The gentle souls at the Horse and Hound made my first solo pub gig into a great time. The writers seem to have been trying to make them suffer for their hospitality, but judging from the buzz in the room it takes more than a page of obscure album covers to knock out the pub [...]

Rockin’ the Thirsty Lion!!! 6/18/08
Allright… some weeks our writers get a bee in their bonnet and decide they’re going to flex their trivia muscle and challenge our good Pub Quiz Goer’s and see where they really stand…. Yep…. it definitely seems to be that kind of week… I thought the Beatle’s handout last night was tough… well the ‘Artifacts’ [...]
Been a long time since I rock-n-rolled…
Woohoo!! Tuesday night at Portsmouth is always fun!! So my first night flying solo went pretty well. I managed to get the sound system going with no hang-ups (thanks Toni for the sound check!) We had a decent amount of players and we got off to a rockin’ start. We had fun with Bingo and [...]
It was those Goddamn Beatles… Biddy’s 6/17/08
Well the folks at Biddy’s sure made me feel welcome last night… and they were so gentle too!! Hopefully, they still respect me this morning! They told me they’d give me a call sometime… I guess I’ll just have to wait and see… Overall it was a great night… the pot was up to $165 [...]
Pride, In the Name of CC Slaughters…
To be honest, I was expecting a small crowd. I figured my gay friends might be tuckered out from the big festivities of Pride weekend. But, hey I was pleasantly surprised to get a nice crowd of regulars and some newer and visiting teams. Despite the grumblings that “I wasn’t going to come because I [...]
Daddy-O!
Vitamin D infiltrated folks’ blood on this beautiful sunny day, and the Belmont Inn Pub Quiz crowd was buzzing, animated and loud as everyone rejoiced for the sweet, blessed rays of the sun. I had the PA turned up almost to feedback levels, and still people in the corners had trouble hearing me. But that [...]

I would like to first off thank everyone for being patient throughout the night last night…. I mean 75 people and 20 teams!!! Holy Shit!! It was great!! I tried to keep up with the grading and such… and even though we went a little late, I think a great time was had by all!! [...]
Goodbye Biddy’s
You were a ton of fun. Whether you’d been coming to Pub Quiz for a couple years or a couple weeks, you always invited me to laugh and enjoy the quiz along with you. Last night was no exception. Thanks for coming out and being so friendly to me and everybody at the bar. Winners [...]
Portsmouth 6/10/08
This Tuesday night at Portsmouth Pizza and Pub was not the typical sleepy Tuesday. We started off with some of the usual suspects and then we welcomed some players from the Bridgeport Pub venue. We got off to a good start with a total of 31 players; raising the pot to a coveted $93! It [...]
