Quizzo Tonight!
I’ve been missing too many quizzes at the North Star lately, so tonight I’m gonna make it happen. That said, I have a private gig in Center City at 9 p.m., so I gotta start RIGHT at 7 p.m. and be done by 8:40, so be ready to rock n roll as soon as the clock strikes 7.
On to Sidecar at 9:30. The Sandman will be hosting. It’s Week 3 of the JGTAI. I’ll have pics posted tomorrow scores after two weeks as well. Hope to see ya tonight!
Getting Back Into Gear in the JGTAI; and Other Quizzo News and Notes
Ok, ok, so the past few weeks I’ve been playing catchup, as I had the big Comcast gig and then all of the crazed excitement surrounding the pope visit. But I’m starting to get my ducks back in a row. So here’s where we stand on the JGTAI:
I have posted a new photo challenge on the facebook page.
I have lined up a terrific band to play at the event.
The Big Event is going down on November 22nd. Still working on a venue. Hope to know something soon. Will let you know as soon as I do.
Scores after two weeks will be posted early next week. If you need to get on the scoreboard, you could hardly do better than playing tonight. At Industry, we’ve had 5 different winners in the past 6 weeks. At Bards, we’ve had 3 different winners in the past 4 weeks. Wide open at both spots. Interesting quiz tonight. You’re gonna dig it.
Regulars at North Star: I know I’ve missed a lot of Mondays there lately, but I still love you guys. I promise. I have one more gig this Monday, and then we’ll get back in our groove. (Sandman will host on Monday).
Alright, so that’s the latest. Get your quizzin shoes on and let’s do the damn thing.

Pope Francis to Host Wild Card Round at Quizzo Tonight?
There are a lot of rumors going around the city about the Pope hosting the wild card round at either Industry or Bards. I wish I had more info to give you but I don’t. I have yet to hear from his people, yet these whispers about him asking a few questions persist. No idea where they are emanating from.
Anyways, you should probably come to quizzo tonight on the off-chance that he decides to make an impromtpu appearance. I mean, he’s in town, he’s probably looking for stuff to do, and HEY, CRAZIER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED*. Action starts at Industry at 6:30. On to Bards at 9:15 pm. Hope to see you tonight!
