Well, I could care less about science, but you nerds seem to love it…we’ve been packed at the bars all week. Big upset at City Tap last night, as Steak Em Up fell by one point. O’Neals was decided by one as well, with Sharktoberfest taking the title. Seems like science keeps these games close. Action starts tonight at Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. We move to Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Hope to see ya tonight, with all new science, technology, and sci-fi questions.

It is going to be a slightly longer spring season. May 6th is the Broad Street Run, which killed our attendance last year, and May 13th is Mother’s Day. So the Spring Invitational will be May 20th. (I’ll have details on a venue and entertainment soon. Working on a couple of things.) The good news is that means that even if you haven’t scored any point yet there is still time because the season is an extra week this year (9 week season, plus a wild card week). Here are the scores after 5 weeks.

Remember, teams who score over 90 get a bonus point and those who score over 100 get two bonus points (assuming you finish top 3.) Teams in yellow are in the Top 10 and eligible for a bonus prize. Teams in yellow or green would earn an invite if the season ended today (I’ve upped it to 18 invites, since we’ve recently added two new bars.) Teams in blue are on the outside looking in, but there is still plenty of time to get back in the hunt. If something seems wrong with your score, it could be because a) I screwed up. Most likely or b) you had two different team names. If you do change team names and are angling for an invite, please write down your old name on your paper. Best place to get a win? Right now, there are no dominant teams on Mondays at either North Star or Sidecar. And if you couldn’t find a table at Sidecar the first few weeks, try again tonight. It’s slowed down a little since the “new car smell” wore off, so there is a much better chance of getting a seat than there was a month ago.

My most dreaded week of the year, but I know you nerds love it, so I’ll do it anyway (The sacrifices). Science and technology week at quizzo. All questions will be more or less based on science, inventors, technology, and yes, some science fiction. We start tonight at North Star at 7 p.m. Half price hummus (which is great, btw) and mussels, $3 Kenzingers. On to the Sidecar at 9:15 p.m. Dollar off all bitter beers. Hope to see ya tonight.
