Needles in a Haystack....Liberal minds in North Atlanta

10/6 Recap: First Place and a beer! Tied for first at the half, ahead by two before the final, and a great team effort discerned the chronological of four noteworthy events from the 1990s to secure victory. And remember, most bats are NOT blind; In fact, they see quite well. Their echolocation is useful inside dark caves, but they still need to be able to see outside the caves.

ALL: Do not let the waitlist discourage you from signing up. People often have to cancel at the last minute. When that happens, you move up the list and often spots will open as soon as an hour before the game starts.

For any of you Needles out there who've wanted to join us for trivia night but wanted it closer to the 575, this is for you!

The game starts at 7:30, but the reservations are for 6:45 in case you want to arrive earlier to order food and drinks, kibbitz, or strategize about how we will crush our enemies on the trivia field. (Trivia court? Trivia pitch?)

Let's get some new faces and some old faces, or new old faces or old new faces, whatever it takes.

Come celebrate the spirit of the season viewing Roswell's 8th annual scarecrow event on Historic Canton Street. Over 60 scarecrows made by businesses, schools, non profit clubs and regular families line Canton Street. The scarecrow display is a popular autumn tradition in historic downtown Roswell, and taking a stroll in the evening is a classic way to enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Plan is to walk up Canton Street to the Vick and turn back on the other side of the street. Walk will be at a leisure pace with total mileage under 2 miles.

If there is interest we can stop for a drink or dinner in one of the fabulous restaurants along the way.

We will meet at the corner of Canton Street and Magnolia Street at 6pm. There is a paid parking lot right there. I believe it is $10 but there is a free lot right behind it. We can also park across the street at Roswell City Hall which is free parking. The address to city hall is 38 Hill Street. Please allow enough time to find parking and meet us at the meeting spot by 6pm

10/8/25 Recap: The difference between first place and not placing at all came down to knowing the color of middle ring of the Olympics logo. We had a choice between black and blue, and we whiffed. Granted, having a final question all based on colors when the team wrangler is colorblind seems a tad unfair, perhaps a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, though it's only a matter of time until Trump repeals that entirely...

We are pleased to announce the new Needless in a Haystack Trivia night at Hudson Grille in Kennesaw! Table reservations are for 6:45pm, game starts at 7:30pm.

If you couldn't make any of the previous Needles trivia nights due to the day of the week or location, perhaps this will be the venue for you. We're looking forward to making new friends and maybe some returning old friends.

(Note: The Monday and Thursday trivia nights are not changing. The Monday night team has grown so large that many people found themselves unable to join or stuck on the waitlist due to the limited seating capacity.)

We're moving trivia (Wednesday trivia) that was at Tony's/Showdown to Brimstone in Alpharetta, which is held on Thursday night. Brimstone has a large room dedicated to trivia. Sue is still running the game and she and others were delighted to see us come back.

Food is better and the atmosphere seems more conducive to a fun night. Come join us.

The name of the restaurant is Brimstone, formally Fire and Brimstone.
