Quiz Schedule
Thursdays 8PM @ Bumsted's at 500 N. 4th Ave.,Tucson, AZ, (NE corner of 6th St. & 4th Ave.) 		Julio (Jean-Luc)

If there is one thing you must know about Jean-Luc (or "Julio" for those of you feeling saucy) it is that he loves scotch sours. Doesn't matter what kind of scotch goes into the sour, be it well scotch, Glenlivet, or Laphroaig. Because when he drinks it neat, he only drinks Talisker 18 year. Why is he telling you this? So you can buy him a scotch sour. He has no shame. But know this. Your buying him a scotch won't get you any free points for the night. But it will help him remember your name the following morning.

Originally a native from Los Angeles (Go Dodgers!), Jean-Luc has been living in Tucson close to four years. Love, not a desire to drive down property values, brought him here. And when he's not complaining about the heat, he's complaining about the cold. But he doesn't complain often, except when Ned Colletti makes a horrible trade or a questionable signing. Yes, he enjoys baseball. But he loathes the San Francisco Giants. More than he does gin and tonics.

This is the part of the bio where he lists favorites - favorite films, favorite musical artists, favorite books. After you gloss over the list, somehow you are supposed to know more about him than you did before. Though he doubts that. If you really want to get to know your quizmaster, just approach him. Talk to him. He's the one behind the microphone, mispronouncing words and making awful jokes that fall flat. He doesn't bite. Unless you want him to.

As promised, his favorites (which constantly change)!

Part of growing up involves daring friends to enter a bathroom, lock the door, turn off the lights, and say "Bloody Mary" three times while facing the mirror hoping that a bloody Mary does not show herself and possibly kill you. Of course, nothing happens. Maybe someone flushes the toilet or farts to break up the tension. But it is way different as an adult. Saying "Bloody Mary" three times yields three alcoholic drinks, all of which you down in succession. Delicious at the time, certainly. Then you wake up with a blistering headache. You head to the bathroom, splash cold water on your neck and face, then look into the mirror and say "Damn you, bloody marys" three times.

Before the Bloody Marys came into play, last night's quiz was more intimate than what we're accustomed to at The Hut. All of us were cozy on the patio as I used the power of my lungs and vocal chords to bring you a great quiz sans audio equipment. Laughs were had. We learned some of you are horrible at geography and that Nelson is interchangable with the Thompson Twins. In the end, half of you went home with a prize, the other half went home with a hunger to return next week and claim those two prizes. So come out to The Hut again next Sunday at 7PM for more Geeks Who Drink pub quiz.

DON'T FORGET! The all-Simpsons $5 pay-to-play quiz is on October 21st at the Hut and hosted by Caribbean Joe. Spread the word, since the cash prize increases with more folks there to play!
