On to Bards at 9 p.m. French fries and candy to give away tonight. And a quiz that saw two big 5th round comebacks last night. See ya there!
Big prizes at quizzo tonight. $50 for the winners at O’Neals and $25 for 2nd Place. $100 for winners at CTH, $50 for 2nd, $25 for third.
Also, because of the Flyers game, we’ll be moving quizzo up to the 2nd floor tonight. And yes, the game will be on tv upstairs as well.
On to CTH at 10:15 p.m. $4 Gansett Lagers. An interesting quiz this week…the 1st round has proven harder than the 5th. See ya tonight!
What rap group released a song called “Fire and Earth (100% Natural)” in 1992?
In honor of Earth Day, this week is Earth Air Fire Water Week. All questions will be on the four classical elements, though that certainly covers a lot of ground. Should be an interesting quiz.
Couple of other quick notes: Tuesday night at O’Neals quizzo will be upstairs on the 2nd floor due to the Flyers game. And yes, you can watch the Flyers game while you play upstairs.
Also, on Thursday it’s Dining Out for Life, so your team has gotta make reservations at Industry. Quit yer whinin and just call already. 215-271-9500.
Game of Thrones at City Tap House in June. Details coming soon. A couple of other specialty quizzes are also in the books
Here are your scores after 7 weeks. Time is of the essence, and there are several teams on the bubble who need to get their act right. I am also offering a bonus prize drawing to teams that finish in the Top 10 at the Invitational, so those teams are now colored orange. Teams in Yellow would still earn an invite, and teams in blue need to step their games up. Your best odds to get a win? They are tonight, at North Star at 7 and Sidecar at 9:30.
First of all: yes, the Flyers game will be on at Industry tonight. So you can watch the game and play some quizzo. If it’s close and everyone is watching it at Bards, we’ll wait until it’s over to get started (hockey game should be over by 9:30).
Action starts at Industry at 6:30 p.m. We’ll have French Fry faceoff and Name That Tune. Same thing at Bards at 9ish. $3 beers at both spots. And do not miss this quiz if you’re a literature fan. See ya tonight!
We kick it off at the Vous at 6:15 p.m., then move to Black Sheep at 8:15 p.m. I will be heading back from Parts Unknown and thus the Sandman will be hosting the quiz. Gonna be a good quiz…expect a few literature questions.
Published in 1898, who wrote a novel titled Futility: Wreck of the Titan about a huge passenger liner which strikes an iceburg in April, resulting in the death of hundreds because there weren’t enough lifeboats?
