Quizzo Tonight

We start week 3 of the JGTSI at the North Star tonight at 7 p.m. We were rocking and rolling last week. Let’s keep it going this week. Half off hummus and mussels and I’ll have tix to give away to an upcoming North Star show.

On to Sidecar at 9:30 p.m. I’ll have more t-shirts to give away, and dollar off all bitter beers. And while we’re doing a regular style quiz, I’m returning to your facebook answers for the wild card rounds this week. See ya tonight!
