Hey gang, just a heads up that I shot a short video for the 97.5 the Fanatic Dream Job. Hope you’ll check out out. Number of views apparently counts toward part of the score, so check it out and if you dig it, hit the red-lettered button that says “Like” below the video. Thanks!

Big Money Tuesday
If last night was any indication, it’s gonna be a wild week. Wow, packed houses and high scores at both spots. Tonight, we start at O’Neals at 8 p.m. $5 Burritos and quesaillas, and $3.50 Mexican beers, and if the last few weeks are any indication, some real competition. On to the City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. $4 beer specials each week and $100 gift cert for the winners. Oh, and Name that Tune at both spots. See ya tonight!
Question of the Week
This man became the commander of the Philadelphia brigade just days before the Battle of Gettysburg, and legend has it that to inspire his men to stay calm and dig in during Pickett’s Charge, he leaned on his sword and smoked a cigar as bullets whizzed around him during the battle.
JGT Power Rankings
No scoreboard quite yet for the JGTSI (We’ll post one next week.) In the meantime, here are your JGT Power rankings. Still wide open starting at the #3 spot.
1. Jesters of Tortuga (CTH). Finally move into the top spot with a win over Duane’s World at the Black Sheep on Wednesday. On the bright side, we didn’t have to deal with them at the Bards on Thursday. Last week: #2
2. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). Tough loss at home drops them a spot in the rankings. Last week: #1
3. The Jams (Locust Rendezvous). A 2nd place finish at the Vous, coupled with mostly new teams earning Ws this week, edges the Jams back up into third, though they hang there precariously.
4. We Got Nothin’/Savage Ear (O’Neals). A tie for 2nd at O’Neals keeps them in the Top 5.
5. Exhausted Nihilists (Rendezvous). A win over the Jams at the Vous launches the Nihilists into the Top 5. Last week: #11
6.Specific Jawns (Bards). Celebrate Pat’s departure with a big win at Bards. Last week: NR
7. South East (Sidecar). These guys bounce between Sidecar and Bards, and are always in the mix at both. This week, they recorded a 45, our 2nd highest score. Last week: NR
8. Underground Bard (CTH). Their frustration at City Tap continues, as they tie the Jesters for first, but lose in OT. Last week: #9
9. Feeder Secretaries (O’Neals). An all-new team brashly walks into an O’Neals packed with wily vets like Hooter and Chuff, We Got Nothin’, and Mapother. We’ve seen a few one-hit wonders come and go lately. Will this be another, or do we have a new contender on the scene? Last week: NR
T-10. Inkspot (North Star). A one-point win over the Stillmaniacs gets the Inkspots outta the teens and into the Top 10. Last week: #14
T-10. Sharktoberfest (Industry). About damn time do they show up at Industry. And whattya know? They come away with a win on the strength of Jen’s literature knowledge! Last week: NR
12. Tempura House.
13. Penis Penis Vagina Butts.
14. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics.
15. Why Can’t Us?
16. Hooter and Chuff.
17. Careless Fister
18. New and Improved Team Name.
19. Sidecardigans.
20. Formerly Known as School District Employees.
Quizzo Tonight
Week 2 gets underway tonight at North Star at 7 p.m. Half off mussels and hummus, and I’ll have two tickets to give away to the North Star show of your choice, as well as our regular Name That Tune. If you’re looking for a win in the JGTSI, this is a great opportunity.
On to Sidecar at 9:30. Always a great time. Great food, rotating beers, and a terrific (and pretty damn smart) staff. Still wide open there as well. 5 different winners in the past 5 weeks. Hope to see ya tonight!
