A Quiz About Nothing: Seinfeld Trivia!

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
I just spent about a week in 1990s-era New York City with four friends who you may know – Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer. I sampled delicious soup, saw a New Jersey Devils game, pitched a sitcom to NBC . . . and prepared questions for a Quiz About Nothing! This Saturday (April 3rd), meet me at 7:00 at Peter’s 19th Hole for a Seinfeld trivia night. Champion team wins gift certificates to the bar and a Master of Your Domain trophy!
As there is apparently some sort of noteworthy religious holiday this Sunday, East Burn will be closed for the day, so . . . no quiz for you (on Easter Sunday)!

Upcoming special events:

The BarFies Approach

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Awards season ain’t over yet, folks – Barflymag.com, Portland’s original bar guide, is preparing for the annual BarFly Awards! You can make all kinds of nominations right here, in many different categories, from Best Town Drunk to Best Band for a One-Night-Stand, to . . . OH, looky here: Most Terrific-est Trivia Jockey! What an exciting new category! You can submit nominations through this Friday night, and the official candidates will be announced next week. Should I earn a nomination for the Quizzery party, I will continue to represent all the Triviologists of the land in a most awesome fashion, and not let that shit go to my head.
This April is the 2nd anniversary of my lunar quiz series, and I think it’s high time to put the wheels in motion for the much anticipated quiz about nothing . . . Seinfeld Triviology! The champion team will win the Master of Your Domain trophy, and gift certificates to the bar, which is Peter’s 19th Hole. I have scheduled this event for Saturday, April 3rd (at 7:00), so that it won’t conflict with any fantasy baseball camp schedules. Let me tell ya . . . this quiz is going to be gold, people – GOLD!
