Special Notice to All

I had NOT sent out a newsletter this week because of the holidays and I realized that part of what I need to mention as far as announcements is that fact that I do NOT have another show until NEXT Monday, January 5th. In case you were planning on coming out to the Barn Door tonight, the Barn Door is closed for the holidays until Friday, January 2nd. So, rest your brains and I hope to see all of you next Monday and don't forget I will have had a lot of time on my hands to devise a devilish night. I miss you guys and I would also like to take this oportunity to wish all of you the happiest of New Years.

12/21/08

To everyone celebrating, Hanukkah begins at sundown today so Happy Hanukkah.

WELCOME TO THE
BILLY WARMTH TRIVIA SHOW

Monday night expect a pretty full house at the Barn Door so get there by 7:30, if you can, to get a good seat, or any seat at all and make sure you bring your appetite. I do know that the "Stupid MOFOs" are going to make a guest appearance along with "R & R" and possibly "Croma", maybe more.

SPECIAL
Announcement

Losing a loved one is NEVER good but at Christmas it is even more difficult to deal with. Having lost Louie's mother in the last few weeks, I find myself having to tell you about another, even more difficult loss. About 5 years ago I met a group of people at Crossgates that called themselves the "Mercenaries". Eventually they joined up with the "Bar Flies" and the 'Flies joined up with the "2 Ks" and NOW they are known as the "Bar Ks". At that time the makeup of their team was John, Jack, Karen, Jan, Harold and Bill along with other guest stars including the original mercenaries, Tony and Lisa Mayo and their two children Tony Jr and Angela along with Steve Matroni and Jack Ramsey. Add to that the powers of Rich and Cindy Heslin and their kids, Rory and Kelsey. They then added Nicole and Brian, broke away and morphed into "Puppet Lint" and became a formidable force in the trivia world and could be often found at the Barn Door, Crossgates, Villa Nova West and Annie Baileys. Well, Rich lost his fight with liver cancer on Friday. He leaves behind his wonderful wife and 2 fantastic children who I grew to enjoy. Just being around them is always a pleasure. Rich was one of those people who, after you met and got to know him, you would walk away and say to yourself, "he is one of the nicest guys you could want to call a friend". Rich.....you will be missed!

Announcements
Part A

To all of my Crossgates faithful, with Crossgates making major renovations in about a month please join me at the Barn Door on Monday nights. I would love to see you guys there and I would miss all of you terribly during the renovations. So, start coming out on Monday nights. Great food, tremendous service, excellent competition. And, they BOO "Out of the Vortex" as much as you guys do. Also, if the Barn Door lot gets full, please park in the Boro Police Department lot at the top of the Barn Door lot. However, DO NOT park in spots that say police vehicles only. That would be kinda STUPID and I can't fix STUPID.

Announcements
Part B

There is a new show coming soon to a venue near you. I will hopefully be debuting a new trivia show at the Conestoga Country Club in early 2009. Yes you read that correctly. The Conestoga Country Club. It will be an evening that the Country Club is going to open to the public, something they rarely do. The Pub and Bar area will be the location and a bar food menu will be available and in the better weather we will be able to spread out onto the deck. The only difference you will experience between this show and the others is that there will be a dress code. Conestoga Country Club does NOT permit denim (Jeans to most of you) so the dress will be business casual. I want to assure you that I intend to make this a fun evening for all of you. Prizes will be on the order of gift certificates to the pro shop or something on that order. I have not worked out the details so stay tuned for further updates.

Last Week's Blurbage

"Out of the Vortex" did their best to win ANOTHER trivia night outright BUT they just could not fend off the "J-Men" and had to settle for a tie for first place. The Flaky "Wacky Corner" finished 7 points back in 3rd place and Phil was, once again, no help to them. The news of the night was the historic 5th place finish of "KC". Yes, with only Karen and Cori out tonight (That's how they got their name - K and C, get it, hehehe, how clever), they actually finished in the top 6. I now know that teammate Kim, who was NOT there, is the obvious problem for them. Make sure you come out on the early side Monday night as we will begin to expect crossover appearances from many of the Crossgates teams. We had a mini-crossover last week with Tracy and Lori from the "Stupid MOFOs" and their entire team is expected this week, including the very goofy Joyce, along with some other teams and ALL of them are a threat to the dominance of the 'Vortex. So make sure you have fun booing the teams you love to hate and there is MORE than one. And with the Millersville break upon us will the gutless "Lionel Richie Has Left Us" make a return showing? So come out Monday nights. It is a great way to break up the Winter blues. And make sure you get there around 7:30 or so and have a good meal before the show. That will also insure that you actually get a seat. Capacity is around 100 and we have been averaging about 60 so seating might become a problem. Also, if the Barn Door lot gets full, please park in the Boro Police Department lot at the top of the Barn Door lot. However, DO NOT park in spots that say police vehicles only. That would be kinda STUPID and I can't fix STUPID. AVOID the Getty Mart lot at all costs, as a matter of fact, IGNORE the Getty Mart PERIOD.

Hello Everyone,

Tonight's show is once again postponed. Louie's mothers funeral was Monday and he is NOT ready to return to work. In addition he lost most of his staff to graduation on Sunday. My last show for 2008 will be Monday (Dec 22nd) at the Barn Door. There is an error in my newsletter: The Barn Door is closed for the holidays from Christmas Eve thru New Years day and will reopen on Friday January 2nd. Make plans to come out to the Barn Door this Monday night. My next show after Monday will be at the Barn Door on January 5th to open up the 2009 Trivia Year. Hope to see many of you on Monday night and to those of you that I won't get a chance to see I would like to take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Last Week's Blurbage

Well, "Out of the Vortex", with the tournaments "Out of the Way", is moving right into the holidays without letting up. Last Monday here at the barn Door they stomped on the throats of the 2nd place "Wacky Corner" by 20 points and the 3rd place "J-Men" by 25 points. I think it was their way of saying "bite me" for the holidays. Be prepared for that influx of Crossgates players as they head into their renovation shutdown. And, with the holidays approaching 'Vortex was wondering outloud if "Puppet Lint" and "Lionel Richie Has Left Us" are EVER going to come out of hiding and TRY to challenge them. The 'Vortex's Barbara and Sam were overheard saying that "NOBODY can handle them". So come out Monday nights. It is a great way to break up the Winter blues. And make sure you get there around 7:30 or so and have a good meal before the show. That will also insure that you actually get a seat. Capacity is around 100 and we have been averaging about 60 so seating might become a problem. Also, if the Barn Door lot gets full, please park in the Boro Police Department lot at the top of the Barn Door lot. However, DO NOT park in spots that say police vehicles only.

Last Week's Blurbage

Well, with the 2008 tournaments finally concluded we now get to endure the Winter blues. But, with the expected influx of teams crossing over to the Barn Door from Crossgates while Crossgates goes thru a period of major renovations, this show just might become the HALLMARK of trivia shows. Hey Curtis and Mike, are you taking notes? So make sure you get there around 7:30 or so and have a good meal before the show. That will also insure that you actually get a seat. Capacity is around 100 and we have been averaging about 65 so seating might become a problem. Also, if the Barn Door lot gets full, please park in the Boro Police Department lot at the top of the Barn Door lot. However, DO NOT park in spots that say police vehicles only. That would be kinda STUPID and I can't fix STUPID.

As for the tournament, "Out of the Vortex" took apart all pretenders to the throne including the "Wacky Corner" which finished in 2nd place. 'Vortex easily handled them by a margin of 7 points per week. 3rd place, some 16 points further back was the "J-Men" with "Phobics and Phobias" the only other true contenders finishing 4th. And, BEELIEVE IT OR NOT......."KKC" actually DID finish 5th for their 1st prize money position since the founding of trivia here in Lancaster County back in 1538 by none other than Curtis Earth. Stone tablets were used then as answer sheets. "Juts Dumb Luck" swept into the 6th and final money slot not so much by doing well but by watching "Bob's Angels" and "Don't Know Jack" totally fall apart. Part of the 'Jack's problem was the fact that the perky Zoe was unavailable for many of the shows down the stretch and Emily just couldn't pull it together for her team.This weeks mini-category will be the TV network Nickelodeon.

December 8th: Nickelodeon
