Quizzo Tonight

We kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m., then onto City Tap House at 10:15. Pretty interesting music round. And yes, I will have Quizzo Bowl tickets for sale on me. Hope to see ya tonight!

Yachtin’ Weather

As you look out on yet another bleak, snowy winter day today, and you think of all of those recent weekends that have been ruined by bad weather, keep this in mind: you can either keep your string of cabin fever weekends going this Saturday, or you can get on a yacht, listen to a terrific band, drink a few cold ones, and play a little quizzo. After that you can walk down the waterfront on a practically balmy day to the afterparty, where you can see a legendary comedian, win prizes, and listen to one of the best rock bands you will ever see in your life. Get on the boat!

A Quick Note on the Price of Quizzo Bowl

A few people who have attended the past several Quizzo Bowls at the World Cafe Live have been complaining that the ticket price to the event is too high this year. Assuming you spent $10 on a cab to get to World Cafe Live (cab ride will be free to this event*) and $15 on a meal at WCL (meal will be free on board the ship**), the cost of this year’s event is the exact same ($50 each). The major differences will be that the World Cafe Live did not float up and down the Delaware River and that there was no live music and comedy at previous afterparties. This is, quite simply, a better deal than I offered last year.

**food will include cheesesteaks, wings, pretzel bites, and ziti.

GET ON THE BOAT!

DJ Starr to Take Photos for the 7th Straight Quizzo Bowl

I am excited to announce that the incredibly talented DJ Starr, who has documented every Quizzo Bowl since Quizzo Bowl IV in pictures, will be taking photographs again this year on board the boat. Someday, thanks to the great work by DJ, our kids are going to look at these insane photos us and wonder what the hell was wrong with us. Here are his photos from each previous Quizzo Bowl. If you’ve never been, these will give you a pretty good idea of what kind of insanity you’re in for. If you have been, you’ll probably find yourself in one of these pics.

BREAKING NEWS: The Legendary WID to Entertain at Quizzo Bowl X Afterparty

The Legendary WID, who nearly started a riot at Quizzo Bowl IV, has waited 6 years for his redemption. This year, he gets it. One of the funniest men in Philadelphia, he is nothing short of genius. I am extremely excited to have him on board for the afterparty, which will also be a celebration of ten years of quizzo. We will have tons of giveaways, a Q&A with Fastball Bob, and of course, lots of TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb. This is going to be one of the wildest events you ever attend.

A Note to All of the Haters

A lot of haters out there be sayin’ that I won’t be able to out-bedazzle Johnny Weir with my outfit at Quizzo Bowl. That he’s JUST …TOO…MAGNIFICENT. I won’t deny that Weir has stepped his game up big time (especially today), and has put the rest of us flashy sportcoat wearers on alert with what can only be described as a gold medal performance. But this ain’t my first rodeo, and he’s not the first challenger to the throne. Just you wait, people. Just you wait.

Question of the Week

Humphrey Bogart and his third wife were known for their loud drunken arguments and explosive arguments, and he finally left her in 1945. Who was she?

Dress for the High Seas at Quizzo Bowl X

We are definitely going with a nautical theme at Quizzo Bowl X, and I highly encourage teams to dress with a nautical theme. Whether that means pirate, mermaid, captain, or pompous jackass preparing to sail with a popped collar and a sweater around his shoulders, that’s up to you. Best dressed team will be rewarded with quite a bounty. TICKETS TO QUIZZO BOWL X CAN BE PURCHASED HERE.
