That’s my new title this week, thanks to all of YOU fine people of Pub Quiz! The only words to follow this great title are “And the award goes to:” Llet’s hope on Sunday night I’ll be hearing “Polly with Pub Quiz USA”. Thanks to all of YOU I have been nominated for a Barfly magazine BarFy award this year! It’s a great honor to be given the nod with 3 other fine “Trivia Jockeys” here in Portland. I’ll be amending my sash (which has rock n roll fingers, I might add) to read “Quizmaster” and I’ll be there Sunday night LIVE at the Barfly awards at Mt. Tabor theater to represent Pub Quiz and try and take home the victory! So, here’s how it works:
Sunday night, I’ll show up with my “entourage” (bwhaha) and mingle amongst Portland’s finest in the industry-LIVE VOTING takes place from 10-12, where we shall be ballot box stuffing and voting for all our favorites! Take a look at the Nominees HERE and see who I’m up against. Most of my tickets will be going to the other great QM’s that I have a pleasure of knowing and working with in this fine job, however, I do have a select few tickets left to give out to some of my biggest supporters in Pub Quiz land. If you are interested in attending, please, let me know at Quizzing this week, and I’ll try and get you some tickets. I can’t promise room for everyone, since I only have a few left..so let me know quick!
The important part of all of this: All the voting is done live, in person at the Barfly awards show. If you know someone in the bar industry besides me, or if you work out there at ANY of our pub quiz venues, please, spread the word about your favorite QM and how they can help me win! Take another look at that list, and see if any of those servers, bars, or strippers ring a bell (I’m just saying) if they DO, then send them an email, talk to them, or stuff their pants with dollar bills all the while chatting about what a great Quizmaster I am. That’s how we win this thing. Now, if i win the golden BarFie, I promise to bring it to all my venues so you all can be stunned and awed in it’s amazing glory. I will also give you the chance to be photographed in it’s presence. No flash photography, please. ( I’m good like that)
In the meantime spread the word about town: Polly for Portland’s best TRIVIA JOCKEY *ahem* Quizmaster!
You all rock for getting me this nomination, I can’t tell you how happy and stunned I am to be included with the folks on this list. Come this Sunday night, I’ll be representing with the hipsters in town, let’s show them how we, the nerds do it. I’m so proud to be representing all my venues: CC Slaugther’s, The Bitter End, and Sellwood Public House! As well as ALL the Quizmasters and Pub Quiz USA. Not to mention some of the fine folks I have worked with over the years out there in the industry. I have not forgotten you, nay, I have not!
And, don’t forget, when you see me it’s: “Quizmaster Polly 2010 Barfly nominee for “Best Trivia Jockey” THAT is my new title. Please include it whenever asking questions, in all documentation, and when you address me directly this week. :) If you want to know more, or play along online with me for some FUN and pictures that don’t always make it in the blog, find me on FB here: Polly Pospisil or on Twitter I’m QMPolly.
