My buddy Noah is headed down from New York on Sunday to host a great trivia event at the World Cafe Live. The Big Quiz Thing is a very entertaining quiz (heavy on the music and movies). Any teams that play will earn 2 points in the JGTAI, and any teams that finish in the top 3 will earn the points that typically go with such a finish.

The winners will walk with $100, 2nd gets $50, and 3rd and 10th (yep, 10th) get $25. You can purchase tickets here. They’re $8 in advance, $10 at the door, which I know is the right price for you cheap bastar savvy consumers. You can get tickets here. So let me know if you wanna play. I’d like to put a team together myself.

Week 1 of the Spring Invitational wraps up tonight, as we quiz and do some french fry face-offs at Industry and Bards. Always great beer specials at Industry, which starts at 6:30, and $3 lagers at Bards, which starts at 9. And Industry is a bar where you’ve got a great shot of winning if you’re trying to get a jump start on the leader board.  Expect a few Irish questions, in honor of the Erin Express St. Patrick’s Day.

Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. Black Sheep at 8:15. Week 1 of the Invitational. Get your game face on!

We start the party at O’Neals at 8 p.m. $3.50 margaritas and Mexican beers. On to City Tap House at 10:30 p.m. $3 Narragansett Lagers and $5 Moscow Mules. Hope to see ya tonight!

Well, it’s time to kick back into gear with our 4th annual Spring Invitational. Action kicks off tonight at North Star at 7 p.m. On to the Sidecar at 9:30.

As for the rules of the Invitational: Winners at each quiz get 5 points, 2nd place 3, and 3rd place gets 1. There will also be special double points quizzes, where those numbers double. This week it will be tonight, at North Star and Sidecar. Let’s kick this thing off with a bang.

Any mention of my quiz on twitter will earn you a point (just use my handle, @johnnygoodtimes in your tweet).

I will also be posting a new trivia question on a regular basis on facebook. First one to answer correctly each time earns their team a point.

There will be other wacky ways to earn points as we go on. I’ll keep ya posted. Best of luck. Hundreds of teams will play…only 16 will earn an invite.

 

The funnest night of the week is tonight, as French Fry Faceoff will go down at Industry and Bards. Our music round this week is an interesting one, and the specials tonight are awesome. Neshaminy Lager and Yard Pale Ale are both $3 at Industry, and Lagers will be $3 at the Bards. See ya tonight!

Had to go Vaudeville style last night after microphone crapped out. I’ll have a brand new mic tonight. Action kicks off at the Industry at 6:30 p.m. On to the Bards at 9 p.m. With the Oscars coming on Sunday, I’d expect a few Oscars questions.

Anybody who wants to take in the above view today at 4 p.m. while drinking $3 beers and listening to a steel drum band that has not already bought a ticket, meet us down at 401 South Columbus Blvd at 2 p.m. (CASH OR CHECK ONLY!) There are still some tables available!

Next up, download your Uber app. You’re going to want to request a pickup, give yourself a few minutes to get picked up, etc. Give yourself time to get there early! Try to arrive at around 2. Once the boat has left the dock it ain’t coming back, and we gotta give everyone boarding passes, so I want to get everyone there early so we can get em boarded and get this party started as early as possible. If you are driving and not taking a cab, here is a map of where the place is. It’s at 401 South Columbus Boulevard, located right next to the Moshulu.

Once we board the boat, it will be meal time. Find your team a table and dig in at the buffet. If you’ve got a smaller team I’ll do my best to hook you up with a larger one. There will be half a sheet of paper in front of you. Put your team name on that and walk it over to the judges table. We will begin the festivities with a sweet little jam (no rapping of course), and then it’s time to jump right in.

We will do five rounds, ten questions each, with breaks after the second and fourth rounds. We are on an extremely tight time schedule, so there is a pretty good possibility that we will be reading the final results at the afterparty! Just a heads up.

As for the afterparty, it will be at Winterfest, which is a 10-15 minute walk up the waterfront. Gonna be an awesome night for a waterfront stroll. Just head towards Penn’s Landing when you get off the boat and it’s right past that, just beyond the ice skating rink.

That’s where we will reveal our final scores, that’s where TJ Kong moves from leading a yacht rock group to a down and dirty rock and roll band, where if you want to you can hang out by the fire pits, where the WID will perform his insanity, and where we’ll be giving away the over $600 worth of prizes we’ve got to give away. There are also rumors of a roving band of guerilla comedians appearing at the outdoor part of the facility. We’ll see. All in all, it’s gonna be a ton of action, a ton of fun, and I hope to see ya there!

Like I said yesterday in my interview with Philly Mag, I will jump into the Delaware River tomorrow if we sell out Quizzo Bowl. So now, on top of 2 bands, a comedian, a free cab ride, free food, a yacht ride and tons of prizes to give away, you will now have the opportunity to see me possibly die in spectacular fashion. What a bargain!

UPDATE: I have just been informed that jumping into the Delaware is illegal. So you will now have an opportunity to see me get arrested if you come to Quizzo Bowl! I mean, what better deal can I give you people?
