Trivia Q&A: March 5

We had 11 teams at The Mad Hatter for another enjoyable night of Trivia. Thanks to all of you who come out each week. Once again, it has been so great to be in the new place, with such a great staff, as I feel like I am a reborn Trivia Maven!
The night was like a pendulum: the scores for Current Events, General Knowledge and IQ Trivia were on the lower side, but for the two special categories they were rather high. And the team of Six Girls, One Trivia Night led from start to finish, and wound up the night with 41 points and winning by five points. Another classy win for Alex and his crew.
Second place went to You Go, Hugo! with 36 points, and third place went to Hey Chavez! Hu-Going to Hell! with 34 points.
Best Team Name: The Piano Sounds Like a Carnival & This Microphone Smells Like a Penis
