Johnny to host sports quizzo January 9th
Johnny will be hosting a sports only quizzo on Monday, January 9th, 8 PM at Barrister’s Bar and Grille (1823 Sansom), the newest sports bar in Philly. The winning team will walk away with a $50 gift certificate, and second place will get a $30 gift certificate. Yuengling and Miller Lite drafts will be $2. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, and I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun. I also think you’re really gonna like this bar, if you haven’t checked it out already. The food is really good, the staff is really friendly, and they’ve got five flat screens.
Just a quick note…
I wouldn’t make plans, if I were you, for Sunday, January 29th. Might wanna leave that one open on the calendar. I’m just saying, is all.
Question of the Week
What Philadelphia restaurant had a disastrous New Year’s Eve party in which they ran out of booze at 9:30 p.m., and people started throwing bottles and stealing artwork before the cops showed up?
Get a discount on a Play at the Adrienne
Rival quizmaster and occasional quizzo player John K. will be producing a play that’s going to be appearing at the Adrienne(2030 Sansom) this week. If you get a chance, check it out.
“The Distance From Here,” by Neil LaBute, is dark, funny, nihilistic entertainment. Basically what you’d expect from a show Stephen and I produce. We’ve got a fantastic young cast and this one is going to blow you right out of the seats. And it’s the Philadelphia premiere (our first) so that’s pretty neat too.

Team Gossamer Wins, Resolves to accrue new vices in 2006
Team Gossamer won a close one at the Bards on Thursday, then made a startling resolution: that they were going to try to participate in more self destructive behavior in 2006. “Yeah,” said Eleanor Bartleby, “I feel like I’ve been practicing far too much restraint in the past several years. It’s time to let loose. Expect to see me engaging in a lot of high risk behavior-drinking lots of corn whiskey, possibly dabbling in prescription strength pain killers, hooking up with guys with lengthy criminal records. I also plan on developing an addiction to glue and investing lots of my money in pyramid schemes.”

Alright, so I’m running a little late on quizzo write ups this week. Sorry, but the world famous year in review takes a lot of time and dedication. I’m heading out of town tommorrow, so I probably won’t be able to get stories up until Monday. Yeah, I know it’s a bummer, but you’ll be ok. A few other notes: First, there will be a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT next week, so be sure to check back then. Also, I will be hosting a Sports only quizzo on January 9th at Barristers Bar and Grille, (1823 Sansom Street) which should be a blast. I’m returning to my roots, at least for this one time (when I started doing quizzo in 2002 I was doing all sports questions). First prize is a $50 gift certificate. Be sure to vote in the updated poll (lamest celebrity of 2005). In the meantime, I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year, and I look forward to seeing you next year!!!
Happy Birthday Mom!!!
Today is the birthday of the most wonderful woman in the world-my mom (far right, with Team Hater)! Happy birthday mom! You rock!
Hmmmm
So I’m watching It’s a Wonderful Life the other night, and I notice that Mr. Potter looks eerily like one of my favorite government figures. But I’m sure it’s just a coicidence. I mean, there’s no way DICK CHENEY COULD BE MR. POTTER’S LOVE CHILD OH MY GOD NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!!
Question of the Week
Our 28th state was admitted to the Union on December 29th, 2005. What state was it? Oops, I meant, December 29th, 1845.
