This man wrote Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whaleship Essex, which would inspire Herman Melville to write Moby Dick. Who was this former first mate?

WHEN: 5:30 today.

WHERE: Mission Taqueria (1516 Sansom Street in the former Nodding Head).

WHY: Why not?

WHAT TO EXPECT: A fun 50 question quiz, live jazz, good food and big prizes.

If anyone has any questions shoot me a line. See ya tonight!

Action starts at Industry at 6:30 p.m. On to Bards at 9:15 p.m. No questions about the election. Last night was really therapeutic. Let’s do it again tonight.

If you’re looking for an escape from this madness, if you want to share this day with some friends and just drink some cold beer and play some trivia to take your mind off of this for a couple of hours, I’m game if you are.  Action starts at the Vous at 6:15 p.m. On to Founding Fathers at 8:30. Hope to see you tonight.

OK, an interesting lineup tonight, so listen up:

There is no quiz at Comcast tonight. Yeah, I know, bummer. But we figured everyone was voting. (You are voting, right?)

Yes, there is still a quiz at O’Neals tonight. Action starts at 8 p.m. with Slick Joe Moore. We’ll have a fun “election” theme for the wild card round.

Carl B Sure will be at Alla Spina tonight at 8 p.m. Great turnout last week. Let’s keep it going tonight.

And finally, I will be at City Tap House at 8 p.m. for the election spectacular. Gonna be a ton of fun. Hope to see ya tonight!

We kick off at Sidecar at 9:30 sharp. Yeah, we’ll have a bit of an election theme for wild card and audio, but not the whole quiz. Hope to see ya tonight!

 

Really excited to be hosting a special election event at City Tap House on Tuesday night, starting at 8 p.m. Volume will be up, and we’ll watch the results roll in. But during breaks in the action, we’ll also be doing giveaways for gift cards, bottle openers, and candy with presidential questions. City Tap will be offering $4 craft beers, and cocktail specials as well. This is gonna be a ton of fun, and I’d love to hang out with you nerds on election night. So come on over to Tap House at 8, let’s have a couple of cold ones, watch the results and answer a few trivia questions. Let’s go!

Here are our final standings of the 7th annual JGTAI! Teams in yellow will be receiving an invite from me today. Teams in blue still have a shot if there are some openings. And ALL teams have a chance in Wild Card Week: if you win this week, you’re in. Make it happen! Event is Sunday at 5:30 at Mission Taqueria, and the Tom Moon Trio will play between rounds. Gonna be a lot of fun.
