First off, As some of you know, I am the "Quizmaster" at a bar near the University of Pennsylvania's campus. This Thursday, 1/25, I am having Simpsons night there. All the questions will be about the Simpsons. So, if anybody in the Philly area wants to go or anybody coming in very early for Penn Bowl wants to go, please email me at PCastagna_at_.... That aside, I am guilty of what Victoria complains about. I am sure that if I looked up all the Trash questions I wrote, 99.9% of the music would be mainstream, and more than its fair share would come from the 80s. Obviously, it is a product of what people know, and I have used the AMG to try to expand my horizons a little bit in writing. Also, Trash is supposed to be fun to play (insert snickering comments here), so I try to make each question gettable by the end. Erik's point is well-taken about there being no giveaway for stuff like Modest Mouse. TRASH seemed to move their questions at TRASHionals last year into a harder and more expansive realm, I found the music questions to be very hard (I am a fair music player). I also think ego comes into it as well. Good players will complain if they score badly on packets, which can create a dampering effect on what people submit. Well, that's my 2 cents and I hope to see people on Thursday. Phil
