Final Night to Earn Your JGTSpI Certificate is Tonight

Yes, there are certificates to the JGTSpI, and I will be giving out the final ones tonight at the Ugly American and Bards. Action starts at UA at 8 p.m. $2 lagers. We move to Bards at 10:15 p.m. (Don’t worry if you can’t pick up your invite before Sunday. Just let me know if your team made it if they want to play.)

We raised a lot of money at quizzo last night for CHOP, almost $200. Many extremely generous people in the quizzo community, including members of the staff at both the Rendezvous and the Black Sheep. If you can’t donate at quizzo, please give a donation here. We’ve raised $50 online so far, and I want to make it to $150 online. Hope to see ya tonight!

Quizzo for the Cause…Raising Money for CHOP


Hey gang, I am raising money for CHOP this week, and will be shaving off my hair on Friday as part of the Buzzing For Change program. 100% of the money raised will go towards the CHOP pediatric oncology program. I am gonna be asking you to donate a few dollars at quizzo tonight and tomorrow. If you can’t make it to quizzo this week, you can still donate here. Thanks!

Scores Heading Into Final Week of JGTSpI

Here they are. Our scores with one week left to go. Things are getting tight. Only 20 teams will earn an invite to Percy’s BBQ on Sunday at 1 p.m. Teams in yellow have lined up invites and if the season ended today would be fighting for the $75 Bonus Gift Certificate. Teams in green would earn an invite (there are a few more than 20, b/c I know some teams will combine forces and others will not be able to make it.) There are a few teams that have played under various names. If you want to play on Sunday, you must let me know what your team names were so I can combine your points! I will have actual invitations to hand out this week (on gold paper!)

Again, the event is this Sunday at Percy St. BBQ. If you’ve not tried their BBQ yet, you are in for a treat. It is awesome (and this is coming from a guy who is from BBQ country), which was a major reason why I asked them if we could hold the event there. Steve-O is going to entertain between rounds, and there will be great drink and food specials, as well as great prizes for the top finishers. Teams in the Top 10 after the season will be eligible for a bonus prize, and total of prizes will be worth over $500. This is gonna be a hoot. If you just need a few more points to get over the hump, there is one last physical challenge on facebook that can earn you up to 5 points. Hope to see ya there!

Steve-O to Perform Between Rounds at JGTSpI


Steve Odabashian will be the between round guest at the JGT Spring Invitational. Now, this is exciting not only because Steve-O is both a great piano player and a highly entertaining guy, but because he’s also one of the best players on the quizzo circuit…and he might end up on your team. Details coming soon. Regardless, be ready to sing along to some Monster Ballads, because it’s gonna be that type of party (and yes, he will be taking requests). Gonna be a lot of fun. Get your team out this week to earn an invite!

Quizzo Doubleheader at City Tap House Tonight!!!

Quizzo at O’Neals is cancelled this week due to Game 7, but worry not…there will be two different quizzes at City Tap House tonight. First up, at 8 p.m. Kristy B. and I are going to host a very special Science Quiz that has apparently been generating a lot of buzz…if you are gonna make it to this one, I suggest you get there early. Action starts at 8 p.m. sharp.

I will then keep the nerd party going with a 2nd, all new quiz at 10:15 p.m. While this one will not have any specific theme, I would expect a few questions about “Royals”, particularly crazy ones. But that’s just me. Yes, you can earn points to the JGTSpI in both. Hope to see ya tonight!

Quick Quizzo Notes

Quizzo at the Khyber is cancelled for tonight. Koob and Kristy will be hosting an All-Science Quizzo at the City Tap House tomorrow night.

Also, O’Neals quizzo for Tuesday is cancelled due to the Flyers game 7. City Tap House quiz is still on (following Koob and Kristy’s quiz) as far as I know.

Scores will be posted first thing tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. Steve-O has been signed on as a musical guest for Sunday’s quiz. Be ready to song along to your favorite monster ballads. And one lucky team will get him as a teammate. We’ll have a drawing before the game. See ya soon-JGT.
