This is a homegrown Pub Quiz modeled after those in Ireland and the UK. What is a Pub Quiz? Good question, find out <a href="http://geekswhodrink.com/blog/index.php?title=about_geeks_who_drink&more=1"> here</a>. Or read about us in <a href="http://www.westword.com/2007-08-23/news/revenge-of-the-nerds/">Westword</a> or <a href="http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/other_spotlight/article/0,2777,DRMN_23960_4777189,00.html">The Rocky Mountain News</a>. Read customer reviews on <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/UkBuC_9Bk45-tEWE4hn30A">Yelp.com</a>. We’re the only pub quiz in Austin with two audio rounds: "Name that Tune,” and one comprised of soundbites from movies and TV. Play in teams of up to six or by yourself if you're some kind of savant. If you want to play but don’t have a team, come anyway. We can usually get single players recruited onto an existing team. Others have had success wrangling teammates on the Strictly Platonic section of Craigslist. Winning team gets street cred, bar cash and other prizes depending on the venue. Bonus Questions for free pints are sprinkled throughout the quiz. You don’t have to be a trivia God to enjoy the quiz. Since you’re playing on a team, the collective knowledge base makes for more fun, less pressure. It’s not Final friggin Jeopardy.

73903 Austin Poetry Slam Double Quarter Finals It's two quarterfinal slams in one night!  See the top ten poets from the first half of the season mix it up.  Two poets will move on to SLAMOFF 09.  Hosted by Mike Henry $3 The Austin Poetry Slam is a weekly event that showcases 12 amazing and original spoken-word artists in a no-holes barred, raucous, energized competition. That's right: we assign scores to art!  For the complete story visit <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmF1c3RpbnNsYW0uY29t">AustinSlam.com</a>  There's pride on the line, ego on the line, and $100 in prize money EVERY WEEK to the top three poetrs of the night. But how do we judge poetry? Easy, we hand out scorecards to 5 judges randomly selected from the audience. The judges give each poet a score on a scale of 0.0 to 10.0. The scores are added up and the poets with the higher numbers advance until three poets are left in the final round. The poetry slam is all about the audience. So we encourage audience members to cheer for the poets/scores they like and boo the poets/scores they hate. The audience's job at the Austin Poetry Slam is to try like hell to influence the judges. This isn't your grandma's poetry reading. No snapping, no Frenchy berets, and certainly no polite golf claps. This is rock and roll, hip hop, dance, theater, comedy, and poetry wrapped into a tight, 3-minute package.  The Austin Poetry Slam is easily the best non-music show in town. And frankly, it's better than a bunch of the music too. I mean, what else are you gonna do on a Wednesday night? Watch The Gilmore Girls. Nope, you're going to grab a friend, head down to Red's Scoot Inn, find a comfy seat, order a drink, sit back and be shocked and awed by the words you hear. http://do512.com/event/weekly/wed/austin-poetry-slam http://do512.com/event/weekly/wed/austin-poetry-slam.xml Wednesday 12/17/08 20081218T020000Z/20081218T020000Z false 0 1.0 08:00 PM Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:00:00 -0600 Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:00:00 -0600 1 WED 12/17/2008 http://www.austinslasm.com http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/128655/465998009_l_sq_90.jpg The Scoot Inn & Bier Garten 845 The Scoot Inn & Bier Garten http://do512.com/venue/scoot-inn http://do512.com/venue/scoot-inn.xml

They will be joined by Dr. Molly Schwartzburg, Curator of British and American Literature, who will read selections featured in the Ransom Center’s current exhibition On the Road with the Beats, which runs through August 3.   The exhibition traces the travels of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and their friends across America and the globe. Manuscripts, books, photographs, and visual art from the Ransom Center’s collections tell the story of the Beat Generation and the literary and social revolution they inspired.

On tap for entertainment is a fashion show featuring Gruv models working the Slate runway in the latest en vogue men's and women's spring apparel. Guests will nibble on Hors d'oeuvres provided by Blue Star Cafeteria and sip complimentary cocktails from The Peacock. The cover charge to enter The Octopus Fashion Lounge is a donation in any denomination. Ten percent of all proceeds from the sales at both Soigne Boutique and Slate Men's Apparel will go towards The Octopus Club, a grassroots volunteer fundraising arm of the AIDS Services of Austin. "My life has not been personally affected by family members or friends who have AIDS, but I am aware of the stress and heartache this disease can cause those affected and how it affects their family members and friends," said Amy Schalk, owner of both Soigne and Slate. "AIDS is especially burdensome if you do not have the money nor other resources to help with medical experiences incurred. That is why I wanted to have this event to help raise funds for The Octopus Club."    The Octopus Club is unique in that they are made up of 100% volunteers, so every dollar raised at an Octopus Club event or party goes directly to the Paul Kirby Emergency Fund. Hosts and Corporate Sponsors are the financial backbone for each party and event. Over the last 18 years, the Octopus Club's annual events and parties have raised $1,003,374.63 for the Paul Kirby Fund. Guests of the Octopus Fashion Lounge are invited to relax in the lounge, enjoy the entertainment, and help raise funds for this great cause.  All of the funds raised go to ASA through their IRS 501(c) (3) set up and guests and sponsors can receive tax-deductible receipts from ASA.

Very much like the name suggests: a trivia quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly cerebral competition and promote social drinking (and eating) in a relaxed environment. How does it work? The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions and is played in teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster; teams write their answers on provided sheets and turn them in at the end of each round. The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner. Uh, isn’t this just “bar trivia?” Only in the same way your Grandma’s cooking is equivalent to The Sizzler’s buffet because, ya know, they’re both just “dinner.” The short answer is, of course, NO! A Geeks Who Drink quiz is written to scratch the universal itch of trivia (the delight that is banging your head on a table because you know you know the answer) but with more showmanship and originality. We’ll ask a round called “Hunting, Fishing and Drinking: The Three Dude Groups” followed by a round called “Wildly Inappropriate First Date Movies (think The Accused).” The questions are entertaining so even if your team is being served a deep dish of last place you’re still having a great time. Geeks Who Drink has a staff of over a dozen question writers and a team of research librarians who fact check every single quiz. Our mistakes are rare. Geeks Who Drink quizzes are also unique in that they include two rounds of audio questions - like name that tune, but with an edge. Examples: Songs We Lost Our Virginity To in The 1990s, Top 40 songs Butchered by David Hasslehoff, Disco Classics in German… Finally, Geeks Who Drink blogs every quiz. So the day after quiz night, players can find photos of the winning teams, the final scores and a small narrative of the evening’s festivities on our website: <a href="http://www.geekswhodrink.com">www.geekswhodrink.com</a>. Does it cost anything to play? Nope, it's free. Do you need to sign up beforehand? No, that's silly. What do you win? Free pints, bar cash and Internet glory!
