Looking For Your Feedback
We’re headed into Fall next week, and our Fall Invitational will begin soon after that. Before that gets started, I want to hear from you. As people start heading back into the city and we start cranking things up, I want to know: What do you want to see more of at quizzo? What do you think it can do without? What can I do to improve it? If you’ve got any suggestions, please post them in the comments here or on facebook. I can’t promise I’ll institute them all, but I do promise to read and consider them all. And everybody who contributes feedback, whether positive or negative, will be entered in a drawing for a $25 gift certificate to one of our bars. Thanks!
Joker’s Wild Week Continues Tonight on Big Money Tuesday
We kicked it off last night at North Star Bar, and it was a lot of fun. Some of the tweaks for this week will make quizzo purists twinge (there is an element of luck involved, though not too heavily) but they certainly added a fun twist to the game. All new quiz tonight. We start at O’Neals at 8 p.m. It is certianly wide open there, with plenty of teams capable of scoring the $50 gift card for first place.
On to the City Tap House. I think this is the week things will start picking up, with the youngsters back in town. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. $100 gift certificate to the winners, and like I said, with these knew rules, it could be almost anybody. Hope to see you tonight!
