Round Two was a picture round. Here’s how it worked; you had to tell me the name of the celebrity AND whether they were from Kansas City or San Fran. Click here to see the pics. (Answers below.)
Round Three was supposed to be Reef hosting a Rap Round. But Reef’s son had his Little League football banquet Sunday, so he had to bow out. For some reason, I thought it would be funny if Reef filled in for him, so I reached out. It was funny all right. Fergie set the roof on fire, riffing and ranting and raving hilariously for the full round. Anyway, here’s Round Three:

We’re sold out! At least for now, there could be a few tickets opened up (see below). But as of now we’re booked.
WHO: Teams of up to 8 players.
WHAT: Quizzo Bowl XVIII, the Grandaddy of Them All.
WHEN: This Sunday, February 4th. Doors at 3 PM, show starts at 4 PM.
WHERE: Yards Brewing, on 5th and Spring Garden.
WHY: Why not?
WILL THERE BE LIVE MUSIC? Yep, Philly’s pre-eminent polka band, Polkadelphia, is going to be rocking the house all evening.
ARE THESE GUYS GOOD? The best.
IS THERE A THEME? Not really, it’s a general quiz. I’d expect a few questions about beer, in one form or another. Music round will be live. 6 rounds overall, 48 questions.
QUICK REQUEST: Team captains, please fill in this form, so we know what teams are attending. We’ll also see if there are any more tables available for potential extra attendees. Also, if your team got tickets but you were unable to before it sold out, please shoot me a line at johnny at johnnygoodtimes dot com and we’ll see if there’s anything we can do.
WHAT ELSE? I’m requesting that everyone wear polka dots. And Fastball Bob will be there. Best of all, Chip Chantry will NOT be there. It’s a win-win.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE WIN? You enter the Realm of Immortals. In 17 previous years, we’ve had 8 different winners. Could your team be the 9th? Previous winners are:
PRIZES? Yep, we’ll be doing raffles and giveaways all night long. Plus $1000 worth of prizes for the top 3 finishers. And a prize for 13th place. Oh and a trophy for the winner. With flames on it.
EVENT PAGE: Here’s the Facebook page for the Quizzo Bowl. Will be the best place for up to the minute info on the Bowl as we get closer, and for attendees to post photos when we’re done.
WILL THERE BE AN AFTERPARTY? I think so. Still working on it, should know something soon.
Congrats to Sofa Kingdom, winners of Quizzo Bowl 18 at Yards on Sunday! A wonderful night, thanks everyone who came out. I’ll have scores, photos, and questions posted throughout this week. In the meantime, there is no quiz at Loco Pez on Monday, bu then our schedule gets back to normal. See ya this week!
