The Gathering


This past Saturday, four of the Fabulous Five (we were minus Mike P.) gathered at Chez Stormy for a spirited bout of Scene It Seinfeld.

Eric, aka Jackie Chiles, dominated the dojo, winning two out of three games and finishing second in the one he lost to yours truly. (How he dominated while not knowing why the ocean called George, I'll never know.)

It was a great time and the results are most certainly not indicative of each person's knowledge of Seinfeld. A lot had to do with unlucky rolls of the dice, either resulting in minimal movement around the board (Mike O.) or "buzz cards", which are momentum killers. (Johnny V.)

The game itself didn't disappoint. I was concerned that the questions would be too easy for dedicated fans such as ourselves, but that wasn't the case. Sure there were really easy ones, but there were more than enough questions that had us all stumped.

The clips that we saw were great and covered the entire run of the show. My personal favorites were the clips shown once someone had won the game. (Elaine clapping at the spinning tires from "The Abstinence" and Kramer riding the bike through Jerry's apartment from "The Seven".)

The beauty of the game is the dialogue it inspires. We laughed more talking about different moments that we thought of on our own than we did at the ones the game reminded us of.

All in all it was a great day and hopefully we can do it again soon.

I'd write the game a solid A and recommend it to any Seinfeld fan.
