But Soft! What Light Through Yonder Window Breaks?

It is the east, and Trivia Weekend is the sun.

Coming to 89.9 WWSP on April 17-19 is "Trivia 40: Here's ooking at you, Kid", a fifty-four hour trivia extravaganza. This raw display of mental muscles is not for the weak of heart (or the weak of liver, come to think about it). I will be staying in Stevens Point proper for the weekend, just so I can be a little more snuggly with the vibe that is trivia weekend. It's the world's largest trivia contest, so for all you road-side attraction fans...this does qualify as a weekend-long roadside attraction where people do phone-in responses as well as city-wide scavenger hunts. And since Easter will be a fond memory by the time Trivia rolls around, wouldn't you like to have a little extra in the way of scavenger hunting? I know I do!

For those of you who have been so cruelly parted from Trivia by time, distance, or inclination, I would like to mention that WWSP has online streaming radio here:

You might just want to scroll through the team names, because they are generally a hoot. The team I'm in is called "This is why we can't have nice things." It's not "Gene Autry's Ninja Warriors" (actual team name: http://members.tripod.com/~ganw/) but it's appropriate and always makes my roommate and me laugh.

And as a hint for the newbs: The first question always has something to do with Robert Redford, and Belt's (Home of the Big Cone) always has "Trivia Mavens" on their sign.

Seriously. Always. So here's to the first Trivia that I plan to attend since Trivia 33: All in the Family. Let's hope that Trivia 40 is even better...or at least that it isn't a tragedy.
