So I know that trivia is pretty big in the local pubs around the bay area.

The dive I am currently working in is looking at doing the same thing on my main night that I work, I am excited about this because I love trivia.

Thing is I am new to the area and the owner and i am not sure exactly how it works.

Such as I know other places has someone else come in and run it kind of like karaoke i guess in that sense. Do the have electronical equipment? Do they use paper? How is it exactly run? And how do we find one of these guru's to hire????

    I wish I knew! There is a place half a block from me that has a trivia night, but I've never been. It's called Bacchus Kirk. I'll check it out and see what I can learn.

    I've been to the Mad Dog on Thursdays several times (my friend goes EVERY week) and there is a guy who runs it - I think he is or was the owner or manager of the bar. He has a microphone and announces the questions and answers that way. Everyone writes their answers (and their group names) down on paper and turns them in after each round. Now who comes up with the questions, that I'm not sure of!

      yeah. my first thought regarding this was Mad Dog as well. they've had a pretty long-running trivia night for a while now. if i were you, i'd pop in one of these nights and chat up the MC.
