      Grandpa Belcher’s World Famous Pub Quiz
      As the Top 8 of Vintage began, Nat hosted his World Famous Pub Quiz (WFPQ)!

      Serious Triva

      Four Teams formed to battle it out for the true Glory of The Land.

      Team "Awesome" - Rajah, Ben, Rob, Joe, Hazard (Quotation marks added by Nat)
      "Kevin Poenisch by Himself" - Eric, Kevin, Angelo, Kevin
      Team Mean Reflect Bus - JR, Andy, Jimmy, David
      "Dr. Steven B. Morbius" - Steven, Mike O, Jake B., Bob

      Rounds included classic Pub themes such as Dogs and Blues Brothers, along with Magic related categories and an amazing Lightning Round.

      It was clear from the beginning that allowing the super team of Mean Reflect Bus to come together was a mistake; they ran away with the victory. While Hazard was able to hold down Team “Awesome” with a near-perfect score in the Blues Brother’s category, JR’s virtuoso performance in the “Lightning Round” category Wrestling with Film capped off their near flawless victory.

      Congrats to Team Mean Reflect Bus for taking home the Trivia Gold! And huge thank you to Nat for hosting!

      Cake
      We had not one but two birthdays on the weekend! First up was Ben Revell celebrating 40 years! We enjoyed German Chocolate cake on Friday to celebrate.

      We also helped Nat celebrate the BIG 40 with a cake and singing!

      Serious Vintage Birthday Cake

      To the relief of some and the regret of others, no spankings were distributed to either birthday boy. That I know of.

      Crackin’ Boosties: Mystery Booster Convention Edition

      Nam had a box of the much sought after “Convention Edition” of the Mystery Boosters. He didn’t want to draft himself but would enjoy his box getting opened, so we did it!

      Angelo
      Chad
      Mike O
      Eric / McGrew
      Kevin Poensich
      David Lance
      Rajah
      Ben Revell

      The finals featured Angelo on a nasty fast Green deck with Beastmaster’s Ascension and some super dope Convention cards vs. Rajah on a mostly mono-black deck featuring Meren, Mortapod, and Reassembling Skeleton. Angelo smashed face and prevailed as the Mystery Booster Convention Edition Champion!

      Thanks!
      James Family for use of the space and grilling and everything!
      Andy for amazing trophy and the name 🙂
      Angelo for the Bottlehouse Warm UP
      JR, Jerry, Twan - My dad and uncle say special thanks for the help prepping and chatting

      All Team Serious Friends
      All attendees! Everyone else not mentioned by name who did anything, thank you and appreciate you!

      1000% Serious
