FIRST: If you haven’t signed your team in already, please do so NOW.
SECOND: We are sold out, BUT if you’re on a team that needed to add a player or two, you can still buy tickets. Just email me at johnny at johnnyggodtimes dot com if that’s the case.
WHO: Teams of up to 8 players.
WHAT: Quizzo Bowl XIX, the Grandaddy of Them All.
WHEN: This Sunday, February 16th. Doors at 3 PM, show starts at 4 PM.
WHERE: Yards Brewing, on 5th and Spring Garden.
WHY: Why not?
WILL THERE BE LIVE MUSIC? Yep, Philly’s pre-eminent zydeco band, James Day and the Fish Fry, is going to be playing New Orleans jams all afternoon.
ARE THESE GUYS GOOD? Absolutely.
IS THERE A THEME? Not really, it’s a general quiz. I’d expect a few questions about New Orleans. Our buddy Reef the Lost Cauze will be helping us out with the music round. 6 rounds overall, 48 questions.
ARE THERE ANY TICKETS LEFT? Yep, about 10 tickets remain. Once those are gone, it’s a wrap. If you wanna be the last team in, sign up here.
QUICK REQUEST: Team captains, please fill in this form, so we know what teams are attending. We’ll also see if there are any more tables available for potential extra attendees. Also, if your team got tickets but you were unable to before it sold out, please shoot me a line at johnny at johnnygoodtimes dot com and we’ll see if there’s anything we can do.
WHAT ELSE? I’m requesting that everyone wear green, pruple, and gold (or at least green). And Fastball Bob will be there. Best of all, Chip Chantry will NOT be there. It’s a win-win.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE WIN? You enter the Realm of Immortals. In 18 previous years, we’ve had 8 different winners. Could your team be the 9th? Previous winners are:
- The Champs
- Sofa Kingdom
- Lambda
- Guys in Prison
- Cracked Pact
- Meatloaf
- Boyz II Menehune
- The Special Masters
PRIZES? Yep, we’ll be doing raffles and giveaways all night long. Plus $1000 worth of prizes for the top 3 finishers. And a prize for 13th place. Oh and a trophy for the winner. With flames on it.
EVENT PAGE: Here’s the Facebook page for the Quizzo Bowl. Will be the best place for up to the minute info on the Bowl as we get closer, and for attendees to post photos when we’re done.
WILL THERE BE AN AFTERPARTY? Yep, we’re not gonna go anywhere, we’ll just have the afterparty at Yards. Why not? We’re already in a building full of beer! Run of Show is below. Can’t wait to see you all there!
