Its that time of year again! Bob’s Big Brain needs to sharpen up for game day. Yes, it’s the return of ‘World Trivia Night’, North America’s largest live trivia event with 2500 participants. The event is not til Friday November 2nd (at the Aberdeen pavilion, Lansdowne Park) but this Tuesday I will be hosting ‘Team Captain night’ at Moe’s Newport Restaurant, a bit of a ‘trivia warm-up’ with fast-paced trivia questions being fired out to very enthusiastic trivia and pizza lovers. Trivia master Paul Paquette is back on board and it will be a ton of fun. If you’ve never participated in ‘World Trivia Night’, get 9 other people together, give your team a silly name, and register TODAY at www.worldtrivianight.com! It’s a huge fundraiser for ‘Champions for Children’ (over half a million dollars raised over the last 10 years). Our humble team, ‘Bob’s Big Brain’ will be back, trying to best our 15th place showing for the past 2 years. See you November 2nd at the Aberdeen Pavilion!One night only…this Wednesday…promises to be the best girl’s night out, like, EVER!! Its called ‘What a Girl Wants’ , a fundraiser for the Ottawa chapter of the Canadian Liver Foundation. The Westin Hotel will be the hotspot with one lively event, where you can mix and mingle, enjoy delicious food, and get hooked up with the latest fashions, beauty treatments, jewellery and handbags! I will be there, probably never very far away from anything chocolate. For more information about ‘What a Girl Wants’, go to www.liver.ca!
Be careful what you wish for……..
Last Friday my husband Rob and I had dinner in the market then went to get the car at the city parking lot, where ‘lo and behold’, there was Ottawa Senator Mike Fisher at the parking payment machine! I of course immediately ran away. Not sure why, maybe its because I was worried about saying something completely unintelligible, which happens when I meet certain famous people. Rob had to go to the payment machine so he and Mike Fisher chatted away about this and that….play-offs, injuries, etc etc. I finally re-appeared only to see Mike Fisher drive away in a big black SUV. Sheesh. I missed my opportunity to say something to him like…..hmmm…what a sunny day it was today and tomorrow’s forecast looks good too.
Speaking of the Senators, the regular season starts this week and everyone is SO pumped about it , they have been incredible in the pre-season!! GO SENS GO !! It starts Wednesday night in T.O against our favourite rivals, the Maple Laffs. Keep listening to BOB FM, on the ‘Morning After’ we will be giving away tickets for Thursday night’s home opener against, yes, once again, the ‘Maple Laffs’. We look forward to another great year, and remember, if you are stuck in traffic behind Ray Emery, he always has the right of way.
