Masters of Trivia Returns

submitted by David Badger

The Masters of Trivia returns to Oliver on Friday, February 27th at 7:00 p.m. This is the Premier League Tournament. At our last great battle we saw The Mighty Pixels have their supremacy challenged and actually tied ( you know, the dead heat thing) by the upstart, yet laden with gobs of useless information, team of John Won’t Care. These two teams of snobbists don’t regard any other challengers with any respect nonetheless, we can fit in 8-10 more teams of hopeful trivialists and their dreams of glory.

Team Trivia a la pub quiz style. It’s Trivial Pursuit minus the board, dice and those little wedgie things. The battle is for the coveted Einstein Cup that is now being claimed in an an ego tug-of-war by the aforementioned two premier league teams.

The Mighty Pixels are down a player and scrambling for help (Ronaldo has been contacted) while John Won’t Care has added French Diva Helene who apparently knows way too much stuff no one cares about. There’s a twelve team/table max and teams consist of 3 to 5 players each. You can register as a team or come alone and be put with other players to form a team.

The questions are general knowledge and roam around the categories of the mind at will. It’s a great way to spend a night of interactive fun. We will see you on February 27th when the front doors and the big minds open.

Register early. $5 per head. See you at Medici’s at 522 Fairview Rd. in Oliver. 250-498-2228…and by the way, who did the best cover of Bob Dylan’s It Ain’t Me Babe????….huh?.

UPDATE: The Premier League Tournament of the Masters is coming in a week and a half if…if…if…we have enough committed teams. So far, the two co-champions have registered their intent, but so far only mumblings from the ranks about maybe putting in a team to take on the titans. Truth be: if we don’t have enough teams we won’t run the event. Come on people..it’s CHEAP….it’s FUN. You can win money and a trophy! Register your team or as a single and we will build you a team. Keep Oliver as Canada’s home of the most trivial people!

Do not miss this!!!

Recognize these faces? These local guys are one of the best bands in the valley. They are folk, rock, boogie and blues and they are almost HERE!!!

Great White North began in 2012 as the solo project of Mike Szalay. Through a debut EP, he was able to channel some soft folk sounds. The project built up its foundation with the help of a number of cast members rotating through the onstage lineup. As the live-sound grew into a hard hitting folk-rock performance, Great White North showed its new face with the permanent additions of long time collaborators, Sid Ruhland, Carson Ruhland, Polo Vientimilla and Sean Petersen. The new sound continues to bask heavily in its acoustic folk roots, as well as diving into the harder rock, country and blues sounds that have come with the addition of a full band.

Great White North can still be witnessed in a number of settings, all of which may fall somewhere between a traditional solo singer-songwriter project to a full-scale band. With help from a large group of musical friends, a live performance may feature anywhere from one to six or seven band members playing the music of Great White North in a one-off, unique fashion.

It’s a sweetheart of a concert right at Valentine’s. Tickets are $15. Seating is planned and we will be packed. Tickets are going very fast and when we are sold out you’ll be asking yourself why you waited….so don’t!!
