Bounty Bowl Next Week!

The Jams have won 5 in a row, and thus there will be a Bounty next Wednesday at the Rendezvous. In addition to the gift certificate, teams will win $20 cash if they can finish first and knock off the Jams. This is our first Bounty since February, when the Jams won 7 in a row, and our third of the year (There was a Bounty out on Duane’s World in January.)

JGT Hopes Dirty Hippies Get Lost in Camden

Sunday night provides the opportunity for madcap hilarity. My dream scenario goes like this: a huge multi-colored bus full of dirty hippies, high on a variety of drugs they stole from their mom (after sneaking upstairs from the basement where they live) make a wrong turn on their way to see the most mind-numbingly boring band in the history of the earth (yes, even more boring than the Grateful Dead) and end up in North Camden. Hilarity ensues.

There is a concert at the TLA Sunday also, called the Summer Slaughter Tour, that will feature bands called Necrophagist, Dying Fetus, Decrepit Birth, and After the Burial. I would rather watch them all, followed by an extended encore in which they all played Hey Jude together, than go to this Phish concert.

A Penny for Your Thoughts

jgtlogo51Hey gang, as you can see, we’re changing things up a bit on the website, and I’d appreciate your feedback. What do you want to see more of on the site? What would you like to see less of? I have tried to make it more focused on trivia and less of a hodge podge. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? 

A few things to note. First of all, now that I am using WordPress, it is a lot easier to post pics. So I think I will, starting next week, post pics of the top 3 finishers at each bar, not just the winners. Also, the categories have been cleaned up and so the site is much easier to navigate.

I am thinking I might do a pizza hunt again this summer like we did in 2006. I will have more details next week. Also, looking for a spot to do a City vs. City quiz with Denver this summer. Will keep you updated.
