Quizzo Bowl tickets will go on sale tonight at Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo. They are also available for purchase online, but there is a service charge online, while there is no service charge to purchase them from me. Quizzo Bowl will be held on Saturday March 20th at the TLA. Tickets are $25 each, and that includes not only quizzo, but also a great between-round band, which will be announced later today, and a halftime comedy performance. And of course, plenty of giveaways and a few surprises, as always. Maximum team size is 8. Teams of 4 or less will be combined with other teams of 4 or less to make one larger team. If you have a smaller sized team or are a free agent hoping to help another team out, feel free to let me know beforehand and I’ll see if I can get you matched up beforehand. 

This event will sell out, so do not wait too long to purchase your tickets. Teams that dress up in uniforms or outlandish outfits will get VIP seating, just like last year. Yes, you are welcome to wear your uniforms from last year for credit. And no, one member dressing up does not count as the team dressing up. This is going to be a lot of fun, and there are even rumors of the Denver champions making an appearance at the event. I’ll have more on that soon.

That’s right, folks, it’s on. Quizzo Bowl VI will be brought to you at the Theatre of the Living Arts on Saturday, March 20th at 8 p.m. sharp. We will have many more details in the coming days and weeks, but for now save the date. Tickets should go on sale next week. If anyone is interested in helping to sponsor the event, please let me know. This is a sweet venue. This is gonna be fun.

Nothing is set in stone yet, but as of right now, we are tentatively looking at March 20th as a date. I am in talks with a very cool venue. They want to do it, I want to do it, we just gotta make sure we can make those numbers line up for both of us. It’s tricky when, in addition to renting the room, you gotta give away a bunch of prize money and pay a band, so we’re trying to find a way to make it happen. But I’m really hoping it will and I really want to set a new attendance record this year. That’s something we can aim for if we get this place. Should know something a little more definite on Monday. I’ll keep ya updated.

I Can’t Go For That, Rich Girl, and Maneater. I still can’t believe we did this damn thing at a Chinese restaurant.

Ok, Quizzo Bowl stuff is kind of all over the site right now, so I figured I would consolidate. Here ya go:

• The Final Wrap Up of the Night.
• Final scores of all teams.
• Official Quizzo Bowl Photos.
• Video of me rapping and Haulin Oats rocking.
• Best team name.
• The trailer to the Quizzo Documentary that aired at QBV.
• Best Team Outfit.

Big ups to my main man DJ Starr (yeah, it’s his real name). After he took great photos of last year’s Quizzo Bowl, I had to get him back this year. And this years pics are every bit as good. I was so excited when I got the photos I decided to make a little video of them (above.) But the video doesn’t really do justice to how good these pics are, as they lose some of their quality on Youtube, and there were some I had to delete for time considerations. Be sure to go here to check them all out.

Big thanks to my man Steve for shooting some video of Saturday night’s show. Here is my opening rap plus a classic Haulin’ Oats tune (give the video a few seconds to get started). Plus you can watch Smackdown and Maryanne try to convince Gabe to dance with them in the foreground (unsuccesfully).

…17th place finishers You Dim Sum You Lose Sum. Very funny. You guys win a $25 gift certificate…somewhere. Shoot me an email and I’ll rummage up something for you guys. Nice work.
