We normally don't talk about quiz turnout unless it's ridiculous and awesome, but I think last night marked a unique point in quiz experience. Whenever that damn hot rod rally happens, people tend to avoid coming south because a bunch of rockabilly posers are trying to revive an era of misogyny and penis analogs in order to feel... something. I don't necessarily get it. I'm all for the pin up look and a little bit of fun nostalgia, but I for one have no desire to rekindle the 50s. Sure, sex was probably a lot more fun to have, but me and my people (he said, as if he were the gay messiah) didn't exactly have a blast while everyone else was sock hopping and be-bopping and whatever the hell else. We were crammed into smokey, back-alley bars drinking martinis while wearing cravats. I might channel Paul Lynde sometimes, but that doesn't mean I wish to live my life as him.
Or maybe I'm just a bitter bitch.
But really, it's interesting to me that there are these big events like this in Austin - hot rod rally, ROT rally SXSW, ACL, and so on - where specific demographics decend on Austin with the mind set of "taking it over" for the weekend. Go fuck yourself, doucheflap. Celebrate whatever you need to celebrate, but stop acting like Napoleon at a toy chest.
So I'll just say that we had a cozy quiz last night, and leave it at that. It was still hilarious, you guys were a great crowd, and I had a really nice night. The quiz itself was fun, but you guys had one hell of a time getting a grip on it. Though to be fair, you guys often have trouble getting a grip on most things. Like my penis. HEYO.
Clumsiest setup ever.
Anyway, thanks for coming out. Remember we've got the Mafia quiz next week, and some special event thing after that which you should all absolutely come to because it's going to be awesome. Hope to see you guys out there!

If there's one thing I like to do at quiz, it's gartuitously flirst with people I can't really see from the stage. I'm an equal-opportunity flirt like that. And since there was a guy named Brandon advertising his penis in his team name and also celebrating his 21st birthday, I felt like I could offer the gift of unwanted sexual attention. And Kelly was happy to offer some, too! We're so sweet like that.
It was a fun night all around. We got Hot and Col and had a Killer Audio Round, both of which proved equally amusing. You all tend to moan and groan about sports rounds, thought the round on basketball movies seemed to go over pretty well. I get the feeling you would have preferred an actual round on the film The Empire Strikes Back, but we never make anything that easy.
Also, did anyone catch the new Doctor Who? I'm watching it as I write this. I like the production quality for this half of the season, and I think Clara is starting to grow on me. I didn't really like her in Asylum of the Daleks, I could get on board with The Snowmen, and now that there's some odd retrograde thing going on, I think I can handle her. And I don't care what anyone says, I'm excited for more River Song. And not just because I do a mean River Song drag.
Regular quiz next week, then the Mafia quiz, then the quiz with drag queens. You won't want to miss any of it, so remember to follow us on Facebook!

What a greatnight back! We were off for a week for SXSW but that certainly didn't keep anyone away. A whopping 30 teams came out to chill and quiz and be merry. Awesome. The Gay Austin Geeks made it out again, but this time they let us know they were playing with too many. That didn't keep another team from doing the same thing and not letting us know until the end of the night. But whatever. I'll beat it into you kids some day.
There were also four 16 point rounds last night, which was nuts. And yet we still had people joker Round 7. With shitty scores. And that's just ridiculous.
Meanwhile, I had a photo shoot today. In DRAG. And it was fabulous. QM Samantha snapped pics of me and QM Evelyn for our various and sundry needs. Do you need pictures taken? I think you should ask Sam. She's the tits.
Also I bought a new wig and it's gorgeous.
What's all this for? Time will tell. I'm just saying, don't make plans for April 20th.
Love ya bunches, kids. See y'all next week!
