A shameless plug and my 2 cents

First off,

As some of you know, I am the
"Quizmaster" at a bar near the University of Pennsylvania's
campus.
This Thursday, 1/25, I am having Simpsons night there.
All the questions will be about the Simpsons. So, if
anybody in the Philly area wants to go or anybody coming
in very early for Penn Bowl wants to go, please
email me at PCastagna_at_.... 

That
aside, I am guilty of what Victoria complains about. I
am sure that if I looked up all the Trash questions
I wrote, 99.9% of the music would be mainstream,
and more than its fair share would come from the
80s.

Obviously, it is a product of what people know, and I have
used the AMG to try to expand my horizons a little bit
in writing. Also, Trash is supposed to be fun to
play (insert snickering comments here), so I try to
make each question gettable by the end. Erik's point
is well-taken about there being no giveaway for
stuff like Modest Mouse.

TRASH seemed to move
their questions at TRASHionals last year into a harder
and more expansive realm, I found the music questions
to be very hard (I am a fair music player).


I also think ego comes into it as well. Good
players will complain if they score badly on packets,
which can create a dampering effect on what people
submit. 

Well, that's my 2 cents and I hope to see
people on Thursday.

Phil
