Ok, kids, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. The Fall Brawl is being held at the East Falls Marketplace. Here are the deets.
Tickets: $20, at the door. Includes Sly Fox beer, quizzo, and entertainment. (Bring a couple of ones, to tip your bartender.) There will be food for sale at the Marketplace.
Why the East Falls Marketplace? In addition to just being a really cool space to do an event, it also has a lot of history that apply to us nerds. It was the home of the UNIVAC computer.
What’s the entertainment: In addition to quizzo, Steve-O is going to performing between rounds. That’s right, keyboard versions of all of your favorite Styx songs!
What else is going on at the East Falls Marketplace: Before the quiz, there is a beer tasting starting at around 3 p.m. and a slot car exhibition going on all day.
Where: East Falls Marketplace, 3747 Ridge Avenue. You either have to go to Route 1, turn right and make an immediate right onto Ridge (Marketplace will then be on your left almost immediately) or go through the East Park by the Strawberry Mansion Bridge and come out and make a left onto Ridge.
Prizes: Winner walks with $250 cash. 2nd Place walks with $125.
Rules: Regular quizzo rules apply. Up to 8 people on a team. 4 rounds. Ten Questions. No electronic devices. Hope to see ya Saturday! If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me.
As someone who drives that way every day (going to Mt. Airy), you have given bad directions. If you turn on Hunting Park (at Laurel Hill Cemetary), you go through a chute that goes under Ridge Avenue and you come up to street level well past Ridge and will have to turn around. You either have to go to Route 1, turn right and make an immediate right onto Ridge (Marketplace will then be on your left almost immediately) or go through the East Park by the Strawberry Mansion Bridge and come out and make a left onto Ridge. Your directions will leave a lot of people wandering Hunting Park Avenue asking disbelieving locals about a Quizzo game.
