WOW!!! All I have to say is WOW!!! It came from humble beginnings… A young Texas transplant with a dream of bringing semi-hot nerdy-ness together with copious amounts of alcohol… A desire to create Denver’s ‘Trivia Empire’… A laptop, a business license and the power of Wikipedia at his fingertips….  Sunday night, it felt like many things came together as Buzzwordz shot a promotional marketing video at one of Denver’s hottest new spots, The Ginn Mill.

A thousand thank you’s go out to everyone who has made time in their lives to support Buzzwordz.  I know I felt proud to be part of a Revolution Sunday night; I hope you did too!

The studio lights weren’t the only bright thing at the Ginn Mill that night.  Eight ferocious teams went head-to-head against a marvelous set of questions.  It was another tight race the whole game but in the end, only three teams could be victorious… A huge pat on the back to Green Peas, Team Tavern, and Take a Name for their valiant efforts!  One of my all-time favorite teams, Doom Theatre (who have made an alliance with another one of my favorite teams, Trashcat) A-L-M-O-S-T edged into rank this week.  I AM FEELING IT FOR YOU NEXT WEEK!!

As for TOP DAWGS: Yard Sale, (knocked off the #1 spot!!!) came in 3^rd…

Client #9 (if you don’t get it, START PAYING ATTENTION!) in 2^nd…

…and Wu Tang (reunited at last!) took the #1 Top Spot!

I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next week!  See you there!

XOXO

Where should we begin tonight’s twisted tale??  One of the greatest things about hosting trivia at JR’s is that you NEVER know what might happen before the end of the show.

Tonight was no exception!!  We had a great turn-out at ol’ Junior’s; even owner Larry McDonald a.k.a. Roxy Rubenstein stuck around for the festivities, interjecting his own brand of flair and spice to the game.  The icing on the cake, I believe, was when Ms. Rubenstein hijacked the laptop, skipped right through the second break and started Round 3 out of nowhere!  It’s a good thing we love you, Larry, and our teams did what they had to do to ride out Roxy’s turbulence!

Then we had some birthday shots-a-flowin’ which tried it’s best keep us from getting those questions right.  These teams were too strong to let a lil’ booze interrupt their play!! Let’s call it ‘managed alcoholism’.  Love you guys!

Then, we had the introduction of Ms. Bermuda Triangle, the latest drag creation made out of JR’s newest floorback.  You are much cuter as a boy, lets keep it that way!

Results: King Prawns ALMOST had enough to place tonight but that 2nd round took its toll… The Gutter Snipes landed 3rd, Robot Vagina in 2nd and Planet Unicorn, some friends from the early days at JR’s, took 1st!  Welcome back, y’all!

See you all next week!!

XOXO

It couldn’t have been a closer game tonight…. The final outcome for over half of our teams was decided by the last Tie-breaker of the game.  Each round also saw Tie-breaker action which proved to us how important every question on the game is.

Teams hard at work

Yard Sale again tasted the sweet flavor of victory in the form of ANTHER 1st place win.  We need someone to step up and take this BAMF Dynasty DOWN once and for all!! Trashcat tried with all their might to pick up one in the W column but saw demise in the ending Tie-breaker action.  Next week, right!  Doom Theatre picked up 3rd and some bar shwag and Public Enemy had what it took to make to 2nd!

King Prawns

WE ARE STARTING AT 7:00 p.m. NEXT WEEK DUE TO THE ST. PATTY’S HOLIDAY!!!! Please try to make it out since we will be shooting a marketing video next week as we continue to grow Buzzwordz into a TRIVIA EMPIRE!  Can’t wait to see you there!

XOXO

Play started tonight with everything seemingly standard…. NWA, the house team, stationed at the corner of the bar in their regular spot, Trashcat and Doom Theatre engaged in some simple merger talks to maximize their resources to try to topple the top dogs, and Yard Sale was gathered around their usual stomping grounds, relaxed as ever coming off a few weeks on #1 showings.

As the night continued, things didn’t look good for our champs, loosing the first round by a small margin.  ‘This could be the night that Rome falls,’ the other teams wondered.   Throughout the second round play was too close to call.  Lots of teams had impressive showings.  Alas, Yard Sale wound up winning Round 2 by the skin of their teeth.

Round 3 was INCREDIBLE!!! More than half our teams scored over 20 pts for the round and no one knew who would take it… Your Mom joined us late and came in last simply due to the amount of questions missed (we start @ 7:30p, folks!).  NWA and Trashcat played off in a final Tie-breaker question and NWA  came within 7 games of the correct answer!

Once the dust settled, Trashcat came in 3rd, NWA took 2nd and the newly-named B.A.M.F. Dynasty, the Yard Sale, was victorious again!  Come join us next week and take down this Dynasty!!!

XOXO

Hey gang, it was another great night down at everyone’s favorite neighborhood bar.  There’s nothing a true player hates more the than a drunk loudmouth stumbling in, reading a question and proceeding to SHOUT OUT the f***ing answer!!!!  The J.R.’s crew knew how to handle Mr. Loudmouth… continual ridicule, embarrassment and degradation until they shut their big YAPPER!!  Nice work crew!

Here’s tonight’s final results: Robot Vagina swept through and landed 3rd.  I’ve never had a team SOO obsessed with how they stood up to the competition the whole game.  We love you still!  McLovin, returning for a 2nd week, scored 2nd overall.  They couldn’t have been happier with their $50 bar tab!  The Gutter Snipes (eww!) apparently surfaced long enough to WIN tonight!! Big surprise… Mustang Sally was involved in the win….

See ya next week!

XOXO

Kyle

The great “axe wound” was the theme of the night after our Godfather question…. Nice work, Dartmouth.  I hope you liked you warm well vodka shot!  Next time, we’re enforcing the warm gin rule.

The play was fierce tonight!  The Oscars kept us entertained throughout the night, but Kodak Theater wasn’t the only place with big winners tonight.  Supreme Goddess, Devil Dawg and Captain Bobby brought home 3rd, Fire Drill in 2nd and the MF-in’ Yardsale came in 1st AGAIN!  Welcome back Josh.

See you messes next week!

XOXO

Kyle

It was another great PACKED night of trivia here at Junior’s…  Gotta love 15+ teams playing…. Made for a fun time!  Welcome T.R. from Brooklyn stopping through on his way to Seattle stopping through and playing some triv. Didn’t do too bad either…

The results: King Prawns came in 3rd, Obe Come Blow Me rocked 2nd and Sally’s Sluts landed 1st!  Can’t wait to see next week’s stats!

XOXO

Kyle

It was another stellar night here at Ginn Mill with Buzzwordz drawing a great crowd for a game full of ups and downs!  Congrats to our boy Josh from Yard Sale getting into Duke Law (as a back-up!).  Josh is a power player on the team but it seems he was here in spirit… Yard Sale scored a whopping 44 overall in his absence.  WOW!!

The results: The Baddies (formerly B&A, the house team) rallied late to make 3rd,  Doom Theatre is back in a money slot coming in 2nd and of course, Yard Sale took home the cake!  We miss ya Josh… kinda. LOL

See ya next week!

XOXO

This was a very special night for JR’s and Buzzwordz. A fellow nightly entertainer at JR’s father was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Last night, one bar well was dedicated to benefit Lino’s dad and Buzzwordz was there to support the cause. An anonymous patron bought 100 $1 draughts from that well, a very humble gesture, and Buzzword matched 50% of his contribution. Overall, we raised over $1150 to help the family through this tough time.

Trivia was a TON of fun too!! With 16 teams playing, Buzzwordz truly was a show of force! Thanks to all my Qwest folks who came out to play!

The results: IDK my BFF Jill posted 3rd, J.R.’s Urinals aka Dysfunctional (lol, if you hang at J.R.’s, you know what they’re talking about!) came in 2nd and King Prawns came back on top landing 1st! Good job KP!

See you next Monday!

XOXO

Kyle

What’s up all my Ginn Mill-ers?!  Thanks for another awesome night; what a tight game we had all night!!!  We miss you Alleycats… come back and join us soon.  All of you who were there know just what they missed out on.

The results: High Men (eww..) scored 3rd, Thurst and Howe III, with the help of “The Other Jimmy” in Round Three rallied into 2nd and the most feared team in all of Buzzwordz Trivia, Yard Sale, blasted into 1st!!!

Catch you cats on the FLIP!

XOXO

Kyle

Despite the weather, we had a great game of trivia Weds night at Mary’s.  J.R.’s made their way across the street to rival the house leaders.  A big thanks to Jackie Summers for being the biggest loud-mouth b*tch in the house.  = ) Love ya, Jackie!

 The results: Mustang Sally picked up 3rd, King Prawns scored 2nd and Bobbie’s Balls (eww) held the lead the whole game and finished 1st!  Nice work boys!

See ya next week!

XOXO

Kyle

It was a great show despite some visual technical difficulties… I promise we will have it fixed for next week’s show!  Thanks to all those who stuck around through the end.  We TOTALLY made it work.  This was a tough set but you guys sure triumphed!

The results:  Mustang Sally hit 3rd, King Prawns (showing up in FORCE tonight!) scored 2nd and  Bo’s Ho’s, some newcomers, ROCKED the whole game landing in 1st!

See you next week all patched up!

XOXO

-Kyle

Well, it used to be the house was the team to topple, but it appears there’s a new sheriff in town…  We will be back in two weeks (off for Superbowl Sunday) to see if anyone can off our new reigning champs!

The results:  Trashcat landing 3rd, The Tom Brady Bunch in 2nd and Yard Sale (pronounced with a true New England accent) triumphs again.  SOMEONE COME CHALLENGE THESE GUYS!!!

See you post-Superbowl!!

XOXO

Kyle

Oh Mary’s- it could be the kitchy-est spot to grab a burger in this town, but who knew how SMART these teams could be?!?  Excellent play by all our teams this week!  Make sure you stay tuned to find out more about the infamous PATIO-style trivia (as the weather heats up, of course).

 The results: Team Bobo was no so dumb and jogged into 3rd, Whole Wheat with Nuts landed 2nd and Jan’s John and friends struck gold in 1st place!  Two weeks in a row; should we be nervous??

See you next week-

XOXO

Kyle

Another HOT night of trivia rolling through JR’s this Monday!  How great it is to see you de-lovelies back for more fun!  No more parties, no more ANYTHING… just for awesome trivia!

Here’s how it stood: Beaverhausen’s locked in 3rd, Slutty Oysters came in 2nd and  Mustang Sally, our winners from Mary’s last week, took home 1st!

Until next week!

XOXO

Kyle

As a Bears fan, I probably shouldn’t comment on my feelings on the results of the OT victory of the NY Giants this Sunday at the Ginn Mill before trivia.  We rolled out the new layout this week and boy, HOW AWESOME IS THIS!

Thanks to all those who came for trivia! The results: Trashcat rocked into 3rd (again), The Lorax in 2nd and Yard Sale reclaiming their 1st Place title!  WOO HOO!

See you sexy boys and girls next week!

XOXO

Kyle

OMG, is this a gay bar?  LOL LOVE the crowd last night!  We had a ton of fun but don’t worry if you missed it, we will be here next week!

For the finale, Desperate Threesome, our winners from last week, came in late and took 3rd, Jan’s John flew into 2nd and Mustang Sally, playing stag (til the end), finished 1st!!

See you for another GREAT time next week!

XOXO

Kyle

NO trivia this week this week due to the 7th Anniversary of JR’s.  Here’s to another 7 great years!

Another great set of trivia with TONS of recurring faces.  It’s so great to feel the love from all you cats.  This block of Larimer is where it’s at in this town and Buzzwordz is right up in the action!

The results!  Trashcat, 3rd place again.  Next week, I’m feelin’ your victory! King Prawns grabbed 2nd and The Lee Marvin Gardens, last week’s J-train, grabbed 1st again.  PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE KNOCK THESE GUYS OUT OF 1st?!  (Love you guys!)

See you next week!

XOXO

Kyle

The weather couldn’t keep everyone away from trivia last night… The teams that played did awesome!  Gotta love listening to the ‘Who’s the Boss?’ theme song after the Tony Danza question. Great work DJ Jack-e-o.

Three could come out victorious. Trojens in 3rd, R/J in 2nd, and the Buzzards in 1st!  See you sexy punks next week!

XOXO

Kyle
