Everybody on the Website Week

Plenty of teams come out to the quiz without getting their names up in lights with a first place finish. But they are the wheels that keep this bad boy rolling, and every once in a while, they deserve to be recognized. So this’s week we’re taking a pic of every team that plays, which I’ll then be posting on the JGT Quizzo facebook page. (Those of you trying to earn extra points for the JGTAI: You’ve got until tomorrow morning to post a pic of you wearing obnoxious red lipstick and/or boxing gloves)

Action starts tonight at North Star at 7 p.m. A very winnable quiz. If you are looking to earn some points in the JGTAI and help Philly win the Tycho Brahe Cup against numerous cities across the country, then this is a great chance to earn some points.  Plus we’ve got $3 Kenzingers and half off hummus and mussels. FInally, I’ll be giving away some tickets to the upcoming show of your choice. This is a great quiz. Come on out.

On to the Sidecar. Great beer, great food. Can you knock off the Sidecardigans (pictured, above)? Action starts at 9:15 p.m. Hope to see ya tonight!

VOTE: Best Rocky Horror Balboa Show Photoshop



The physical challenge for the past week was to post a photoshpped photo of Rocky and Rocky Horror Picture Show, and we’d vote for the best one. I expected to get like one or two. I got 8, all of them very well done. I’ve selected one from each team that submitted one, and now it’s up to you to vote for which one was best. Votes will be added up and winner determined tomorrow at 5 p.m. Each team got 3 points for submitting one, one team will get 3 bonus points for having the best one (plus a bonus prize of some sort). I’ll post the pics below, you vote above for which one you liked best. Why are we doing this? Because we’re having a Rocky Horror Balboa Picture Show quiz this Sunday at 8 p.m. at the Trestle Inn.

Rocky Horror Balboa Show This Sunday

The Rocky Horror Balboa Show quiz is going down this Sunday at the Trestle Inn. “That’s great, Johnny, but what the hell does that mean?” some of you are asking. It means that we are going to do the first quiz in the history of the world that combines your knowledge of Magenta with your knowledge of Clubber Lang, your knowledge of Riff Raff with your knowledge of Uncle Paulie.  How much do you know about two of the most remarkable movies of the mid-1970s…and the ridiculous Rocky sequels since. This is gonna  be a helluva fun quiz. Hope you can make it out. Action starts at 8 p.m. See ya there!

1929 World Series Starts Today!

Last year, I had a lot of fun carrying the 1911 World Series as if it were live. This year I’m fast forwarding a few years, to 1929, when the Mighty A’s took on the Chicago Cubs, who were trying to break a 21 game World Series drought. Analysis, interviews, and awesome photos, the goal is to cover the Series as if I had a sports blog at the time and was covering it live. If you’re a baseball fan, I assure you, it’s gonna be a lot of fun. Click here to see our “sponsors”, how much tickets cost, and who the unlikely hero of Game 1 was.
