Mad Men Quizzo Coming Soon. At a 60s Bar. It’s Gonna Be Awesome

We’ve done a quiz for The Wire. We’ve done a quiz for Twin Peaks. It’s time to do another one of the greatest shows in TV history. Mad Men. I am a huge fan of the show, and have been wanting to do this for a while. So it’s going down a few hours before the season 5 premiere. On Sunday, March 25th at the Trestle Inn (11th and Callowhill), we’re going to find out how much you know about Don Draper, Roger Sterling, Peggy Olsen and Madison Avenue in the 1960s. This is going to be an insanely fun quiz, and we’re doing it at a bar that specializes in 60s cocktails. I specifically wanted to host it there so we could catch that 60s vibe, and the Trestle Inn is perfect.

In addition to quizzo prizes, we’re also going to give a prize for best Mad Men outfit. Action starts at 5:30 p.m., so we’ll be done and drunk off martinis before heading home to see the season premiere at 9 p.m. Please click “Like” below to help spread the word. I don’t want any fans of Mad Men to miss this. I thought The Wire quiz was insanely good. I have almost as much respect for this show as I do for The Wire, so I plan on writing an equally awesome quiz. Don’t miss it.

Spring Invitational Begins Tonight

We kick it off at North Star at 7 p.m. Name that Tune for free beers and concert tickets, as well as half-off all mussels and hummus. On to the Sidecar at 9:15 p.m. They had a minor scare yesterday, but everything is A-Ok and we are in business as usual.

Tonight also marks the kickoff of our 2nd Annual Spring Invitational. I’ll be keeping track of points for the next 8 weeks, with a wild card week at the end. The Top 15 teams will qualify for the Invitational. More details coming soon. Also, I will have our annual Bracket-tacular up later this afternoon.
