20 Teams!
In only our second week out of the gate, attendance at All-Star Pop Culture blew even our expectations with 20 TEAMS showing up last night.
Fighting their way to the top of the night were new-comers Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, tied with returning team The Mogs with 71 points. But 42 remains at the top of the overall standings for the season.
One note about last night's quiz... It was brought to our attention that the answer for the Half-time Multiple Choice question, BoyzUp, is infact a real boy band (actually it's "Boys Up"). While we can tell you that this name was made up by the ASPC quiz team, we find it very strange that this name exists. As a result, we have removed all points earned for that question (since there actually was no correct answer). Rest assured, this did not change the night's winners or the payout of the prize pool.
Next week, Feb. 8th, we are back to our regularly scheduled time slot: 7:00 p.m. at Jillian's.
UPDATE: After much deliberation and counsel at ASPC Main Offices, the dispute that was lodged regarding the Half-time question has been reversed. The question was stated: "Pick the name that was NOT a Boy Band". The intended correct choice, BoysUp, turned out to be a real group, but a fabricated "mock" group. While they received some press, and put out a controvercial video (with resulting documentary), they never released a CD. ASPC waxed and waned on what, exactly makes a Boy Band a "Boy Band". We settled on the fact that a Boy Band must have some sort of music for sale at some point in their career, and therefore we overruled the previous dispute. All scores are corrected.

Let me just state that I applaud the decision made by the ASPC Main Office. I debated whether or not to complain about the reversal but didn't want to make a stink. I'm glad to see the correct action was ultimately taken.
Keep up the great work ASPC!!!
