Fine things afoot this week!

Three days… three chances to play!

Monday, February 25, it’s COUNTY QUIZ at County Cork (NE 14th and Fremont). Tonight we’re quizzing on Oscar winners, classic literature, and more.

Tuesday, February 26, come to Saraveza’s Bad Habit Room (N Michigan and Killingsworth) for QUIZAVEZA. We’re escaping (at least for twelve minutes or so) to a warm tropical wonderland for a Spring Break-themed Multimedia Round. Plus: music inspired by beer, and much more!

Wednesday, February 27, we’re getting LOST AND FOUND at QUIZAVEZA at Mississippi Pizza (3552 N Mississippi). Losers, finders keepers, and of course that essential tool for finding yourself once you’re lost: Maps!

All quizzes start at 7pm. Get there early to register (sign-ups start at 6:30). $2/person to play; 7 people max per team.

Whether you’re into classic Star Trek or current Doctor Who, vintage pinball or anime music videos, you just might find someone who shares your passion. Or, you know, someone of a similarly geeky turn of mind who’s kinda cute and would be nice to snuggle on those long Portland winter nights.

$15 pre-registration price (or $20 at the door) gets you SO MANY THINGS!

  • Live performance by the PDX Broadsides
  • Two (2) tickets for pizza slices, draft beers, or well drinks>
  • A fun, fast-paced, low-pressure chance to meet other geeky singles, hosted and faciliated by Quizzical Empress Molly Newman
  • Delicious custom-created cocktails by Atlantis Lounge mixologist Mark Filipas

Reserve your spot today by emailing your name, age, and phone number to Molly Newman by noon on Saturday, January 26 (or just take your chances at the door for an extra $5).

Tell your friends! Tell that cutie at the comic shop! See you there.
