Gonna post pics of last weeks winners, with a question underneath about people celebrating a birthday today. One guess per person.

This time we went into a creepy old tunnell at 27th and Pennsylvania. We thought we’d find a mystery down there, but mostly we just found trash. It was still fun, though. Enjoy.

Congratulations to William, who squeaked past Benny in the 1st annual Alf Landon Bad Writing contest. William won with the following sentence: Alf Landon had wooden legs, but his feet were real. Congratulations to William, who goes home with 2 tickets to the Academy of Natural Sciences and a $20 gift card to the Bards. Thanks to everyone who played. We’ll do it again soon with a new celebrity.

Good Dog at 8 p.m., Bards at 10:15 p.m. At Good Dog, it’s anybodies ballgame. At Bards, well, to paraphrase Ric Flair, “To Be the Team, You Gotta Beat the Team.”

In other news, got a couple of things on TotalPhilly you might be interested in. First of all, I blast the Inquirer for their latest ill-schemed plan. It’s really a crying shame. Speaking of a shame, how ’bout those Eagles, holding out on the $8 million they owe the city? Yes, you heard right, the Eagles refuse to pay $8 million, which is exactly how much money the city plans to save by scrapping libraries.

Here it is, how to tell if she’s really just not that into you.

Mike D of the Beastie Boys and Sen Dog of Cypress Hill are both turning 43 today. Alright, I gotta get back to work on this Mystery video. Hope to get it up later today.

You know the deal. Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m., Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Hope to see you there!

The Free Library has started the $10 Challenge, and we here at JGTHQ are in total support of it. I am asking you to please, please donate $10 toward keeping our libraries open!

Alright, so here’s where we stand as of now. I went down to the Navy Yard this morning to look at the Urban Outfitters space. Unfortunately, I would need to hire their sound people, and that is way too expensive. So that’s out. I then called the PhillyCruise people, because they have another nice spot down there. Again, too expensive. The Kimmel Center sounded really into it, but then surprisingly dropped out at the last minute. In better news, Trivia Art gave me a good hookup and I’ve got some people looking into venues. Also, thinking about looking into that giant Chinese restaurant in South Philly, New Golden Palace. They have a stage and tons of room, we could do a Chinese theme, and then have an afterparty maybe at Connie’s Ric Rac. The Blue Horizon is still there for the taking if nothing comes through in the next couple of weeks, so if worse comes to worse we’ll do it there again. If anybody has any suggestions, drop them below in comments.

We kick off at O’Neals, where Steve-O will be hosting his first Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular (I have a private gig). For those of you wondering where you can grab a seat, O’Neals has been pretty wide slam open for the last couple of weeks. Should have no problem getting a table. Kick off at 8 p.m., then I will be hosting at the Bards at 10:15 p.m., as usualy. Hope to see you tonight.
