Jo Pincushion, regular contributor at Geekadelphia and host of “Creepy Basement” (above. Us basement-show hosting types stick together) will be hosting a round for horror film geeks tonight at Industry. Pincushion is not only a fan of horror films, she’s also an instructor. You wanna learn more about the horror genre? Check out her class on October 28th in Radnor.
As for tonight’s quiz, you can expect plenty of geekiness, both in horror and in video games, comic books, and computers. Action starts at 6:30, and it’s a DOUBLE POINTS WEEK AT INDUSTRY. 10 points for the winner, with different winners almost every week. Great chance to get on the board in the JGTAI, and $3 craft beers and $8 burgers (with fries).
On to the Bards at 9 p.m. where I will give a $20 bonus to any team that can beat the Jesters of Tortuga, in addition to the $40 gift certificate. So if you can knock off those bastards, you can earn $60 in prizes. Well worth the shot. And $3 Lagers. See ya tonight!
Chris Cummins, a regular contributor at Geekadelphia and Topless Robot, will be hosting a special round of quizzo tonight at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. Geek Week continues this evening (much to the excitement of those of you who are full fledged geeks, and dismay and blank stares of those of you who have a life outside of total nerddom). Chris has written and will be asking tonight’s Wild Card Round. Also, $2 PBRs.
On to Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Hope to see ya tonight!
We’re going to be raising money this week at quizzo for the family of Jose Aparicio. Aparicio, a barback at the Public House, was gunned down by human trash a couple of weeks ago in South Philadelphia when he wouldn’t hand over his backpack. The family is now trying to raise money to send his body back to Mexico for burial, and the Public House has set up a website to do so (If you are not playing quizzo this week and want to donate, you can do so through that website). I’m asking everyone playing this week to please donate a few dollars. I assure you that 100% of the donations I receive will go towards the Aparicio family. Thanks.
10 years ago today, Steve Bartman innocuously reached out for a foul ball and changed the course of Cubs history. So what’s he been up to for the past 10 years? Time travel. (If you enjoy the above video, please share. Thanks!)
