AC/DC is from the devil

What with the horns and all on Angus, AAAND my determined resolve to screw up any AC/DC question. It must be Satan. Yep. Thanks to Conrad AGAIN for setting me straight about a question that I wrote regarding said Australians/Scots and their contribution to Stephen Kings' "Maximum Overdrive" (not to be confused with Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but thats a story for another day). You'd think being a metalhead in the 80's would solve that, nope.

Here's the winners:

Round 1: Technical- The Piano's Staff, Actual- Glasses Are Cool ( With a "C", I looked)
Round 2: Glasses Are Cool
Round #: The Bunnyslappers

Don't forget tonight, at Midway, Sousalves record release co-starring The Sprinkle Genies at 8:15, my buddy Kris Roebling at 9 and the man himself, Sousalves at 10. Do not miss.

Quote of the night-

Peter: "You know, I'm sober now?"
Me: "Really??"
Peter: "Phfft, no..."

All byyy myyyselllf!!

Great night last night! It was nice to get back to basics one man, one test. Last nights quiz was based in the 90's, which is recent enough to make it a bit more challenging. Which makes those free drinks taste all the better.

Last night winners were:

1st round: Glasses Are Cool

2nd round: The Cherry Flavored Schmoo's

3rd (new comers): Emma Grants

I had trouble with the orgin of the Cardigans (Swiss vs Swedish) in one question. Look, their all blonde and pretty, ok. 'Nuff said. Also, yes, Ms. Shirley Manson sang for ANGELFISH, not Starfish or Jellyfish or Grungefish or whatever I put down. (Thanks for the correction Schmoo's!)

Thanks to all that came out, see ya'll next week!!

Girls, Girls, GIRLS!!

Fellas, the ladies danced on your corpse last night at Smart-Ass.

We did one round about the food and rock band connection, Dj Shred Savage did a round having to do with movies and wrapped with a great 3rd round if I do say so myself, and I did.

Winner:

1st round: TIE- Pianos Staff & The Cherry Flavored Schmoos
2nd round: The Cherry Flavored Schmoo's
3rd round: One Girl Town (Who by the way, was a single player whose friends invited her and never showed and she went onto win anyway, nice job!)

Tonight at Piano's one of the Schmoo's is throwing a little party with free tequila from Jose Cuervo and three awesome bands. You can go free, just go to http://rollingstone.com/pianos and RSVP.

The triple rock threat!!

Thanks to all that came out last night to witness the awesomeness that was Smart-Ass! Conrad from the band Takka Takka (whom I noticed has a striking resemblance to Gil Gerard from Buck Rodgers,...well, sorta) started things off with a guest round. Great job, C! Afterwards we introduced my new partner in crime; Dj Shred Savage (aka, the lovely Liv) who also did an awesome guest round. She's a breath of fresh rock kids, and she'll be showin' up with fresh questions and she won't be just turning letter blocks like that useless Vanna White. Bitch.... Jking, we love Vanna.

BTW, in case you are mildly curious, sometimes we have a "technical" win, which means that the winners actually got the most points but were not awarded drinks because of an affiation with Piano's ie: the staff (yes, they compete), or me if I'm competing, as I was last night, and drinks are awarded to the 2nd place winners or drink winners becaue we're REALLY fair, FYI. Here's the winners from last night!


1st round: (Technical win) Glasses Are Cool (Brian Devendorf of The National, Beth Devendorf and Dj Spookypants), drink winners: Cherry Flavored Schmoo's (Gina, Beth and Dan)
2nd round: Cherry Flavored Schmoo's
3rd round: Glasses Are Cool (Brian and Beth with Conrad,...who IS rad.)

Props to Glasses and the Schmoo's as there were about 7 teams in the running.

I'm really going to try to get a MySpace page up today, it's kinda hard because I just moved and I can't figure out these damn Ikea directions (fucking Swede's!), but I will do my best.

Seee ya'll next week!!
