Sometimes a quizmaster has to take back control. Sometimes a mutinous group of quizzers can only be tamed with Billy Bragg, Aerosmith from the 90s, and college fight songs from schools that aren’t the Ducks or the Beavers. This is just one of many tricks in the arsenal of crowd control. Well, there aren’t that [...]

You know what I like about the image above? That thermometer is for wimps. 99 degrees? That’s for babies. We’re rockin’ 108, baby! And the Belmont was rocking it HARD last night. Good to see the oppressive heat didn’t weigh any Pub Quiz contestants down. The place was LOUD, HOT, and FEISTY — just the [...]

Welcome to sunny Portland, Ariz., where the current temperature is ‘molten.’ But that didn’t stop the lovely Pub Quiz patrons from frequenting the Space Room on Wednesday night. In fact, I’d argue that the Space Room is the best place to be when the sun burns away all the oxygen in our planet — because [...]

O yea, the magical coolant Freon struck another blow in our epic struggle last night as literally one hour before I arrive to to the quiz out at Bogey’s… the A/c goes out. Seriously. So it was another night of ‘Pub Quiz in a Sauna’ but I have to give props again to all the [...]

Spike of the Army of Skanks, along with his teammate, are off to Seattle to live and work and visit the space needle, alot. I guess. It was a fitting end though, as a 2-way tie for 3rd led to the Army of Skanks making the final challenge round, and knowing the final answer plus [...]

I love sunshine. I really do. But 100 degrees in the shade is.. tooo muuuuch! Thankfully Hood River has a nice breeze all the time, and it started cooling down, uh, by the time the quiz was over. Heh. Last night was a fitting tribute to the team that has won 7 times in a [...]

This was the scene last night when I arrived at the Bridgeport. A giant screen set up out back to watch independent films! Of course it was a little hot last night, so we weren’t off to the greatest start-but let me remind you- It IS SHADY and breezy back there, so next week should [...]

Seriously, F’in HOT!!! I don’t know why freon hates me… maybe it was that fridge I blew up with a pipe bomb back in the day… or the window a/c I didn’t secure well enough on the 15th floor in that apartment building…(Yeah, I got lucky there) but for whatever reason, the magic coolant gods [...]

As Seattle’s best, brightest, most amazing people found the shelter from the hottest day ever recorded in the history of the surface of the sun Seattle, the heat brought out some smack talk at Big Time Brewing Co.’s Wednesday night quiz. We heated thing ups with a great Bingo round that saw 3 teams tied [...]

If you know what movie that quote comes from come in next week to Grand Central and let me know and you’ll get 5 bonus points!! We had a great crowd last night at the Ol’ Grand… we had four teams vying for a winner take all pot as we all enjoyed the chilly. chilly [...]
