We kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m., where we have a ton of specials. $5 burritos, nachos, and quesadillas. $5 shots of Cuervo. $3.50 margaritas and $3.50 Mexican beers. You’ll also get a shot at one of the hottest teams in quizzo, Savage Ear, who have won three straight weeks.

On to City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. Been absolutely out of control the past few weeks. And I have to say, though there were some teams I really liked last year, this year’s crop of Penn kids does a lot less cheating than they did in year’s past. It’s made for a much more enjoyable quiz. Kudos. See ya tonight! And yes, I will have Quizzo Bowl tickets on me.

(Video above is of Bing Supernova at Quizzo Bowl VII. There’s going to be plenty more madness at this year’s event. Get your team together!)

Those dirty stiffs from Geeks Who Drink stole my celebrity round idea and tried to pass it off as their own (worth mentioning, these corporate shills from GWD will have two teams at Quizzo Bowl) at this year’s Geek Bowl. Here’s their celeb round. (We blew it in this round, only getting four of them right). Answers are after the jump.

Just got back from Austin (above), where two teams represented Philly in the Geek Bowl. Some of the nerds from Sofa Kingdom (Nate, Swanson, Garbo, Kenney) teamed up with Phil from the Jams and Carl from the Specific Jawns to form Independence Hall and Oates. Meanwhile, I played with City Tap House regulars Underground Bard, and we finished a quite respectable 24th (out of 170 teams). Great event, well run by those corporate drones at Geeks Who Drink (more on them later).

We’ll be having our own shindig here in Philly very soon. I will have tickets to the oldest and most prestigious quizzo event in the country at quizzo tonight. Do not wait too long to buy yours..the event will sell out.

We start at North Star at 7 p.m. Half off mussels and hummus and $3 Kenzingers highlight a very winnable quiz. On to the Sidecar at 9:15 p.m. Dollar off all bitter beers. Hope to see ya tonight!
