Smoking Dog...pub quiz anyone?


Pub quiz anyone?  Or for those confused by that term, trivia?  Yes indeed there is trivia here in Lyon…and not just at one bar!  It is played both in English and in French and different bars have it on different days.  So this is how it works, you MUST arrive at least an hour early in order to find seats because the bar becomes absolutely PACKED with people.  In fact the other day we went to meet up with some people and could hard get through rowding English singing and jumping futbol fans.  It turns out they were pre-partying for the Liverpool vs Lyon futbal match taking place the following day.  It was absolutely crazy.  Well anyway, there are three parts to the game.  The first part includeds a sheet of paper with a ton of images on it.  You must identify who they are.  Then there is a section of about 20 questions that two announcers pose to the audience.   Why two announcers?  Because one says the question in English and they other says it in FRENCH! Then the third part of the quiz is the music portion where you must identify title an artist.  At the end of the night you find out who wins and it doesn’t just stop there.  In order to earn your money one of the team mates MUST dance on the bar!  Good fun but sometimes there are just too many people!
