We’ve had a lot of upsets the past two weeks. Will be interesting to see if it continues this week. Expect a Mystery Round tonight. See ya then.

Quizzo at Bards Tonight

Hey gang, no quiz at Industry tonight. They’ve got their 3rd year anniversary party going down (which you’re still welcome to attend.) We’ll be back in business next Thursday.

We will be throwing down at the Bards however. Action starts at 9, with a couple of rounds based very loosely on Beer Week. See ya tonight!

No Industry Quiz Thursday; 3rd Anniversary Party

Hey kids, just to let you know we will be taking a week off from the Industry as they are having their 3rd anniversary party tomorrow night. Congrats to the whole gang. You are welcome to attend the celebration party going down tomorrow night. As part of Beer Week, they’ll have the gang from Yards there. Sounds like a lot of fun. Party starts at 7 p.m. We’ll be back in business next week.

Quizzo Tonight

We get the ball rolling at Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. You know the deal. Great competition, great beer prices, great service.

On to Founding Fathers at 8:30 p.m. We’ve been rocking and rolling there lately. Dale’s Pale Ale on special. Speaking of beer, with this being Beer Week I’d expect a few beer questions. See ya tonight!

Question of the Week

What 4-word term for dancing on top of or beside one’s moving car was made popular by Oakland rapper E-40’s song, “Tell Me When to Go”?

Back In Business Tonight

We’re back at it tonight. After taking last week off for Memorial Day, we’re back at North Star at 7 p.m. The new chef is terrific and the new menu is great. Definitely worth checking out.

On to Sidecar at 9:30 p.m. The competition is wide open. Anybody’s ballgame. Hope to see you guys tonight!

Ruby Tuesday Pulls Upset at Spring Invitational

Ruby Tuesday knocked off previous Invitational winners Duane’s World and Popesack to secure their first ever Grand Slam on the tour. It was an impressive win, as they scored 45 in the final round to break out from the pack of seven teams that were within one question of the lead heading into the final round (And they had several more teammates, only three were left by the time the photo was taken).

Music between rounds and the awesome live audio round were supplied by the Levee Drivers, who were truly terrific. Since we were in the National Mechanics building, which was built in 1837, our wild card round was 1837. Since it was Clint Eastwood’s birthday, our speed round was films he had directed since 1992. Thanks to everyone for coming out, thanks to National Mecahnics, and thanks to the Levee Drivers for putting on such a great show. Here were your final scores:
