Motown New Year’s Eve Party

Hey gang, just a heads up that Carl of Specific Jawns fame, Chip Chantry of  Chip Chantry fame, and myself are hosting the best New Year’s Eve party in Philadephia. We’ve got a lineup of honestly the best comedians in Philadelphia (including Phillies Funniest winners Doogie Horner and Tommy Pope and Jimmy Kimmel staff writer Luke Cunningham). Then after the comedy portion of the evening, we’ll be getting down to the sounds of Motown, as DJ HonkyTron will be spinning Motown hits until 1:30 a.m.

$50 covers the show, the music, food, and a 4-hour open bar. Our goal was to keep it cheap and fun, and it’s gonna be both. For more info check it out on facebook. We’re only selling tix beforehand, not at the door, and we’re only going to sell a limited number to keep this fairly intimate. We’re not looking to blow it out. We’re just looking to have a very cool crowd, cover our costs, and have a great time. So be sure to order your tix online. Ticket info is on the facebook invite. We did a NYE party last year and it was tremendous, and this year promises to be even better. Hope you can make it! If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a line at johnny (at) johnnygoodtimes.com.

The Final Quiz of 2012

It’s tonight! The final quiz of the year. If one of your New Year’s Resolutions was to play at least one JGT Quizzo in 2012, this is your last chance to achieve your goals. Goals are so important. You really need to do this for your own peace of mind. Furthermore, I’m giving away free french fries. Ugly American at 8 p.m. Bards at 10:15 p.m.

It’s an interesting quiz. The first round is a picture round, then a great 50/50 round, and I’ll tell you right now that the wild card round is a 2012 Year in Review round. And I know that Duane’s World won last night only because one guy on the team (Anthony) studied and it got him an answer they wouldn’t otherwise have gotten. Just throwing that out there. Oh, and no question of the week this week. Hope to see you tonight!
