Ooh la la what a wild, wonderful night of wild, wonderful, weird women at the Belmont Inn. I mean the quiz itself of course. The female pub quizzers were relatively tame. I was hoping someone would come in a Wonder Woman costume or maybe a Susan B. Anthony getup (I left mine at home so [...]

How have I gone decades being an enormous Seinfeld fan and not known Jerry Seinfeld’s real name is Jerome? It’ll be a mystery that haunts us all to our graves, but until then thank you to Proud We Are of all of Them for enlightening me to this little known or perhaps commonly known fact. [...]

Man what a good title I came up with for this blog post. You see how it rhymes AND brilliantly ties in the week’s theme all in one fell swoop!? You see!?
Oh wait, I just remembered that was actually Beige Food’s team name tonight. So I’m not really clever or witty at all. Still I [...]

Hey I liked everyone’s music-themed shirts! Especially the Air Supply one, the Uncle Tupelo one, and Boomshanka Ryan’s enormous tye-dyed Page ‘n’ Plant shirt. For some reason he took it off promptly after showing it to me and I was very sad.
A rather groggy one tonight for me and Executive Assistant Renee, who were both [...]

Vitamin D infiltrated folks’ blood on this beautiful sunny day, and the Belmont Inn Pub Quiz crowd was buzzing, animated and loud as everyone rejoiced for the sweet, blessed rays of the sun. I had the PA turned up almost to feedback levels, and still people in the corners had trouble hearing me. But that [...]

Woo hoo, a rather quiet, intense one at the ol’ Belmont Inn last night.
Quiz writer Dave’s quiz was tough, and the top 10 teams or so were separated by only a few points up until the very end. In round 2, the “Name that Brand” round, it was fun listening to the different advertising jingles [...]

Whoa, where’d everyone go this week? Or is it that people actually don’t love our fair town as much as I would have thought? Yeah, I know, we’re not New York or Mexico City or whatever, but come on, Portland’s pretty cool, am I right? Can I get a huzzah? For Portland and Portland-themed quizzes? [...]

Jeezum crow what was going on last night at the Belmont Inn? Was our wonderful (formerly) little pub quiz written up in some popular publication or website? Did the news of my smooth, sexy magic on the mic finally find its way to Hollywood?
Alas nobody can explain the mysterious ebb and flow of Pub Quiz [...]

I have to admit… it was my first time at Belmont and I was a little nervous. The crowd welcomed me with open pitchforks and torches and some kind of pyre burning in the back… LOL! Just kidding… The Belmont is great!! It was a beautiful day and we still had a great turnout [...]

Why, what a sweet little gentle Mother’s Day-themed crowd came out to the ol’ Belmont tonight! Just like me old mum herself!
The only hitch on this lovely night came from a orange-shirted booer playing with a team directly to the right of us. That’s right I’m talking to you, team with the orange-shirted booer [...]
