The umpteenth annual Kings X Trivia Tournament was held a couple weeks back at WPLJ in Walnut Creek. We still use the Kings X name to honor our log time headquarters in North Oakland, the famous “home of trivia.”
Unfortunately, my team lost in the finals to a good friend, Darrel Garrison and his team of stalwarts. Fortunately, we lost, so I do not have to host next year’s tournament, Darrel does. This year’s host was Rich Berkery, who did an exemplary job. You know the moderator has done well when there are no complaints afterward. Here a few of Rich’s gems.
