Pee Wee’s Big Adventure Podcast
The new Pee Wee Herman movie is coming out today, and I couldn’t be more excited. As some of you are aware, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is my favorite comedy film of all time. To celebrate the release of the new film, Nat the Truth and I decided to look back at Pee Wee’s Big Adventure in our latest podcast (if you don’t have itunes you can listen to it here). This was a lot of fun. If you’re a fan of Pee Wee Herman, you should definitely listen to this.
And if you haven’t done so yet, listen to the one where we talk about having a feral child. It’s a really good one. And be sure to like us on Facebook.
The podcast has really started taking off the past few weeks. We’re up to over 4000 downloads, which is really awesome. Thanks to everyone who has tuned in!
Industry is A Go; Bards Cancelled Tonight
Only one quiz tonight: it’s at Industry at 6:30. Needless to say, I’ll be expecting you to wear green (if anyone REALLY gets into the spirit, I’ll buy the person in the best outfit a beer). Yes, there’s an Irish round. And, for just this once, I’ll let you use your phones in one of the rounds.
Quizzo at Bards is cancelled because, I mean, come on. Just pray for Michael and the crew to make it out alive.

$300 Worth of Prizes Up for Grabs in the JGT Bracket-tacular, Brought to You by Shibe Sports
One of my favorite traditions on the JGT calendar, it’s time to kick off the JGT Bracket-tacular Brought to You By Shibe Sports. (To help make it go viral, please use the hashtag #12thannualJGTbrackettacularbroughtotyoubyShibeSports).
You can fill out your brackets here. We’ve got some great prizes to give away this year, including:
1st Place: $100 gift certificate to Shibe Sports and a $50 gift cert to Milkboy. At Shibe, we will be having a “Shoot for Savings Sale”, where if you hit a 3-pointer, you get 30% off your purchase! You can also get our great Palestra shirt with free shipping by using the code “madness”.
As for Milkboy, it’s simply one of the best bars in the city. A terrific selection of beer, the gate doors open when it gets warm outside, and be sure to try the Korean BBQ Steak Sandwich. They are also opening a 2nd location soon on South Street.
2nd Place: $50 gift cert to O’Neals, which is where a bunch of us gather the first Friday afternoon of each tournament and watch the games. It’s a great tradition, and if any of you want to join us, please feel free. Great service, every single game on their various TVs, and always good specials.
3rd Place: $25 gift certificate to Locust Rendezvous. The Vous’ status as one of the best places in Philadelphia to watch a game is pretty firmly established at this point.
25th Place: $25 Gift Certificate to Founding Fathers. No bar in town has a higher percentage of their wall covered with TVs, and at tournament time it is a great place to grab the Philadelphia Athletic Club Tacos (which are terrific, and which I came up with the name for) and a cold beer and watch the games.
50th Place: $50 gift certificates to City Tap House. Another great place to watch the games and drink some incredible beers, with over 60 different beers on tap at any given time.
Free to enter, and lots of great prizes on the line!
