2.22.15 Lightning Will Trivia

2.22.15 Lightning Will Bar & Grill - Trivia

It seems forever ago, but Dice's first show was a Sunday gig, hosting Last Call Quiz in NW Portland. That show never gained much traction and after several months of trying to make it work, we decided it was time to put Dice's energy elsewhere. Dice hasn't worked in NW Portland or on Sundays since, so I was excited to get the opportunity to start a brand new show at Lightning Will Bar & Grill on NW 21st this past weekend. Not only is this venue fantastic, but this part of town has a strong Trivia following, with several other venues hosting successful weeknight shows, so Dice is eager to get back into the NW PDX Trivia scene.

Starting a show is significantly easier than when I first was hosting, but Dice still gets butterflies walking in to a new venue that he normally doesn't experience at his existing shows. Naturally, Lightning Will's first show opened against a pre-season Portland Timbers matches a couple of blocks away, the Portland Trail Blazer game on TV, the 87th annual Academy Awards, and, oh yeah, the weather just happened to be perfect too. Dice was shocked anyone was in the bar willing to play some Trivia!

Lightning Will is a spacious bar with great acoustics that features a fantastic beer, cocktail, and food lineup. Dice hoisted the phenomenal Double-IPA from Bend's Crux Fermentation Project and might have found his new Central Oregon fav after 10 Barrel's sale. Not to be outdone by the beer, the Happy Hour burger was easily one of the best post-Trivia meals Dice has ever tasted.

TEAMS: It was wonderful to see the DIRTY JEHOVAHS (82) together for a night! PELE (54) made some big wagers all night, but missed on their biggest. Multi-tasking masters HOTTIE & SNOTTIE (51) easily managed to play Trivia and watch the Oscars. COMFORTABLY DUMB (49) win Dice's heralded Best Trivia Team Name award!


The reviews are in...Trivia Sundays at the Lightning Will is the place to be! Until next Sunday, enjoy a sample of Dice's Lightning Will playlist!
