Here’s a little something to get you excited as you head into the final weekend of summer: we’re gonna do an Arrested Development quiz next Sunday, September 9th at the Trestle Inn (11th and Callowhill). Action starts at 8 p.m. More details coming next week, but just thought I’d whet your appetite. We’re gonna have such a Funke good time, you’ll think you just blue yourself!

That is correct folks, we’re headed back to the street of Baltimore this weekend. Last year’s quiz on the Wire was an instant classic, and this one promises to be great as well. It’s going down this Sunday at 8 p.m. at the Trestle Inn. Drink specials, great mac n cheese, great prizes, and plenty of questions about Omar, Bunk, and Bubbles. See ya there on Sunday!

We’ve got a very fun plan for Sunday. The big time Philly Quiz is going down at the Trestle Inn (11th and Callowhill) at 6:30 p.m. Let’s see exactly how much you know about your home city: there will be questions on everything from Aramingo to Zahav, questions on everyone from Frank Furness to Frank Rizzo. Sports, history, food, you name it, I’m going to try to cover as much ground as possible. This is going to be a celebration of the city. I sense that this could very well be a 5-rounder.

Furthermore, more great drink specials this time as well. $3 local canned beers (Sly Fox Pikeland Pils, Lancaster Rumspringa, and Yuengling) and $4 for their excellent Whiskey Sour. $5 gets you a shot of whiskey and a can of PBR. Gonna be a lot of fun. Oh, and double points for the JGTSpI.

And to get you in the mood, I’ll be posting Philly trivia questions all week on twitter.

UPDATE: Start time has been moved back to 6:30 sharp. I mean, let’s face it, when I say 6 I pretty much mean 6:30 anyway, but we just wanted to make sure we gave people time to get down there after watching the Flyers game. So start time is 6:30 sharp.

We’ve done a quiz for The Wire. We’ve done a quiz for Twin Peaks. It’s time to do another one of the greatest shows in TV history. Mad Men. I am a huge fan of the show, and have been wanting to do this for a while. So it’s going down a few hours before the season 5 premiere. On Sunday, March 25th at the Trestle Inn (11th and Callowhill), we’re going to find out how much you know about Don Draper, Roger Sterling, Peggy Olsen and Madison Avenue in the 1960s. This is going to be an insanely fun quiz, and we’re doing it at a bar that specializes in 60s cocktails. I specifically wanted to host it there so we could catch that 60s vibe, and the Trestle Inn is perfect.

In addition to quizzo prizes, we’re also going to give a prize for best Mad Men outfit. Action starts at 5:30 p.m., so we’ll be done and drunk off martinis before heading home to see the season premiere at 9 p.m. Please click “Like” below to help spread the word. I don’t want any fans of Mad Men to miss this. I thought The Wire quiz was insanely good. I have almost as much respect for this show as I do for The Wire, so I plan on writing an equally awesome quiz. Don’t miss it.

Alright, rasslin’ fans, this one is gonna be real to you, damnit! My buddy Bryce is a ref for Chikara Wrestling and we’ve been talking forever about doing a wrestling quiz. Well, now’s the time. In anticipation of their huge High Noon Event on November 13th at the Asylum Arena at 7 West Ritner, we’re going to do a pro wrestling quiz this Sunday. Questions will cover all aspects of pro wrestling, from finishing moves to entrance music to great matches. All pro wrestling will be covered, but there will be an emphasis on the 1980s and 90s, primarily WWF and WCW. But don’t worry, underground fans, we’ll work the AWA and ECW into the mix as well.

Action goes down at the POPE this Sunday at 7 p.m. In addition to prizes for our winners, we’ll also have prizes for best Wrestling outfit and best wrestler impersonation. This is gonna be a ton of fun, or my name ain’t Johnny “The Mouth of the South” Goodtimes.

Love science? Want to help raise money for a terrific cause? Looking to get your team in the hunt of the JGT Autumn Invitational and try to win a $200 gift certificate? Then be sure to make it out to City Tap House this Sunday for a Science Spectacular and help raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. There will be over $350 in prizes for the Top 3 finishers, as well as raffle prizes to give away throughout the evening.

Former quizzo regular Andi (who used to play for Axis of Evil Knieval), was diagnosed with lymphoma recently. Her treatments are going well, and thanks to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, her expenses have been kept very low. In return, she’d like to do something for them. So she, Kristy, and Koob are going to host a science quizzo fundraiser this Sunday at City Tap House. Action starts at 6 (Though it may be adjusted, depending on what the Phils do).

CTH is being generous enough to offer some great prizes for the winners. $200 for the winners, $100 for 2nd, $50 for 3rd. There will also be raffles throughout the evening, with gift certificates to the Sidecar, Divan, tix to an upcoming North Star show and 2 tickets to the Mayor’s Box at a Flyers game among the many giveaways. Tickets are $10 each with the money all going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Furthermore, there will be double points offered in the JGT Autumn Invitational. 10 points for the winners, 6 points for 2nd, and 2 for 3rd. Hope you and your team can make it out to this great event!
