My most dreaded week of the year, but I know you nerds love it, so I’ll do it anyway (The sacrifices). Science and technology week at quizzo. All questions will be more or less based on science, inventors, technology, and yes, some science fiction. We start tonight at North Star at 7 p.m. Half price hummus (which is great, btw) and mussels, $3 Kenzingers. On to the Sidecar at 9:15 p.m. Dollar off all bitter beers. Hope to see ya tonight.

Pics Going Up Saturday
Sorry gang, been working on a Jackie Robinson piece all day and got a haircut. Pics will go up tomorrow. Scoreboard will be up on Monday.
Sports Shorts
Tuesday I did my piece in the Philly Post in which I accuse sports journalists and fans of being completely self-righteous…by being completely self-righteous. Nonetheless, a fairly interesting piece about Ozzie Guillen and Fidel Castro I think you might enjoy.
So every matchup in our Philly’s Most Infuriating Contest is tied or separated by one vote. Please vote and let us break these ties.
Learn about the Phillies very first Opening Day in 1883, the best Philadelphia baseball player you’ve never heard of, and the only person to play for both the Eagles and the Phillies at the site, Philly Sports History.
Quizzo Tonight
The best beer deals in Philly at quizzo tonight. $2 Lagers at both spots. We start at Ugly American at 8 p.m. This is kind of a long quiz (two mystery rounds) so I’m gonna start as close as possible to 8 p.m. tonight. Of course, I’ve said that before. Move to Bards at 10:15 p.m. It’s an intriguing quiz. Two mystery rounds. People seemed to have more trouble with the regular mystery round than the musical mystery round last night. We’ll see how you do tonight.
