What the heck? Let’s dedicate a whole week to our neighbor to the East. All questions this week will be on the armpi great state of New Jersey! From famous Jersey natives to Jersey music to Jersey smells culture, we’ll be covering all the bases that make Jersey so hairy terrific! Only one quiz this week…and it’s all about Jersey. Should be interesting.
No quizzo tonight due to the Eagles game, but we still have some fun stuff going on. Come by the store (13th Street, between Walnut and Sansom) at 6ish to see a really cool presentation from former Mitchell and Ness owner Peter Capolino. We’ll then be doing a Chinese auction at Field House for the game at 8 p.m. Free to play, and lots of free giveaways. Hope to see ya tonight!
We’ll be back in action tomorrow night. Only one quiz this week. But there is an easy way to earn JGTAI points. Just post your favorite poem on the JGT Quizzo Facebook wall.
There is no quizzo on Monday night. The Eagles game will be on and everyone in Philly will be watching it, no matter how distraught they are about Shady McCoy’s tips at burger joints. But just because we called off quizzo for the night doesn’t mean we called off the fun. We’ve got a really cool event going down before the quiz, as Peter Capolino, the former owner of Mitchell and Ness, is going to show us various uniforms the Eagles have worn through the years. We did one of these in August with Phillies jerseys and it was awesome. So we’re extremely excited to have Peter back to talk Birds.
After the talk, we’re going to head over to Field House to watch the game on their big screen TV and do a Chinese auction, where we’ll be giving away shirts and other prizes when the Eagles score. We did it for the WOrld Cup and had a lot of fun, and it will be similar for the Birds game. That will kick off at 8 p.m. So let’s get together on Monday night, even when we’re not answering questions, and watch the Birds. Hope to see ya then!
The Sandman is gonna fill in for me tonight. As some of you have noticed the past few nights, I’ve been shuffling around rather slowly. I have a condition the professionals call Ole Slew Foot, which has made walking painful. Anyways, I’m gonna stay off my feet tonight and the Sandman will fill in. Meaning no French Fry face-off, but there will still be JGTAI points on the line. So get your butts to the Industry at 6:30 p.m. and the Bards at 9 p.m. The Sandman does a good job. You’ll dig it. And hopefully my enormous Hulk Foot will reduce in size in time for next week.

Thought that no Philadelphia baseball teams had a shot to win a title this year? Think again. The Athletic Club of Philadelphia will be taking on teams from all across the region in the grand old game of Base-Ball. Playing by rules set down in 1864, they will take on all comers at the Navy Yard this weekend. In addition to the baseball, Shibe Sports will have a table set up with our gear at sale prices, as well as a couple of brand new shirts for sale, and there will be BBQ offered by Phoebe’s and ice cream from Franklin Fountain. Games run from 10-4 both Saturday and Sunday.
CHeck out this interview I just did with the President of the Athletic Club of Philadelphia to learn more about baseball 150 years ago. And go here to learn more about the event itself. I’ll be down there both days, so if you want to hang out and watch some baseball, come on down!
