Pub Quiz at Slowdown

Pub quiz is one of my favorite events here in Omaha so I might be stretching a bit to call it free.  The quiz is four categories, 40 questions and really a very difficult, random quiz.  In teams of five or fewer, people try to know more about the obscure (and often inane) categories than the other quiz-goers.

Here is the free caveat, if you win then your drinks are free.  We did not win.  I suppose I could have not had anything to drink or, like my friend Julie, only had a soda.  In these cases the even would be free or at least inexpensive but with a great beer selection on tap, that is doubtful for me.

The night we went was the fourth anniversary of The Slowdown opening.  As a special treat for this occasion we had ice cream from the Ice Cream Man of Portland!  Four years is no small feat and if you are not familiar with The Slowdown, it was recently the subject of a Planet Money report on Omaha's revitalization and reversing the trend by attracting college graduates to live and work in the city.

Regardless of the cost, this is a super fun event and I'll continue going, win or lose.
