Quizzo Tonight

frenchfry
We kick it off at the Ugly American at 8 p.m. The joint has been jumping lately. Let’s keep it going tonight. If you haven’t been to quizzo lately because you can’t find a table, well, I’d suggest the Bards. Temple and Penn are on spring break right now, so it should be a great opportunity to snag a table. $2.50 Miller Lites and Lagers during quizzo. And of course I’ll be doling out free fries tonight. And I’d expect at least a couple of Corey Haim questions.

Reminiscing About Quizzo Bowls Past


This interview was done for the documentary, which was shot before Quizzo Bowl IV. In it, I talk about previous halftime acts and previous bands at Quizzo Bowl. Of course, WID didn’t work out so well at QBIV. Last year’s dragon troupe was a bit more successful, though they went on a little long As for bands, every year I’ve picked a winner. Black Elvis was awesome, and so was Haulin Oats. The West Philadelphia Orchestra will definitely continue that proud tradition. This year, Chip Chantry, Fastball Pitcher Bob Gutierrez, comedian Eric Todd and myself will be doing the halftime act. Could be a hoot…or it could be an epic disaster. There’s only one way to find out. I’ll have tickets on sale tonight.

What a Feelin’!


For those of you who don’t think I can dance, think again. And when we dump all of the raffle tickets on the floor during Quizzo Bowl VI, now you’ll know why. It was a tradition started when one of the Hellcat Girls in Quizzo Bowl III grabbed the wrong bucket and dumped it on me. It was supposed to be the bucket with the glitter in it, not the bucket with the tickets in it. That’s why I am inexplicably covered in tickets at the end of this video.

Quizzo Bowl News and Notes

PrintFirst of all, Quizzo Bowl tickets are moving fast. I am at almost 100 sold. Which means that if you have not already bought them yet, you should definitely do so this week. That includes the “regulars” (Sofa Kingdom, Lambda, Duane’s World, etc.) The buzz is spreading (It’s already up on Phillyfunguide and I am expecting press coverage next week.) I am expecting another sellout this year, so don’t wait until the day of to buy your tix, because there is a good chance they will be gone by then.

Here is the 5 minute guide to Quizzo Bowl, and here is the facebook invite.  Also want to send a shout out to Owen, who designed this year’s Quizzo Bowl logo. I will have tickets on me tonight at quizzo.

  6. The Jams. How to rank the teams at the Rendezvous? 5 winners in the last 6 weeks. What was once the Jams birthright is now the most competitive game in town. Jams hold down the #6 spot as the only team in the last 6 weeks to win twice. Last week: #4
  7. 1022. A thrilling win at the Rendezvous this week, this is a team on the rise at the right time. Last week: NR
  8. The Champs. Haven’t been on the winner’s podium much lately, but their 2 Quizzo Bowl wins and 3rd place finish last year earn them a Top 10 spot. Last week: NR
  9. Axis of Evil Knieval. A 2nd Place finish at the Bards keeps them in the 9 spot. Last week: #9
  10. The Unusual Suspects. Finish third at Black Sheep. This is the team we are personally rooting for at Quizzo Bowl. Why? Because they finished dead last in 2009. Would love to see the worst to first story become a reality. Last week: NR
