Quizzo News and Notes

Some fun stuff going on in the next few weeks I thought you’d want to know about.

First of all, I’ll be emceeing a field day event at City Tap House on Saturday. It’s part of Beer Week, and details are coming soon.

On Sunday, we’re gonna be seeing how much you know about the show Breaking Bad…with a few drug questions mixed in to see how well you know illegal narcotics. Action starts at the POPE at 8 p.m.

On Sunday, June 10th, we’re gonna quiz you on a very different show…Seinfeld quiz at the Trestle Inn.

Many more details coming soon on all of these events, but I just wanted to give you a quick heads up. Word.
