The 34th Annual Kings X Trivia Tournament was held on April 27 at WPLJ in Walnut Creek. The winning team was “The Crying Babies of Claremont Hotel,” who won 19 to 14 over “It’s Fun Until You Poke Yourself in the Eye.” The captain of the losing team, Dana Rodriguez, one of our best players, lost with equanimity and grace (two of my favorite people). I was fortunate enough to captain the winning team. My partners RJ, Maddy, Kathryn and Pauline were all sterling performers. Our host, MC and quizmaster was Jim Buchanan, an excellent moderator and one of the great players in the area. I am sure Jim will not mind if I try a few of his questions on our interested readers.
