Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (to the blog)...

A message from Dice...

Dear Trivia Fans,

Ladies and gentlemen...your support for me in the last year has been phenomenal. From my first show to last night's at the Rivershore, the energy you bring every single week to our shows inspires me to continue to work harder to bring you the best Trivia show in Portland. As our shows grew in popularity, so did my desire to provide even more to Trivia fans with new features like this blog and Facebook page. Again, the response has been phenomenal from you. I am so very thankful each and every day for what I do and the great people that I get to meet and interact with on a nightly basis. Thank you for your help in creating all of this, I could not have done it without you.

Trivia fans, it is with you in mind that I'm excited to say that several new features and a few changes are coming for me soon. You've seen my Facebook page and you obviously can read my blog, but as soon as I can figure out how to type fewer than 140-characters you'll be able to follow me on Twitter! Several other new features are in the works, including links to Dice's Spotify playlists and a Trivia podcast that I cannot wait to free up some time to work on.

Time...there really isn't enough of that. Already hosting Monday through Thursday nights, I recently added a fifth show to my Trivia line-up, this time establishing a new Sunday Trivia show at Lightning Will Bar & Grill in NW Portland. This is a great-looking bar that features a creative beer, cocktail, and food menu that will have you coming back on non-Trivia nights. The first show is February 22nd and more details will be available soon. After meeting with the staff, I'm very excited about the potential for this location.

Ramping up my Trivia game cannot happen without some changes to how I operate now. The most obvious change you can expect is to the format of my blog posts. Providing nightly show recaps is truly enjoyable, but creating the "Trivia" content can be time-consuming and cause delays in getting the nightly recap out. To counter this, I am removing the "Trivia" section from the recaps and giving them their own blog posts. This should streamline my process significantly and let me create new Trivia-only posts that will be more accessible to everyone. My hope is that all of these changes improve your overall Trivia experience while allowing me the flexibility to continue to expand my imaginary Trivia empire.

Thank you again for all your support and kindness through the last year. As you can see, my Trivia-life is a bit consuming, but I love working for you and bringing my unique brand of Trivia to the people of Portland. Did I mention there's a 50-hour Trivia-thon this weekend? See what I mean about consuming...

Please feel free to leave any comments or suggestions, I always love hearing from Trivia fans!
