My buddy Noah is headed down from New York on Sunday to host a great trivia event at the World Cafe Live. The Big Quiz Thing is a very entertaining quiz (heavy on the music and movies). Any teams that play will earn 2 points in the JGTAI, and any teams that finish in the top 3 will earn the points that typically go with such a finish.

The winners will walk with $100, 2nd gets $50, and 3rd and 10th (yep, 10th) get $25. You can purchase tickets here. They’re $8 in advance, $10 at the door, which I know is the right price for you cheap bastar savvy consumers. You can get tickets here. So let me know if you wanna play. I’d like to put a team together myself.

Week 1 of the Spring Invitational wraps up tonight, as we quiz and do some french fry face-offs at Industry and Bards. Always great beer specials at Industry, which starts at 6:30, and $3 lagers at Bards, which starts at 9. And Industry is a bar where you’ve got a great shot of winning if you’re trying to get a jump start on the leader board.  Expect a few Irish questions, in honor of the Erin Express St. Patrick’s Day.

Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. Black Sheep at 8:15. Week 1 of the Invitational. Get your game face on!

We start the party at O’Neals at 8 p.m. $3.50 margaritas and Mexican beers. On to City Tap House at 10:30 p.m. $3 Narragansett Lagers and $5 Moscow Mules. Hope to see ya tonight!

Well, it’s time to kick back into gear with our 4th annual Spring Invitational. Action kicks off tonight at North Star at 7 p.m. On to the Sidecar at 9:30.

As for the rules of the Invitational: Winners at each quiz get 5 points, 2nd place 3, and 3rd place gets 1. There will also be special double points quizzes, where those numbers double. This week it will be tonight, at North Star and Sidecar. Let’s kick this thing off with a bang.

Any mention of my quiz on twitter will earn you a point (just use my handle, @johnnygoodtimes in your tweet).

I will also be posting a new trivia question on a regular basis on facebook. First one to answer correctly each time earns their team a point.

There will be other wacky ways to earn points as we go on. I’ll keep ya posted. Best of luck. Hundreds of teams will play…only 16 will earn an invite.

 

The funnest night of the week is tonight, as French Fry Faceoff will go down at Industry and Bards. Our music round this week is an interesting one, and the specials tonight are awesome. Neshaminy Lager and Yard Pale Ale are both $3 at Industry, and Lagers will be $3 at the Bards. See ya tonight!
