.

UPDATE 5/9 @ 11:AM - Also a note, there is a very real possibility that starting next week, 5/17, we will be video taping a few of our trivias in a row. We are doing this because J&N Trivia intends to put together a couple of these web videos the kids are talking about, in the form of advertisements and short-form infomercials.

What does this mean for you? Hopefully, not much - the cameras presumably will be directed only at the stage, so Joe & Noah will be the focus of the attention. However, we may also get "testimonials" from trivia goers about why they come to trivia, how much fun it is, who probably has the bigger package - Joe or Noah... things like that.

I will update as necessary on this topic, but expect video cameras to be making their appearance in the next week or two!!

5/3 Winnuh

Your winners for this week's (5/3) trivia - WE'D BE MORE APATHETIC IF WE WEREN'T SO LETHARGIC!! These trivia beasts are tearing up Monday nights!

Special thanks to everyone who showed up to our show, which was our official 6 month anniversary, or LUNAVERSARY as one of our clever trivia-goers noted. (It's a real word, promises.)

Shout-out to Ms. DJ Martine, who apparently rocked that bitch so hard last night that we had several merry gentlemen removing clothing and starting a "You Got Served" type dance party. These things happen at trivia. It's alright to stare.

Next week - DJ Knol Tate, Lyle Asks a Question, and Noah Paster whips out his balls, asking us to select which one is bigger. DRAMA!

Hints for 5/3/10

Here's the deal:

No cell phones
No groups bigger than 6 (7 if you ask nice, and if we're in a pleasant mood..which is always, because trivia night rules)

Do not bother if you have a team of 7+. We will not acknowledge teams that large. Plus, you're not doing anyone a favor by having a group that big. We received constant complaints from our trivia regulars last week about a massive team, and how many people were using cell phones.

now... what to look out for:

- Hugh Hefner's recent massive contribution
- Lake Harriet Bandshell
- Lollapalooza

sound round: famous duos/friends/partners
image round: past/present SNL cast members

Martine brings the smooth jams, and will be playing music post-trivia. Don't forget that Sauce has a killer late night happy hour. 10pm-12am $3 house wine, taps, and rails

8:00pm quiz, but always... show up a little earlier for your team of 6 to get a table

by the way: happy six months of trivia @ sauce!

Rocking this bitch, new logo included

There comes a time when there needs to be a change that we all can believe in. Now, I know Obama was talking about the general discourse in this country, but (I believe) he was ALSO talking about Joe & Noah Monday Night Trivia needing a new logo.

Well, he probably wasn't referencing our humble little trivia, now that I think about it. But what the hell, why not make a new one anyways?

So tip of the hat (not a wag of the finger, ala Stephen Colbert) to Mr. Scotty Jay for the drawing of a gun-holding Noah P, and a rather displeased version of me with my arms crossed, which in some cultures is more manly than holding a gun.

The new logo will be appearing on the brand new answer sheets at this upcoming (5/3) trivia, so be sure to look out for that. There may be tweaks and additions in the near future, but hey, I was hammered when I made this new logo, and I figure if it's good enough for 8-beer Joe, then it's good enough for you guys and gals.

Enjoy, and see you Monday!
