FAQs About Quizzo Bowl V!


Alright, kids, just gonna answer a few questions I’ve been getting about Quizzo Bowl V, so you know where we stand as we get ready to head down the homestretch.
WHEN: March 28th. Doors Open at 5:00 p.m., Trivia starts at 6:00 p.m.
WHERE: New Golden Palace. 8th and Washington.
WHAT: The world’s premier quizzo competition, Quizzo Bowl V will determine who will be crowned the Best Team in Quizzo.
PRIZE MONEY: Bumping it up this year. Winning team walks with $800 cash, 2nd place gets $400, 3rd place gets $200.
ENTERTAINMENT: Haulin’ Oats, a Hall and Oates cover band, will perform between rounds. I am working on the halftime show. There is also talk of another Philly music legend making a appearance. More on that next week. Also, before the game begins, we’ll be showing the debut movie trailer to the Quizzo Documentary that was shot last year.
TICKETS: Tickets can be purchased in one of two places. Either by going online and purchasing them here, or by buying them from me at quizzo next week. The tickets are $25 (there is a $1.62 surcharge for ordering online) and that includes not only the show but also beer and wine. They will be $30 at the door.
FOOD: The New Golden Palace will be selling dim sum.
TEAM MAXIMUM: Team maximum is 8 players. Any team with less than 6 players will share a table with another small team or possibly team up. Which is fine, but we just have to maximize space so that as many people can play as want to. I am expecting a sellout, so get your tickets early!

If you have any further questions, please feel free to shoot me an email.

Quizzo News and Notes

newgolden.jpg
First off, no Quizzo at the Good Dog tonight. Ok, so that means no new quiz at Bards (same quiz as Tuesday). I have a million projects going on right now and can use the extra time. As for Quizzo Bowl, a few notes:

  • Tickets are selling well. We’re up around 30 sold in the first few days, and really none of the regulars have bought yet.
  • Please get your team together and then buy tickets! It just makes things much easier for all of us. It’s gonna be packed in tight that night, so I need to maximize the seats we have. I need to make sure to not oversell of undersell, and since I’m a knucklehead, I’ll never figure it out if people keep buying tix two at a time. So try to put the team together and get your money right, if at all possible. Thanks!
  • Yes, the rumors are true. The between round entertainment will be a Hall and Oates cover band. There are also rumors of a Philly music legend also joining us for a short set. I am still working on the halftime act.
  • I will have tickets on me tonight at the Bards. Tickets are also available online.
  • Team maximum is 8 people. If you have a team of less than 6 people, expect to have another team to share your table or team up with you.

How to Totally Rock a First Date

A friend of mine went to check out her match.com account this morning, and this was what was written at the bottom right hand corner of her screen:

Apparently the message got cut off a little early. But anything it was supposed to say was much less true than what actually came up. Ladies, in case you were curious, that is precisely how you totally rock a first date.

Underground Legend “Wheel of Terrific” on Chip Chantry One Man Show Monday!

The Wheel of Terrific is the most ridiculous game show ever created, and response through the years has been…wildy varying. There are some who absolutely love it and find it hilarious. And then there are hipsters, who hate it. So will it be a crowd delight on Monday night, or will it fall flat on it’s face? Who knows, but either way, you win! In addition to the Wheel, there is gonna be comedy from Adrian DiGiovanni from Chicago, Julie Smith (from New Jersey!), sketch group Secret Pants, and headliner Steve Gerben. And I’m gonna tell the story of how I almost got my ass beat at quizzo last night. The first two shows have been AWESOME, and I think this one will be no different. For more info, click here.

Charity Poker Tourney This Weekend! At least $4,000 in Prize Money!

Hey kids, Steve O. wanted me to pass this along. Sounds like a lot of fun, and it’s for a great cause, the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief. For more info, you can click here. Here’s the basics:
3rd Annual Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament

SOAR is holding its 3rd Annual Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament on Saturday, March 14, 2009, in the Brookline Fire Company Hall in Havertown, PA. Registration – 4pm. Tournament begins – 5pm. $100 entrance fee includes food and drink throughout the evening. CASH PRIZES!!!

  • $4000 in prize money guaranteed!
  • $100 entry fee gets you $5000 in chips.
  • Re-buys are permitted – $50 gets you $2500 in chips. You can re-buy as many times as you want within the first three (3) rounds. No re-buys after the start of Round 4.
  • Add-ons are permitted while you still have chips – $50 gets you $2500 in chips. Add-ons must be purchased during a break. One (1) add-on per person.
  • The following blinds increase every 20 minutes, with 15 minute breaks every two (2) rounds.
  • Round 1: 25/50
  • Round 2: 50/100
  • Round 3: 100/200
  • Round 4: 200/400
  • Round 5: 500/1000
  • Round 6: 1000/2000
  • Round 7: 2000/4000
  • Round 8: 5000/10000

The number of entrants will dictate the number of winners. As this is a charity fundraiser, SOAR will take 30% of the pot. The remaining 70% will be shared by the winners. If we have a pot of $10,000, SOAR would take $3000 and the remaining $7000 would be shared by the winners. In this example, the payout would be $4000 for 1st place, $2000 for 2nd place, and $1000 for 3rd place.
Armenian food will be served for dinner – shish kebab, pilaf, pita bread, hummus, baklava, etc. Snacks after dinner. Beer, soda, and H20 to drink. Self-deal. Tournament will be run via a computer program/laptop/projector screen.

No Quizzo at Good Dog Tonight!

Hey kids. No quiz at the Good Dog tonight. Sorry for the late notice but I just found out myself. Apparently, beer week there is just over the top this year and if we did quizzo there it would be like at Black Sheep tonight, with a packed house and me almost getting into fisticuffs with some dude in a leather jacket and a mullet (Details to follow). So, I probably won’t do new questions for Bards because it’ll give me more time to work on Quizzo Bowl stuff, and besides, the Bards is gonna be apes*** packed with or without new questions. I’ll keep ya updated.
