I’ve got two tickets to the Made in America concert to give away tonight at O’Neals quiz, a value of over $200. Action starts at 8 p.m. And if you’re a fan of cartoons, do not miss this quiz! $3.50 margaritas, and a $50 gift cert for the winner.
On to City Tap, where we’ll be quizzin al fresco tonight. We’ve been having a lot of fun with it the past few weeks and it looks like another gorgeous night tonight. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. See ya tonight!
We’re back in action tonight after a thrilling JGTSI last night at the Field House (details coming tomorrow or Wednesday). We start it at the North Star at 7 p.m. Great food specials and a great chance to get a win. On to the Sidecar at 9:30 p.m. You know how we do. Great bar, fun quiz. Hope to see you there!
WHO: Teams that earned an invite by scoring the most points over the past 8 weeks, as well as teams that earned a wild card slot.

WHEN: Sunday, August 24th at 5:30 p.m.
WHERE: Field House (1150 Filbert).
WHY: Why not? A great chance for the regulars to get together, have a few cold ones, answer a few question, and listen to some good tunes.
DID YOU SAY TUNES? Yes, the Tom Moon Trio will be playing jazz between rounds.
WHAT’S THE COVER? $10 a pop. PER TEAM? No, per person. Gotta pay for the band and for prizes. It’ll be well worth it.
WILL IT BE FUN? Gee, I dunno, quizzo, live music, great drink and food specials, big prizes…Of course it will be fun!
WHAT’S THE TEAM MAX? 8 players.
I WANNA GO BUT DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT. CAN I? Yes! You can’t bring a full team but several teams will be short of 8 players, so if you and a friend or two want to attend, I’d be happy to team you up with a crew that needs a couple of players.
WHAT ABOUT ETERNAL GLORY? IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ETERNAL GLORY? Of course there is. Here are the previous four JGTSI winners:
2010: Steak Em Up

Begun in 1948 by sculptor Korzak Ziolkowski, a memorial dedicated to this man is still under construction. Who is he?
Action starts at North Star at 7 p.m. On to Sidecar at 9:30 p.m. A great opportunity to earn yourself an invite to Sunday’s Big Event, and these are both very winnable quizzes. I am back in town tonight, so let’s do it to it.
Here ya go. We are all wrapped up, and here are our scores. Teams in yellow in line for a bonus prize, teams in orange made the cut. Teams in green are on the bubble (if any teams ahead of them decline their invite, they’ll get one). And if you’re in blue, don’t worry. You’ve got one last chance this week. It’s wild card week. Every team that wins gets an automatic invite.
As for the event itself, those who made the cut will get an invite soon. It will go down this Sunday at 5:30 and feature great specials and live music. Details coming soon.
Sorry folks, meant to post this yesterday but forgot to. You can only play once this week. Only one quiz. We’ll be back to two quizzes next week. Also, quick reminder…final quiz at the Oval is this Saturday at 4 p.m.
After becoming part-owner of a new business and having a child within a two week time frame in December, the past eight months have been a complete whirlwind. So next week I am taking off and spending some time with my fam.
I leave you in good hands. The Sandman will do the quizzes all week. No theme, just a regular quiz.
He will be hosting the final two quizzes at the Oval. We’ve had a lot of fun with those over the past few weeks. If you haven’t checked out the beer garden there, I highly recommend it. Quizzos will be at 4 p.m.
The schedule for next week’s quizzes is over on the right. I won’t be posting on the blog next week so just let the schedule be your guide.
And I want to thank everyone who donated last week to the Dude Hates Cancer. We raised over $1500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! Awesome work guys. Whenever we do these Quizzo for the Causes, you all really toe the line. You’re a bunch of freaks and weirdos and nerds, but you’re still good people in my book. Talk to ya soon!
Just got a new batch of Eagles gear in at the store, located on 137 South 13th Street, between Walnut and Sansom. If you plan on buying Eagles gear for the upcoming season, I hope you’ll grab it from us. We’ve got a terrific selection of great looking shirts and hats. And we’re currently running a sale on this throwback Eagles hat. $25 and free shipping. You won’t find a better deal than this online for a hat of this quality. Just use the code “hat” when you checkout to get free shipping.
I also wrote a piece in Philly Mag this week about why the Phillies stink and we need to try to get the A’s back in town. Best thing I’ve written in a while. Worth a read if you’re a baseball fan.
Speaking of baseball, let’s go Taney Dragons! The Philly Little League team has advanced to the finals of their region and with a win on Sunday would advance to Williamsport. Even cooler? Their best pitcher is a girl. Several members of the team are on the Anderson Monarchs, who people in the G-Ho area are well aware of, as they play on that beautiful field at 18th and Fitzwater. The regional final will be on ESPN2 on Sunday at 6 p.m., so be sure to tune in and root on Philly!
Here ya go, your scores with one week left to play. If you need points, I’ve got good news, I just posted a physical challenge on facebook…up to 5 points for posting pics of yourself in the 90s. As for the Big Event, it will be taking place on August 24th at the Field House. More details coming soon. We’ll wrap up scoring next week, then have our wild card week the week before.
