We Must Break Europe!
First of all, gang, come on down to Ella Street Social Club tonight (and every Monday) at 6:00 for Triviology with Kyle and booze with GREAT happy hour prices! Next, on to future events . . .
The big news this week is the same as last week – my two special events to be held this Saturday, June 6th. They don’t come any bigger than World Quizzing Championship, though – I will host the Portland quiz, which will be held at The Spare Room at noon. Why so early? Because you’ll be answering the same questions as players on six different continents, because they will have long since finished their quizzes and will be eagerly awaiting our results, and because I’m not willing to host it any earlier than noon! If you’ve ever wondered who your team MVP is, here’s your chance to go head to head with your crew and see who comes out on top (maximum team size is one!). The quiz will be divided into two halves – an hour each with a break in between, including eight different categories: Culture, Lifestyles, Media, World, Entertainment, History, Sciences, and Sport. Your final score will be tallied by combining the scores of your seven best topics – in other words, if you totally blow the sports round, fear not – it’ll be eliminated anyway! Maybe (?!) I’m a nerd, but I think it’ll be fun to see how Portland scores against Latvia, Sri Lanka, Serbia, Liberia, Argentina, Australia, etc. I do regret that Russia is not participating, though – so that we could rekindle a little cold war rivalry and send them threatening messages Rocky IV style!
Later that Saturday evening, join Trivia Jock Scott for I Don’t Feel Tardy 2, my second annual music trivia quiz! Put together a well-rounded team of five (or fewer) to answer questions about ALL kinds of music, including a video clip round, and a couple of audio clip rounds. The arena is Peter’s 19th Hole, the time is 7:00, and the prize is money off your bar tab!

[…] compete in the 2009 World Quiz Championship! Apparently, Russia heard that I challenged them in last week’s newsletter, because they have decided to throw their hat in the ring, too! Way to invoke some cold war […]
