Once again, I have gotten a ton of feedback from bands interested in playing at Quizzo Bowl. But during the middle of the week, I have absolutely no time to listen to all of the bands. I will listen to all of them this weekend, as that is my only objective besides watching the Eagles game.
Quizzo Bowl Tix on Sale Monday!
Hey gang, tix for Quizzo Bowl 3 will go on sale this Monday. You will be able to buy them either online or on consignment from me.
Eagles Elvis presents: Around the horn
-Kelly Clarkson is looking a little rough.
-Don’t worry, they are only enforcing the smoking ban at bars no-one has ever heard of.
-The 2nd round this week was one of the toughest ever. It was, “List 10 of the top 20 Fortune 500 companies.” Here is the entire list.
It’s gettin’, it’s gettin’, it’s gettin’ kinda hectic
As you might imagine, things are getting a little crazy as we head into QUizzo Bowl time, so if I’m not posting quite as much, you’ll know why. (OK, non sequiter: I just sneezed really hard and hurt my shoulder. Bad. I’m not kidding.) Anyways, I’m getting TONS of responses from bands wanting to play at QB3, so I’ll be scoping them out quite a bit over the next few days. If you contacted me, thank you. Fair warning: It will probably take at least a few days for me to get back to you. I’m also waiting to hear back from my halftime performer. Hopefully I’ll have some more info soon. I expect tix to go on sale next week. I’ll keep ya updated.
Dork Sided wins at O’Neals
Bill Buckner gets all the blame, but who was the Boston pitcher who threw the wild pitch that allowed the game to be tied before Mookie hit the ball through Buckners legs?
Last weeks winners
Yeah, I totally forgot to post pics of last weeks winners, so I’m gonna post ’em now To find out how they won, click here. BTW, in honor of Tony Rom this weeks questions will all be about great chokers. One guess per person.
Johnny Needs a Band for QB3!
The good news is that we’re gonna get to party like rock stars at this year’s Quizzo Bowl, because it’s on a Saturday. The bad news is that the Crowd Pleasers cannot perform, since they perform at Bob and Barbara’s on Saturday nights. So Johnny needs a new backup band, and I figured that it would be fun to get the word out and see who was interested. I’m probably wanting to stay lounge-actish, if possible, but all entries will be considered. If you’re in a band, have friends who are, or know of a perfect group for this, it is a paying gig and it is on the main stage at the World Cafe Live on Saturday, February 3rd. Just contact me if you are interested.
Meet Amber, the woman who’s gonna help you find a Little Brother!
Well, we’re kicking into gear this week as I start recruiting people to do their part to make Philly the greatest city in the country. As I said before, it takes more than great restaurants, museums, and nightlife. It also takes a feeling of community, an honest effort by its citizens to go the extra mile to help those less fortunate. Amber Adamson at BBBS is going to help me achieve my goal by matching you with prospective Little Brothers. Here’s a bit more about her and about our mission:
My name is Amber Adamson and I work at Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern PA (BBBS SEPA). I have lived in the Philly area for the past 10 years (wow, that long already- I AM getting old). I was a student at Swarthmore and Penn, and have held a few different postions in the past 6 years-working first as a teacher for kids with learning disabilities, a year doing an Americorps VISTA and then of course, Big Brothers Big Sisters. Outside of work, I enjoy celebrity gossip, drinking wine, wearing high heels and going to the beach (THE SHORE)!
Johnny Goodtimes volunteers as a Big Brother with BBBS. He wanted to start the New Year off on the right foot by helping to recruit MORE MEN to become Big Brothers for BBBS. I am here to help YOU start 2007 right by learning more about how to become a “Big” like Johnny.
So, let me tell you about BBBS SEPA. Our “Bigs” (adults who volunteer to be friends with a child) and “Littles” (what the children are called) do simple things together, like playing football in the park, playing video games or even going grocery shopping. It’s quite simple and easy – these children simply need someone in their life to spend time with them and show them that someone cares.
Not to scare you, but but we have about 1,000 boys who are waiting to be matched for a Big Brother, and honestly, we don’t have enough men to pair them with.
This is where you come in. We are looking for a few good men to step up and spend a few hours a month with a boy in our program. You and your friends can be just what the boys on our waiting list need. You don’t need to be an expert to be a mentor. If you can be yourself and have fun, you can be a “Big”! Johnny Goodtimes is a Big Brother and he LOVES it- just ask him. See if it sounds like something YOU would want to do.
Johnny has committed to getting 100 boys off the waiting list and matched to a Big Brother by the end of 2007. Want to help?
Just give me a shout and we can start the process.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

New York Stinks
First the Jets lose. Then the GIants lose. The Knicks are a joke. Then Cal Tech, a school which had not won a basketball game in over 11 years, defeats Bard College. From? New York. Finally, New York notices a foul stench descending on their city, and it takes those morons almost 24 hours to figure out that it was coming from Jersey, something I coulda told ’em in 30 seconds. Hey morons, here’s a quick rule of thumb: the stench is always coming from Jersey.
Question of the Week
The world’s smallest “country” (actually just a former anti aircraft platform off the coast of England), which has it’s own currency, flag, national anthem, and stamps has just gone on sale. What is this “nation” called?
