Only three quizzes this week, all of them about the year that was. So expect questions about 2014 films, movies, and newsmakers. Action starts tonight at North Star at 7 p.m. We move to Sidecar at 9:30.

On Tuesday night, there’s only one quiz, at O’Neals at 8 p.m. And that’ll be it until next week.

I hope everyone’s having a great holiday. While in the midst of your merrymaking, keep this in mind…Quizzo Bowl is coming! February 21st at the World Cafe Live. Details coming soon after the New Year.

 

Ok, what the heck, let’s do it at both quizzes tonight. We start at O’Neals at 8 p.m. 2 points for wearing an ugly Christmas sweater…I’ll give you one bonus point if you wear green and red.

On to City Tap House at 10:15, where we’ll really blow it out. Not only do we have 2 for $20 pizzas and $3 Gansetts, but we’ve got $5 Sly Fox Christmas Ales and $5 Shiner Holiday Cheers. We’ll also play some Christmas Faceoff.

And at both venues, we’ll be raising money for the Child Guidance Resource Center, so that children will receive Christmas presents who would otherwise go without. We raised over $200 last night! Let’s do it again tonight.

The annual holiday quiz* kicks off tonight at North Star at 7 p.m. Yuletide cheer for all, and all Christmas (and a few Hanukkah) themed questions. Brendan will host the wild card round. I’ll then take my 8 reindeer over to Sidecar at 9:30, where Sidney will do the wild card round. And remember kids, Santa smokes Lucky Strikes! Hope to see ya tonight!

*I was going to call it Christmas quiz, but in the spirit of the season I decided to piss off Bill O’Reilly.

Ok, I’m back in the building tonight, starting at Industry at 6:30. Joining me will be Carl, who will be hosting the wild card round. Our last quiz at the Industry this year…hope to see you there.

On to Bards at 9:15, where Geoff will be trying his hand at quizmastering. It’s our last quiz of 2014 at both spots, so let’s end it on a high note. See ya tonight!

MMMkay, so remember yesterday when I promised that I wouldn’t miss any more quizzes before the holiday? Weeeeell, the entire fam has come down with some sort of flu that my kid brought home from daycare (for those that don’t know, when it comes to diseases, daycares are like Panama Canal construction sites in the 1900s.)

So I’m going to sit home and be miserable for the remainder of the evening. But the show must go on! My more than capable wingman, Sandman, will host the quizzes tonight. Action starts at the Vous at 6:15. On to the Sheep at 8:15. Last quiz at both spots for 2014. Hope you can make it out. And I’ll be sure to drink lots of quinine before heading back out to the canal with my pickax.

None. Nada. Zilch.

Action starts at O’Neals at 8 p.m. The Sandman fills in (I have a private gig in Paoli. Last one I’ll miss before Christmas! Promise! Unless one of you wants to hire me for a private gig!) I’ll be back in action at the Tap House at 10:15 p.m. And good news: the Jesters of Tortuga will not be there, as they played (and got smoked) last night. It’s an interesting quiz. A tough quiz this week, no doubt. But that’s what makes it interesting. Gonna be anybody’s ballgame, especially since the music round is so hard. Hope to see ya tonight!

As many of you know, some friends of mine and I took over Shibe Sports about a year ago. We’ve got a great store with lots of cool gear, and I wanted to be sure I hooked you guys up for the holidays. So we’re doing a 15% off sale for all quizzo players. Just type in the promo code “quizzo” and get 15% off your order. The deal lasts through Friday, as that’s the last day you can order if you want to get it in time for Christmas.

We’re locally owned and operated, and much of our gear is made locally as well. If you have a sports fan in your life and are looking for the perfect gift, then be sure to check us out. We’ve got some great t-shirts, jackets, and hats with local teams such as the Flyers and Eagles but also with some more historic and obscure teams like the SPHAS (the Jewish team that dominated basketball in the 1930s and 40s) and the Stars (The USFL team that was the best football team in Philly history).

If you want to actually swing by the store, I’ll be there this Thursday from 11-3 and Friday from 11:30-4. I’ll also be there on the 23rd and 24th from 11-3. Swing on by. I’ll take care of ya.

Got a couple of guys trying out to be the next Johnny Goodtimes at tonight’s quizzes. At North Star Brendan will test his mettle, while  at Sidecar Paul “Blazin'” Hazen will give it a go (though as an avowed Communist I am a bit afraid that he’s just trying to destroy the quizzo business from the inside).

Action starts at North Star at 7 p.m. Sidecar at 9:30. See ya tonight!

Industry at 6:30 p.m. Bards at 9 p.m. A round on awful movies and ridiculous music. The Sandman guest hosting. Holla!
