Your New Favorite Band, TJ Kong & the Atomic Bomb, Will Be Playing at Quizzo Bowl X

If there’s one thing to be said about Quizzo Bowl, it’s that I take the appointment of what band to pick pretty damn seriously. They have to set the tone for my biggest night of the year, they have to be creative, they have to be fun, and they have to be insanely talented. From Nate Wiley and the Crowd Pleasers to Welcome to My Face, one of the things I’ve been proud of over these past ten years is that the music on the show has always been absolute Grade A. And seeing how this is the 10th Quizzo Bowl, the grandest of them all, it was imperative that I pick a band that could live up to my (and your) outsized expectations. I have done so. Those of you who have seen TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb will vouch for me here: this will be one of the most ass-kickin’, honkey tonkin’, jive-talkin’, tightrope walkin’ bands you will ever see in your life. I have already told the insurance company to be prepared because they may very well tear the roof off of the sucker. For those of you who will be seeing them for the first time, I’m just going to tell you this in advance: you’re welcome.

Question of the Week

We get the term “Super Bowl” from this former NFL owner, who got the idea from watching his kids play with a Super Ball. Who was he?

Quizzo Is On For Tonight

Put down those snowshovels and get out to quizzo! Action starts at the Vous at 6:15 and moves to Black Sheep at 8 p.m. (Same quiz as Monday). Hope to see ya tonight!

Quizzo Cancelled

Unfortunately, it’s just too nasty out. But unless the Rendezvous or Black Sheep are closed, I will be in action tomorrow night. See ya then!

Question of the Week

What seminary school in Chester did Martin Luther King attend?

Laid Back Quizzo Tonight

If you’re looking to get a win, Monday’s are your best shot. While there are several bars on the JGT circuit where quizzo mercenaries show up intent on destroying everything in their path, these are not two of them. Laid back quiz with a few bonus perks thrown in. At North Star (7 p.m.), those perks include a free ticket to the upcoming show of your choice and $3 Kenzingers. At Sidecar (9 p.m.) it’s Name That Tune and Dollar off bitter beers. See ya tonight!

VOTE for a New Name for Our Store

I became minority owner of a sports store in Midtown Village a few months ago. I haven’t been promoting it too much yet, because we’ve been trying to move out old inventory and get our own inventory in the store to put our stamp on the place. But soon I’ll be bugging the hell out of all of you about the place: just a fair warning.

The store will be undergoing many changes in the coming months, the first of which is the name…we are going with a vintage vibe for the store, and need you to help us decide on a name. We posted 5 names that we all liked, and want you guys to determine what the end result is. So please go to our page and vote, and anyone who votes gets 15% off anything in the store. And please help us spread the word. Thanks!
