JGTSI Scores With One Night Remaining!

summerinvite2015

Here ya go, our scores with but one night left to play before the regular season ends (wild card week will be next week. More on that soon.) Teams in green have received an invite. Teams in yellow I still need to get ahold of. And teams in blue are on the bubble. (The team whose name has been replaced with a black mark will be out of town next Sunday, and therefore all mentions of them have been purged from JGT Quizzo history.) For From Parts Unknown and Hooter and Chuff, this is possibly a big night.

As for next week, that will be wild card week. Any team that wins next week will earn an automatic invite to the Big Event, held Sunday, August 16th at the Urban Saloon at 5:30 p.m.

Quizzo Tonight

Jimmy-Rollins4

Action begins at O’Neals at 8 p.m. The Sandman hosts, as I’m headed down to the ballpark to see Jimmy Rollins first game back. He was my favorite player during the team’s 2007-2011 run, so I’m excited to be there for the return. First time I’ve ever paid hookie for a baseball game, but it’s one I really want to be a part of.

The Sandman is in charge at O’Neals and will do a good job. The wild card round is on robots. Since Philly kills them.

I will be there for City Tap House quiz tonight. Gonna leave the game early so we can make it happen. I believe we will be al fresco tonight, as it looks like a beautiful night. Hope to see ya tonight!

JGTSI Scores With One Week to Go

summerinvite2015

Well, we’ve got one week left in the JGTSI, and things are getting heated. Here are our scores. There are several teams in the fight for those last few spots, and the top 16 will be determined this week. The event is taking place on August 16th at the Urban Saloon. We’ve got several teams fighting for their first spot in an invite, but they’ve got some work to do. Teams like Game Blouses, Shades of Death, and Pop Shop all have a great shot but need big weeks to earn an invite. There is some good news on that front, however: an easy way to get some points is via Facebook Bonus Points, which you can earn right now.

Dude Hates Cancer Week Wraps Up Tonight; Over $1000 Raised So Far

954740_10152838678105123_594557205_n_1x

In 6 quizzes we’ve raised over $1000 for The Dude Hates Cancer. Really honored to be part of such a giving community. So far O’Neals has been the most generous, with $200 raised. Can the Industry or Bards top them tonight?

We start at Industry at 6:30 p.m. We were rocking and rolling last week, let’s keep the party going this week as well. As always, terrific food and excellent craft beer specials. And probably our most winnable quiz, with a new team taking the title nearly every week.

On to Bards at 9:15 p.m. $3 Lagers and assorted nonsense.

The JGTSI venue has been confirmed…Urban Saloon on August 16th. More details coming soon.

Quizzo Tonight

We keep it rolling at the Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. On to Founding Fathers at 8:30 p.m. Great specials at both, and of course our vaunted 7th place prize at Founding Fathers.

Thus far this week, we’ve raised $665 for the Dude Hates Cancer. I’d love to cross the $1000 mark tonight. I’d expect a few questions loosely based on The Dude Hates Cancer. See ya tonight!

Quizzo Tonight!

We kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m. Not only are we fundraising for the Dude hates Cancer (we raised $365 at quizzo last night), you’ll also have a shot of winning an extra $50…Spoonie is offering an extra $50 to any team that cracks 110 points to win.

On to City Tap House at 10:15. Been a lot of fun there the past few weeks. Busier this summer than summers past. Hope to see ya tonight!

The Dude Hates Cancer Week Starts Tonight

Screen shot 2015-07-27 at 3.06.01 PM

 

We’re doing our annual “Dude Hates Cancer Week” this week at quizzo. We will be selling restaurant raffle tickets, just like last year, and our wild card round will not be a Lebowski round, per se, but will be somehow influenced by that great film. $5 buys you one raffle ticket, $20 buys you 6 (and gets you a free pair of sunglasses). Most importantly, 100% of the proceeds raised go to a great cause, the Dude Hates Cancer, an annual bowling fundraiser inspired by the film. This year’s event will be on August 29th at South Bowl, and there are still some spots available.

Action starts tonight at North Star at 7 p.m. We move to Sidecar at 9:30. Hope to see you tonight!
