Action starts at 6:30 at the Vous. And yes, I will be there this evening. On to Founding Fathers at 8:30 p.m. Been nuts there lately. If you want to guarantee your team a seat, get there early. Yeah, I’d expect some questions having to do with Veteran’s Day, but you won’t need to know a whole lot about war to get most of them right. Alright, I’ll see you tonight.

Tripleheader Tonight
We kick it off at the Markets at Comcast, our final quiz there in 2015 season. Been a terrific year, packed house nearly every month. Let’s end strong tonight. Action starts at 5:30 p.m.
On to O’Neals at 8 p.m., where any team that can crack 120 points and pull off a win gets to double their prize to $100 gift cert.
We wrap it up at City Tap House at 10:30, where it really is anybody’s ballgame. Great chance to get a win and score a $100 gift card. Hope to see you tonight!
JGTAI Scores With Less Than a Week To Go!
Well here we go. Our scores with less than a week left to play (these do not include last night at Sidecar). 7 quizzes left to earn yourself an invite. If you’re in the blue, you need to get your team together this week and make it happen. As of right now, some illustrious teams such as Popesack, Encyclopedophiles, and #1 Government Team Competitor are on the outside looking in. It’s also worth noting that the staff team at Industry, with that win last week, is within striking distance of an upset appearance.
So, in addition to quizzes this week, you can also earn points on facebook. Just post a picture of yourself in the midst of some fall foliage. You can also earn your team an extra 5 points by leaving a positive review on itunes for our podcast (the more reviews we get, the better our search results.) Just shoot me a line and let me know that the reviewer was you when you’re done.
And of course you can earn points by finishing first, second or third this week. Your best bet to score a win? Probably Industry, though City Tap House is also up for grabs plenty of times.
Then there is the last gasp effort, which is wild card week next week. Any team that finishes first earns an automatic invite. But if you don’t want to leave it to chance, I would get some physical challenges done and get your team out to quizzo this week. The Big Event takes place on November 22nd at the City Tap House and will feature live music from the John Train band (who are awesome).
Question of the Week
The terrible book Moby Dick (which we discussed in our latest podcast*) was based on the disastrous voyage of what whaling ship in 1820?
If you don’t have itunes, you can listen to it here.

Quizzo and Name That Tune Tonight!
We’re gonna play a little quizzo, as well as a little Name That Tune at quizzo tonight, starting at the Industry at 6:30. There is typically plenty of nearby parking, there are $3 craft beers, and there is terrific food. A really interesting quiz this week. Duane’s World actually finished 6th last night, if that tells you anything. Anyone could take this quiz. A really funky one.
On to Bards at 9:15. You know how we do.
Oh, and be sure to post your Halloween outfit on the facebook page to earn JGTAI points! You’ve got one more day to do so!
Hope to see you tonight!
Listen to Our Latest Podcast!
The new This Week in Worthless Knowledge podcast is up. You can download it here on itunes, or you can listen here on Nat’s blog if you don’t use itunes. We’ve worked out some audio tweaks, and I think the show is really getting funny. We talked about Charles van Doren, and how much I would need to be offered to cheat on Jeopardy (and how doing so would ruin my quizzo career). We also discussed Guy Fawkes, Vlad the Impaler, what animal you’d take into space, and why our wives don’t listen to our podcast. If you haven’t already, be sure to like us on Facebook as well.
And a quick favor to ask: if you enjoy the podcast, please leave a review on itunes. As an added (shameless) bonus, I will give 3 points in the JGTAI to any player who posts a review on itunes. At the very least, please give it a 5-star rating on there. Thanks, and hope you enjoy it!
Big Money Tuesday Tonight
Action starts at O’Neals at 8 p.m. $50 gift card for the winners…$100 if you can top 120 points. $3.50 margaritas and Mexican beers.
On to City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. $100 gift card for the #1 team, and last week it was a very close contest. It’s anybody’s game to win. Hope to see you tonight!
Quizzo Tonight
Action starts at 9:30 at Sidecar. We’ve been rocking the past few weeks. Let’s get back to it this week.
As far as North Star, I have not heard anything in the past couple of weeks. I’ll begin looking at some other spots in the neighborhood soon. In the meantime, if any North Star ex-pats are itching to play some quizzo, your best bets to find parking would be City Tap House on Tuesdays at 10:30 or Thursdays at 6:30 at Industry.
