Quizzo News and Notes

First of all, is this the future of quizzo? It seems kind of awesome. I really want to go to England and check it out. Hmmmm, we may have a “Send JGT to his Ancestral Homeland to Learn About Technological Quizzo Advances” fundraiser at some point soon. I really, really want to see this thing in action.

There is a new physical challenge on the facebook page if you are trying to earn points in the JGTSpI. More details on the big event coming soon.

Baseball quiz this Sunday! If you love baseball, don’t miss it!

Lord of the Rings quiz coming on April 21st at the Trestle Inn! More details coming next week.

If you missed it earlier, be sure to check out this interview I did with Kenn Kweder last weekend. Really a remarkable Philadelphian.

Just so we’re all on the same page here…the Nationals post earlier this week was an April Fool’s Day prank! I just want to make sure that’s clear. I hope Stephen Strasberg gets run over by a drunk Senator.

Looking for a win next week? Your best shots right now are probably North Star and Industry. And can someone please come to Black Sheep and knock off Duane’s World? This is getting ridiculous.

Congrats to Underground Bards for the best performance this past week. 39 out of 40 correct at City Tap House. Well Done!

Quizzo Tonight; and No, I’m Not Rooting for the Nationals

Quizzo tonight starts at O’Neals at 8 p.m. $5 tacos, nachoes, and quesadillas, as well as $3.50 Mexican beers. On to City Tap House where, like things have been a bit off the chain lately. Crazy packed. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. There is a math round this week, so things should be interesting. Don’t worry, it’s not too painful.

As far as yesterday’s post about the Nationals, it was an April Fool’s Day Joke. I wouldn’t root for the Nationals if they were playing the Soviets. I hope Bryce Harper falls into an active volcano. I caught some heat for it on twitter and facebook, but not as much as I wanted. Next time I pull a stunt like this, I expect more outrage. Of course, it worked out better than my April Fool’s joke a couple of years ago where I said I was going to quit quizzo to work for WIP…people stopped coming to my quizzes because they thought I had quit. That wasn’t my smartest move of all time.
