Same quiz as earlier this week. Why? Because I’m lazy. That’s why. Also, because I went to my wife’s Field Day with her school, then had to evacuate my house because the church they are destroying nearby started swaying back and forth. Life on the edge, folks. It’s the only life I know.
Tonight, quizzo kicks off at Ugly American at 8 p.m. $2 Lagers. On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. $2.50 Lager Lights. Pretty damn good deals. Hope to see ya there.
Breaking Bad quiz is coming this Sunday at the POPE as part of Beer Week. We’ll be honoring this phenomenal show with questions not just about the show itself, but about the chemistry on the show, the actors, and even a few questions about crystal meth. Going to be a very, very interesting quiz. Action starts at 8 p.m. at the POPE (1501 East Passyunk) and is sponsored by The Lost Abbey. Hope to see you there.
Pretty excited to be hosting a very, very fun event on Saturday at the City Tap House. The Day of Games will test your mental acuity, athletic prowess, and singing ability, and also allow you to drink some kickass beers for only $4 each. Furthermore, there is a bitchin’ prize for the winner: 5 tix to an upcoming Phillies game, a cooler of ice cold beer, and transportation to the game. Yeaahh buddy.
Here’s how it will work: teams of 5 people each will participate in a variety of games, including tricycle relays, a blind beer taste test, a picture round, and putt-putt golf. Musical entertainment will be provided by the great Kenn Kweder. The final two teams will then face-off: in a karaoke death match. Winner walks away with the sweet prize. It’s free to enter, and needless to say, uniforms are encouraged. Warning: there will be water balloons involved in this event. Action starts at high noon on Saturday.
We start at Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. tonight. On to Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Interesting quiz. Picture round that turned out a little harder than I thought it would. Scores at O’Neals were pretty average, but scores at City Tap were brutal. Interested to see how teams do tonight.
This man was killed by future president Andrew Jackson in a duel on May 30th, 1806.
Some fun stuff going on in the next few weeks I thought you’d want to know about.
First of all, I’ll be emceeing a field day event at City Tap House on Saturday. It’s part of Beer Week, and details are coming soon.
On Sunday, we’re gonna be seeing how much you know about the show Breaking Bad…with a few drug questions mixed in to see how well you know illegal narcotics. Action starts at the POPE at 8 p.m.
On Sunday, June 10th, we’re gonna quiz you on a very different show…Seinfeld quiz at the Trestle Inn.
Many more details coming soon on all of these events, but I just wanted to give you a quick heads up. Word.

A couple of very cool projects I worked on this week. Both well worth a read.
Philly’s One Hit Wonders. Ten of the biggest musical one-hit wonders in the city’s history.
Recently I met with Harvey Pollack. He’s worked in the NBA since 1945, first with the Warriors and later with the Sixers. He was the official statistician the night Wilt scored 100 points. In part one of our discussion, he talks about that game. In part two, he tries to solve the great mystery: where is that ball?
Harvey’s got his favorite basketball story, I’ve got mine: the time I played against Iverson in high school.
In other sports history news, it was 77 years ago tonight that the Phillies played in the first ever night game in MLB history. Here’s the story of that game.
