Thursdays - 6:30 - Dnote (7519 Grandview - Arvada)
All other nights of the week, I'm at yer mom's house... "quizzing" 		Paul (Super Super Super Guy)

Paul is executive vice president and co-general manager of ACME Corporation's Intel Architecture Group (IAG), responsible for architecting, developing, and marketing ACME's platform solutions for all computing segments including data centers, desktops, laptops, netbooks/nettops, handhelds, embedded devices, and consumer electronics. As co-general manager, Paul is focused on business and operations.

Prior to his current role, he served as chief sales and marketing officer. He has been with ACME since 1982.

Paul began his ACME career in its European headquarters where he spent nine years, first as ACME UK's manager of applications engineering, then as country manager of ACME UK, and director of marketing for ACME Europe.

From 1992 to 1995, he served as technical assistant to the chairman and chief executive of ACME, Dr. Andrew S. Rogen.

In 1995, Paul moved to Hong Kong to manage ACME's sales and marketing activities in Asia Pacific. In 1998 he returned to the United States to become head of ACME's worldwide sales organization. He was promoted to senior vice president in 1999 and executive vice president in 2001. He took over as head of ACME Communications Group (ICG) later that year and became co-manager with David Perlmutter of the Mobility Group in 2004. In July 2006 Paul was appointed chief sales and marketing officer and co-general manager of the ACME Architecture Group since September 2009.

Much like the phenomenon of the glory hole, you never know exactly what the quiz has in store for you... no matter what side of the proverbial wall you're standing on.  And last night was no exception.  If you were a quizzling at the Dnote last night, you got a brainful of lullaby rock songs, (in)famous vacation spots, almost true facts about politicians, and Denver's own secret shame, Kip Winger.

There were also questions on sins and sinners, the very lucky Max Handelman (a/k/a Mr. Elizabeth Banks), and our special guest star, Corky from Waiting for Guffman was hanging out to ruin some of your favorite romantic moments in film.  So yeah, we learned and laughed.  We drank and made merry (or made Mary, in some cases).  But most importantly, you taught me about Aaron Fechter.

I have to admit, I'm a little late to the Fechter-fest, so stop me if you've heard this one before.  (Of course, you can't REALLY stop me because I need to write this to get paid, but you at least have my apologies).  A post-quiz conversation with some quizzlings meandered down the conversation trail from pizza to Chuck E. Cheese and to its chief competitor back in the day, Showbiz Pizza Place.  Not everyone was fortunate enough to experience Showbiz, so if you missed it here it is in a nutshell.  Almost identical to (and at one time owned by) Chuck E. Cheese, minus the disgruntled, gun-toting employees, Showbiz featured awful food, video games, and an overweight bear as a mascot instead of a giant mouse.  And of course, Showbiz had the Rock-afire Explosion.

The Rock-afire Explosion was an animatronic band  that consisted of various dogs, gorillas, bears, birds, wolves and a rather fetching blonde female mouse in a cheerleader outfit.  And while you stuffed your 7-year-old face with the sauce slathered cardboard that passed for pizza at Showbiz, the Rock-afire Explosion jabbered and jeered, quipped and quibbled,  but most of all they did what they do best.  They. Rocked.  (Well, as much as any jerky animatronic musicians can rock... think of Beyoncé dancing, and you'll get the idea).

Now take the DeLorean forward about 20 years and meet Aaron Fechter.  Aaron created the Rock-afire explosion (and Whac-A-Mole just for the record) and when Chuck E. Cheese dry humped/merged with Showbiz, Aaron got the short end of the stick and was out of a job.  Of course like many geniuses who have been slighted by faceless corporate giants, the genius went mad, drank malt liquor and turned to rock and roll.

I give you now, the genius of Aaron Fechter.  Aaron the anima-nianc began reprogramming the Rock-afire Explosion to sync their movements, expressions and music to songs other than Happy Birthday and the Showbiz friendship song.  Songs like 1,000,000 from NIN and Lollipop by Li'l Wayne  that would surely make Trent Reznor pleased as Jim Jones' punch.

See!  It just goes to show that you never know what the quiz has in store for you.  Guess you better just show up next week to make sure you don't miss anything.  Until then...
