Tonight’s the Night


Alright, kids. Tonight is the night. Doors open at 5 p.m. Show starts at 6 p.m. The sooner you show up the better because it will be easier to combine smaller teams. It looks like the tables are more or less sold out, but I do have some room for singles and doubles. So if you wanna scramble to add a couple of people to your team, that could probably work. See ya tonight.

A Few Final Notes

First of all, I expect to be sold out by the end of the day. I have about 25 tickets left. If you have not already bought tickets, please do so ASAP. You can try to walk up tomorrow in case someone cancels, but it’s gonna be highly unlikely. Here’s the details. If anyone has any questions, email me today.

TIME: Doors open at 5 p.m. Show starts at 6 p.m. sharp. I expect to be done by 9 p.m.
LOCATION: New Golden Palace. Corner of 8th and Washington.
ENTERTAINMENT: Hall and Oates cover band, as well a Chinese Lion Troupe. Also, a trailer of the Quizzo Documentary done last year to kick off the festivities.
VIP: Teams that dress up will get the VIP treatment. You will get the closest tables, and if at all possible I will try to deliver beer to your table at some point during the evening. You will also get a team photo from our professional photographer. (If more than 15 teams dress up, it’s gonna be the first 15 who get the first three rows.)
QUESTIONS: Questions will be a little tougher than usual, but not too brutal. There will be some multiple choice questions to even out the playing field. (Deal with it, nerds). 12 questions per round. You will not get sheets back after each round, so if you want to doublecheck your scores, you might want to keep a copy of your answers.
FOOD AND DRINK: Beer and wine will be provided free of charge, though I do expect you to take good care of your bartenders Corey and Liz. (No-one under 21 y/o will be admitted to the show. No exceptions!) Food will be available for an additional charge.
PARKING: Street parking. I don’t think it’s gonna be too bad on Washington at that time of day. If you are going to drink then by all means take a cab.
AFTERPARTY: The afterparty will be upstairs at Downey’s on Front and South Street Street starting at 9:30 p.m. There will be live music there too (No, not Hall and Oates tunes. Three sets of that should be plenty). It’s gonna be free admission, but please bring a few bones to tip the band! Lagers will be $2.50 a pop.
HOW MUCH RAPPING WILL THERE BE AT THIS EVENT? None.

The Nova Game

Yes, the Nova game will be played during Quizzo Bowl V. I am shocked that the NCAA would do this to me. I guess this is payback for my harsh words in the past about the BCS. Anyways, here’s the deal. They do have a TV at the Palace, and I’m pretty sure it can get the game. However, I’m not gonna have the game running during the whole quiz. Too distracting. But the Nova game starts at 7:05 and I expect to be done with questions at around 8:30. So barring some sort of slowdown or problem, you should be able to catch crunch time of the game. I’m not making any promises, but I’ll see what I can do. Also, while you are welcome to check the game scores on your phone during breaks, you will not be allowed to have any electronic device during game play or your team will be eliminated.

Quick Notes About QBV

qb5-thumb-284x191.jpg
Just wanna answer a few questions I’ve been getting. First of all, we are going to need to maximize space, so smaller teams will be matched with teams that need a couple of people. Again, having a small team is OK, but we’re just gonna have to do some sorting around once we get there. Team maximum is 8. I am excited about the fact that it seems like a lot of teams are dressing up. I’m gonna save the first three rows for teams that dress up. If more than 15 dress up, then priority will be given to the first ones who arrive. Doors open at 5 p.m., show starts at 6 p.m. SHARP. Their will be 48 questions, 4 rounds of 12 each. The questions will be tougher than usual. I do have lots of gift certificates to give away as well, so we’ll have lots of winners. Finally, and this is very important: I will not be rapping at this event.
