Just a quick reminder to get your team of 4 together for Day of Games on Saturday at City Tap House. I’m not gonna tell you again…this is going to be an insane amount of fun. Remember how great field day was in school? Well this is just like that except with great beer. If you want to play, contact Jess at jmcgarvey@publichouseusa.com. There are slots left for 6 more teams. Hope to see you there!
With 5 different winners in the past 5 weeks, things are wide open at Industry. If you are looking to score a win, well here you go. I am practically handing you one. Action starts at 6:30. There is plenty of parking nearby, the burger is excellent and only $8, they’ve got $3 beer specials each week, and we’re going to play Name That Tune and French Fry Face-off. It doesn’t get any better than that.
On to the Bards at 9 p.m. $3 Lagers and a chance to knock off the #1 team in quizzo. Wild card round tonight will be “Famous Logs”. See ya tonight!
The critics have not been kind to Johnny Goodtimes lately, especially Adam P. (above), in this review on Yelp.
First off, the website lists that it starts at 10pm (which I even called to confirm). The host didn’t show up until 10:40, which according to our waitress, is the new standard this summer. And as it turns out, Johnny ‘Goodtimes’ is actually a miserable guy in his 30s with the personality and emceeing skills of a log.
It doesn’t end there. Trippindicular on reddit states, I’ve done Johnny Goodtimes quizzo and hated it. Too may people, he was trying to talk over people, and too much time between rounds.
Behindtheaegis confirms. Johnny Goodtimes is the worst.
So if you’re looking for a quizmaster who shows up late, takes forever between rounds, and has the personality of a log, you should be at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m.! (Roughly. Apparently there is a new standard this summer), where your log-like quizmaster will probably spend most of his time trying to talk over you. If you are interested in having a “Goodtime” tonight, might I suggest the Black Sheep at 8 p.m.? (I’d call ahead to confirm that 8 p.m. time, though LORD KNOWS what time he’ll actually show.) Expect tonight’s wild card round to have something to do with “logs”. It’ll be the worst.
That’s the current forecast for this Saturday. If you can think of anything better to do on an 85 degree day than play cornhole, drink beer, listen to music, and throw water balloons at your opponents, then you’re lying. There is nothing better to do on an 85 degree day unless you’re Chris Issak and they tell you to roll around on the beach with Helena Christensen. But otherwise this will be the funnest thing happening this Saturday in Philadelphia and that is a stone cold guarantee. Go here for details. And watch the commercial for it tonight on Phillies Nation TV.
We kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m., where things have been rather raucous lately. The Savage Ear took a spill last week. Can they regain their composure? They’ll have to do so with a guest host, as the Sandman takes the reins at O’Neals.
Meanwhile, on to the City Tap House, where the Jesters of Tortuga and Underground Bard have been waging war. Can you make a name for yourself by kncoking off two of our top 4 teams at the same bar? And a quick heads-up: tonight’s quiz is the easiest I’ve written in quite a while, so I expect scores to be sky high. See ya tonight!
