Last week we learned that instead of Chuck E Cheese, founder Nolan Bushnell wanted to name his family entertainment center Rick Rats Pizza. His marketing team talked him out of it. Which reminds me: 13 years ago, Chip and I did a pizza review of the Chuck E Cheese that used to be on Columbus Boulevard. Anyways, here’s our lineup for this week.
MONDAY
TUESDAY
WEDNESDAY
THURSDAY
A fun time last week. We learned that Lynard Skynard is from Jacksonville (where they got their name from their ornery high school gym coach), Luck Be a Lady plays at the Bellagio fountains, and that Ziwe hosts a talk show in an all-pink studio. For this week, please note: quiz is canceled Tuesday night at Founding Fathers due to the Sixers. Otherwise we’re a go as of now. Here’s our schedule:
MONDAY
Loco Pez 7 PM
TUESDAY
Nothing (Sixers)
WEDNESDAY
Dock Street 8 PM
THURSDAY
Deli at Dwell 7 PM
Birra 8 PM
FRIDAY
Phoenix Season starts! 7 PM
I’m a day late and a dollar short, but all good, we had a nice crowd at Loco Pez last night anyway. We learned a lot at last week’s quiz, including about how the painting Olympia by Manet (above) caused a scandal in 1865. You can learn more about the controversy here. Another controversy we explored was the Police song Don’t Stand So Close to Me and the 1955 novel it was inspired by: Lolita. You can read more about the background to the song here.
Here’s the rest of the lineup for this week. Carl’s being lazy so I have to fill in for him on Thursday.
TUESDAY
Founding Fathers 8 PM
WEDNESDAY
Dock Street 8 PM
THURSDAY
Deli at Dwell (with Taryn) 7 PM
