Quizzo Bowl afterparty will be just a short cab ride away from the venue. We’ll be throwing down at the City Tap House after all is said and done. 3925 Walnut. Andy has promised us some great drink specials and we’ve got a side room all to ourselves where we can sit and mock the Penn undergrads who will be in the main bar area. Gonna be a great way to celebrate. (Or if the winners are Lambda or the Denver team, mourn.)

Just a heads up that the best dressed team at Quizzo Bowl is going to walk away with a $75 gift certificate from the City Tap House. And by “Best Dressed”, I obviously mean, “Most ridiculously or creatively dressed”. A good example would be the Watering Holes, who won Best Dressed two years ago, each going as a different Philadelphia bar. Of course, teams that dress up will get VIP seating as well.

Things are starting to come together for Quizzo Bowl, and they’re getting really, really interesting. I don’t want to give a whole lot away about what I’ve got percolating, but I do want to ask a favor: please shoot a note to Bill Cosby on twitter and see if we can get him to ask a question at Quizzo Bowl. Now, I know we can’t actually get him there physically, but I just want to see if we can convince him to ask a question at Quizzo Bowl on video. I can’t do this without your help, so if you are on twitter PLEASE send him a note asking him to record a Quizzo Bowl question on video. And even if we can’t land Bill, trust me, we are still going to have a wild card round FOR THE AGES. My guarantee of this being the greatest Quizzo Bowl ever is starting to look like it could be a reality. To be honest, I’m getting a little nervous about how crazy this whole thing is getting. I hope I can pull it all together in the next 10 days. And if there are any local celebrities you’d like to see on the show, let me know. No guarantees, but I’ll give it the ol’ college try. To get your tickets to Quizzo Bowl, you can buy them from me at my various quizzos throughout the week, or you can purchase them online here. Tickets are $25 a pop if you buy from me, $27 if you buy online.

On Saturday, February 19th, we’re headed back to where it all began, the World Cafe Live. And we’re bringing back two of our greatest acts of all time. Haulin’ Oats, who ripped the roof off the Golden Palace in Quizzo Bowl V, are taking it to the next level. In addition to Hall and Oates jams, they are going to be playing all of your favorites from the 80s…though there are rumors of a Motown song or two, just to keep things honest. You think they sounded good in the Golden Palace, wait until you hear these guys shred in an actual music hall. It’s gonna be incredible. Furthermore, we are bringing back our greatest halftime act of all time, Norm Klar, who rocked the house at Quizzo Bowl II! He will be performing his amazing magic/comedy act for our halftime show. He is one of the funniest and most beloved comedians in Philadelphia, and I can’t wait to see him shock and astound again this year.

Of course, in addition to the Lovely Ginger and the Lovely Cookie, Fastball Bob will be returning this year to help co-host the event. (Also, if anyone has any room on their couch or even room in their garage, he could use a place to stay the weekend of the event.)

However, there is one aspect of previous Quizzo Bowls that will NOT be taking place this year. Johnny will NOT be rapping and dancing to open this one. And even if he were rapping, he certainly would not be performing an accompanying dance number with Chip Chantry. Such a thing would be ludicrous, and quite frankly, a bit immature.

Anyways, Johnny will have tickets on sale at Quizzo all week, where he will be selling them. They are $25 a pop. If you can’t make it to quizzo, you can buy them online, though there is a $2 service charge.
