   Bunch of drunk nerds in our basement swapping trivia like it’s spit at a drama club cast party. Who’s going to lose their glasses first?

    My greatest achievement tonight was that I answered a Ke$ha-related question at Nerd Jeopardy.

14. Congrats to the “Poorly Informed Hecklers,” who beat “Lady and the Tramps” by one point. (Third place went to the scrappy “Phony Morrisons.”)
    The winning trio received hardcover copies of Zadie Smith’s NW, Errol Morris’ A Wilderness of Error, Nate Silver’s The Signal and The Noise, and Scott Hutchins’ A Working Theory of Love. (Mr. Hutchins also made an appearance in our Video Daily Double, at the very same moment he was reading at BookCourt across town.)
