PHS Harvest Fest Kicks Off With Two Quizzes on Thursday!

Welcome

On Thursday, September 17th, Carl B. Sure and I will be hosting two simultaneous quizzos as the kickoff event of the Philadelphia Horticultural Society’s Harvest Fest. I’ll be hosting at the Beer Garden on 15th and South, while Carl will be located on the beer garden on 9th and Wharton. It will be a #Popquizzo, meaning the questions will primarily be pop culture related. Here are a few basic details, with more coming in the next few days:

Action starts at 6:30. I’d suggest you get there early. There’s going to be a lot of promotion of this, and the weather is looking perfect, so I suspect we’ll have really good crowds. Doors open at 5, so I’d try to come by soon after that.

Like I stated earlier, the quiz will be questions primarily about Pop Culture. TV, movies, music, and perhaps a few surprises along the way. Going to be doing more video rounds than we’ve ever done at quizzo before, so it’ll definitely be a lot different and more visual than our typical modus operandi.

Max team size is 5. We may allow a bit of wiggle room if need be, but there will only be 5 prizes awarded for the top 3 places, so if you’re aiming for the sky, I suggest you hold your team to 5.

The event is sponsored by the Philadelphia Horticultural Society, who I’ve worked with before and am thrilled to be working with again. I think this is going to be a really cool event. Hope to see you good folks there!

Our long citywide nightmare is over. Ruben Amaro is gone. We can LIVE again! I expect there to be a lot of hugs and a few tears tonight at quizzo, which starts at Industry at 6:30 p.m. Terrific hamburgers, $3 craft beers, and rumors of a WILD GIRAFFE RUNNING AMOK*.

It was a rockin’ good time last week. Let’s keep it going. The wild card round is based on the question of the week and the audio round is a “Musical Covers” round. See ya tonight!

Question of the Week

One of the highlights of the Sandman hosting quizzo is that while he a brilliant man, a very good quizzo fill-in, and a great friend, he is, without a doubt, the worst photographer I have ever met in my life. His photos are almost performance art. He certainly didn’t disappoint this week. The Industry pic is a personal favorite.
