Dead Solid Perfect

As is customary, a good time was had by all last night at Keegan's Irish Pub. The beer and conversation flowed freely and those in attendance were even treated to an Elvis performance by the Fatalist In Links Trousers. We had told you that the first ever Fraters Trivia Night was going to be an historic evening and indeed it was.

In the nearly two years of Tuesday and Thursday night trivia at Keegan's, only one team has ever ran the board and answered all twenty-five questions correctly. And no, it wasn't your friendly neighborhood Fraters squad either (although we have come so close we can taste it). So when a team that was making their inaugural appearance at trivia nailed every question that we threw out, it was indeed a special event.

Congratulations to the Pointy-Headed Reaganites for turning in an impressive performance and walking out of the bar with an unblemished scorecard. They have a set a new single night standard for Thursday night trivia and given us added incentive to seek perfection ourselves. Of course, it might have helped that the questions asked last night were unambiguous, delivered flawlessly, with a reasonable expectation of being answered correctly.

Next Thursday is St. Patrick's Day and there will be no trivia competition at Keegan's. There will be a bar packed full of fun and friendly folk celebrating the finer points of Irish culture: beer and whiskey. Come on down and raise a pint to Paddy.

There will also be some special guests at Keegan's next Tuesday as this message from Terry Keegan details:

Next Tuesday, March 15, George Killian Lett, and his wife, Phoebe, will be here at Keegan's Pub. My wife and I met them at their home on the original Killian's Brewery in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford. They are truly delightful people to know. Killian's Irish Red is an Irish beer that is brewed under license in the United States by Coors. During the visit by the Killians we will have their draft beer on sale for just $2.25 a pint. George and Phoebe will be here between 8 and 9 pm, Tuesday, March 15. Come in and say "Hello."
