*Myself and Zach- Your Mcees for the evening.*
So, at this very moment I couldn´t be more proud.
Extatic, bouncing in my seat with excitment proud.
Last night, Wednesday night, I commenced the very first Trivia Night in Xela, to benefit Trama Textiles. I´ve been working so hard to get this going...finding the right venue, promoting the event, and just general organizing and researching questions. After all my effort, the night was a blast....I honestly couldn´t have asked for it to go any better. We filled the bar...30 people, about 9 teams...and even had some locals!... Oh, and the locals WON! Their team name was the Rabbit Masacre....quite creative as well. haha.
We had a grand prize donated by another local pub ( Who call themselves Beer and Pool. Gosh, i love it here), free pizza and beer- not to shabby! We charged 10Q to play, just over a dollar...which isn´t much...but in Guatemala terms, we made about 40 dollars in one evening, which is an amazing amount! Especially considering we only had about 5Q in our account before hand. Trivia consisted of 5 categories, being: International current events, Michael Jackson, Monsters, Basic Sports and Leisure, and General Music Knowledge. I also threw in a few random´Shot Questions´ in between rounds, taking after Trivia Nights in Connecticut by Radio104. Everything went so well that we can´t wait to do it again next week...even if we get half the amount of people, I´d be happy.
A complete success!
Estoy Muy Feliz!!! Vida es bueno.
As for myself, I´m taking off tomorrow morning for the weekend....off to Semuc Champey. Yes, I decided to go after much debating. Throwing my money out the window and just enjoying it. It´s said to be the prettiest place in all of Guatemala...and I get to swim in waterfalls, tube down the river and splunk in some caves. ha. Needless to say, its a trip right up my ally and I can´t wait....why was I thinking of not going??
Mas historias cuando regresso.
