Trivial pursuit
If you want to be king or queen of random knowledge, you can be. There are leagues and rankings. Here are some places where you can go to play: http://www.kingtrivia.com/wheretoplay.php
Some Valley locations are in Sherman Oaks (The Cork Lounge, Robin Hood British Pub), N. Hollywood (The Federal Bar, Pitfire Pizza NoHo), Encino (Prohibition Burgers & Beer), Van Nuys (Pineapple Hill Saloon), Woodland Hills (The White Harte, Picwick's Pub), Calabasas (Sagebrush Cantina), Burbank (Barney's Beanery, Moore's Deli).
Their 2 primary rules seem to be "have fun" and "don't be lame" (don't cheat; don't act stupidly; don't challenge the Quizmaster). For those of you that live and breathe trivia, this might be fun.
