We’re back at it this evening with a couple of great quizzes. We start the party at Industry at 6:30 p.m. $40 gift cert for first, $20 bonus if you can reach 115 points. $3 craft beers (yeah, you heard me right), delicious food, and terrific service. IF YOU LIKE THAT KIND OF THING.

On to Bards at 9:15. Let’s get it.

Action starts at the Vous at 6:15. In case you missed it earlier this week, Vous GM Michele was interviewed. Good stuff.

On to Founding Fathers at 8:30. Half off all appetizers. And yes, the vaunted 7th place prize. See you tonight!

We kick it off at O’Neals tonight at 8 p.m. Double your gift cert if you can top 120. On to City Tap House, and you’re not gonna believe who is waiting tables: Erin from the North Star! After they closed I told her to talk to Andy at CTH. The interview went well, they hired her, and she’s gonna work quizzo nights! Very cool. Action starts at 10:15 (Last week I ran a bit behind so we started late but this week I’ll try to get there on time). Hope to see ya tonight!

If you’d like to all but wrap up an invite to the JGT Autumn Invitational on November 22nd at the City Tap House, you should definitely play tonight at Industry. We have a tremendous amount of parity, so it’s anybody’s ballgame. Tonight, in addition to our regular $40 and $20 prizes, we’ll offer a $20 bonus to any team that can score 115. As for drink specials, we’ve got $3 Ninkasi Belgian IPAs and Victory Prima Pils. Action starts at 6:30 p.m.

On to Bards at 9:15. Our usual mayhem, $3 lagers, the legendary Michael behind the bar.

Thus far this week, we’ve raised over $500 for PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society). You guys are just incredible. Let’s try to get that number up to $750 by the end of the week. Such a terrific charity, and so psyched to be involved with them. So anyway, tonight’s quizzo is all animal questions. A tough music round that took down some of our best teams last night.

Hey guys, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the closing of North Star (understandably). Here is where we stand as of now: they are going to be closing for a couple of weeks for renovations, as well as changing the concept and the name. I have not yet confirmed that I will be returning there when they re-open, but as of now that is the plan.

Regardless, assuming I decide to keep an 8th quiz (will have to talk that one over with the wife), I will be staying in the neighborhood. We’ve got a great crew of regulars and we’re not gonna leave that hood . Once I talk to the new owner, I’ll have a better idea of what the game plan is, but just wanted to make sure that the regulars at North Star knew that if we miss a couple of weeks there, it will only be temporary. I will either be coming back with the new bar or I will find another spot in the same hood (or, on the off chance I do decide to stay home on Mondays, I will have a solid replacement lined up to do my quiz. Franchising!)

Finally, I am going to miss working with the North Star crew. Steven, Erin, and Steph have been a pleasure to work with, and I know everyone liked the entire Monday Night “team”, not just the quiz. Best wishes to all of them moving forward (Steph has actually started to do some artwork for Shibe, so we’ll stay in touch.) Alright, as soon as I have more updates, I will keep you guys informed.
