Last week the young engineer group at work had a dinner party at Dave & Busters. It
was a Wednesday night but I was still very surprised at how empty the place was. They must have been so happy to have our large group come out and reserve a room for dinner. The food was pretty good, especially the mini pizza appetizers. After we finished eating, the hosts of the show put on a version of the game show "Street Smarts". It consists of three pre-recorded interviews with three people, in which each person is asked an indentical set of questions like, "Who is the president?" or "What number is identified by a baker's dozen?". The game aspect of the show is that the contestants must guess which of the interviewees either got a question correct or incorrect. I was surprised at how well the show was pulled off.
The only other event of note from last Wednesday is that we saw this guy who was an expert at the basketball game with the moving backboard. When I play, I usually score somewhere between 30 and 50 points (if I'm lucky). My friends are better and some of them score around 60 to 80 points. This guy was scoreing in the hundreds! I think I saw him score over 200 points, but I'm not sure cause the third digit of the score board can only display a one. It was amazing. I was totally humbled and will never play that game again if he is there. Another door in my life is shut.
