Getting Back Into Gear in the JGTAI; and Other Quizzo News and Notes

autumninvite

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?

130729212738-pope-microphone-story-top

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!

Quizzo Tonight


Let’s get it going at Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. The Autumn Invitational is underway, so get your game on steady. On to Founding Fathers at 8:30 p.m., where we offer the illustrious 7th place prize. We’ll also have 1/2 off all apps and $1 off Flying Fish and Dogfish Head. Hope to see ya tonight!

Oh, and happy birthday to the late, great Ray Charles!

Autumn Invitational Is Now Underway!

Whoa, looked at my calendar earlier today and suddenly realized it was already September 22nd. What the hell? Ok, so that means we need to get cranking on the Invitational. In fact, it started last night. 8 week season, one week wild card, with the finals on November 22nd. Same as usual, 5 points for a win, 3 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd. And some bonus points thrown in for good measure. Get your squad ready, and start earning some points!

Quizzo Tonight

We get the party started at O’Neals at 8 p.m. Any team that scores over 110 gets a $50 bonus, resulting in $100 total gift cert prize for the winners. On to City Tap House at 10:15. With the Pope coming to town, I’d expect the music and wild card rounds to be VERY loosely based on him. Hope to see ya tonight!
