Could It Be?

Thanks to an impassioned facebook message from none other than Dan Press...the founders of Washington Squares are currently in talks to bring back everyone's favorite trivia game. Stay tuned for details, and see whether we're going to continue from where we left off or start a new game completely.

Brief Hiatus

Washington Squares is on pause for a bit, while I work my crazy 18-hour-a-day summer job and Tracy works on moving to a different city. Your patience is greatly appreciated during this difficult time.

Game #12- additional information

1. When I said "Melissa was successful in finding the answer, so it's not too hard." I didn't mean that Melissa is dumb, making the game easy. I meant that since she got the answer, we felt it wasn't too hard to put up as a game. Sorry, Mel.

2. Allen Ginsberg's name is spelled 2 different ways. We realize this and felt the 2 spellings were necessary. That's all you're getting.
