After the success of our first public event in Melbourne in September, Kill Your Darlings decided to spread the literary love across the nation and ran another trivia night in Adelaide on Wednesday the 28th of October. Held at the delightful ‘Wheaty‘, nine tables battled it out through five rounds of literary trivia (and many more rounds of beer).

The competition was fierce, and when the final tally was added up, two tables were still neck-and-neck. The Kill Your Darlings editors decided that a tiebreaker was called for, and both tables were asked to each send a delegate up to the stage for a final sudden-death question. After a few tense moments of silence a winner was declared, and after a brief victory dance upon the stage, the successful delegate retired to his table amidst much cheering.

A huge thanks to all the Radelaideans who came along to support us on the 28th. We had a ball – we hope you did too! Thank you, also, to the ABC Shop, Dymocks, Paroxysm Press, The Body Shop and Unibooks for kindly donating prizes.
