Dear Friends of the Pub Quiz,
I am so pleased to remind you that tonight marks the RELAUNCH of the Pub Quiz! This evening at de Vere’s Irish Pub, starting right at 7pm, I will be ringing the bell (a new bell – wait until you hear it) for a new iteration of the Pub Quiz! As you probably know by now, the de Vere White family has invested significant money and artisanship in the transformation of 217 E Street into the sort of pub that I used to visit when I lived in London in the 1980s. We’ll face some challenges tonight – a new cordless mic, occasionally obstructed sightlines to the Quizmaster, a new staff of eager servers and bouncers that are not used to the varied intellectual energy that comes with a Pub Quiz – but I really think you will like this new location, and the folks who work there. Finally we’ll be running the Pub Quiz in a PUB! I am beyond excited.
De Vere’s Irish Pub has a no reservations policy, so you should send at least one teammate early to grab a favorite table. From my point of view as a Quizmaster, this is what democracy looks like. I look forward to the buildup of energy and anticipation during the 6 o’clock hour, and to enjoying a 20-ounce pint of my favorite beverage. Of course, I may have to ask one of you to move over when I sit down to my complimentary dinner, as the tables may go fast, and some of them are 3 and 4-tops instead of 6-tops. I hope you will come tonight see how that works out.
Tonight’s Quiz will feature many of the questions that I have written during my October-long hiatus. We lost Steve Jobs and race-car driver Dan Wheldon in October, and gained a bunch of new Nobel Laureates, and I didn’t have a chance to memorialize them with Pub Quiz questions! Tonight you’ll hear questions on video games, Apple, Inc., recent and ancient Republicans, founding fathers, football, drums, animated movies, California cities, model anagrams, holidays, large groups of people, the Constitution of the United States, banned chemicals, big cities, Ireland, ancient inventions, foundational documents for radicals, local events (you know what I mean), basketball teams, American islands, and Shakespeare (or, I should add, the writer commonly known as Shakespeare).
Please grab a friend, lock arms with your friend, and march determinedly to 217 E Street for the very first de Vere’s Irish Pub Pub Quiz! See you tonight!
