 Who_Drink_Pub_Quiz_The_Only_Pub_Quiz_That_Matters\nEvent Date Begin: 2011-
 05-23\nEvent Date End: 2011-09-05\n\nWho are you?\n\nGeeks Who Drink is a 
 Denver-based company that hosts pub quizzes at over 100 pubs and restauran
 ts in 13 states. Our quiz is a collective effort of dozens of quizmasters\
 , writers\, fact-checkers\, graphic designers and artists.\n\nWhat's a pub
  quiz?\n\nSimply\, a quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradit
 ion\, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly competition\, and promo
 te social drinking. A noble cause!\n\nThe quiz consists of eight rounds of
  eight questions each\, played by teams of up to six people. Questions are
  read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers\, turning t
 hem in at the end of each round.\n\nRounds 1\,  4 and 6 are themed rounds 
 &ndash\; anything from &ldquo\;Eight Questions About Sex That Won't Make Y
 ou Too Uncomfortable&rdquo\; to &ldquo\;TV Shows Your Parents Watch.&rdquo
 \; Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title
  for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. 
 Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 
 7 usually covers movies or TV shows\, and is worth the standard eight poin
 ts. Finally\, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.\n\nOne roun
 d can be jokered\, doubling your points for that round only (yes\, the 16-
 point rounds are fair game). The team with the most points after eight rou
 nds is the winner.\n\nIsn't that just &ldquo\;trivia night&rdquo\;?\n\nNo\
 , and no. Most so-called &ldquo\;trivia nights&rdquo\; consist of either a
 n MP3J reading Trivial Pursuit cards in between MP3s\, or a bunch of peopl
 e staring at TVs with buzzers in hand. Our quiz burns through nearly 70 mu
 ltimedia questions in two exciting hours. The quizmaster gets to know the 
 players\, and smack talk flying around in all directions is pretty much pa
 r for the course.\n\nFinally\, our questions are written in-house and fact
 -checked by GWD staff\, and definitely NOT your grandma's trivia. In order
  to get by our editor\, questions must be interesting\, challenging and en
 tertaining.\n\nCan I play more than one night a week\, or is it the same q
 uiz over and over again?\n\nYes\, you can play every night. Each quiz is o
 riginal so please\, go nuts! We don't repeat questions for at least two ye
 ars and even then\, the odds of encountering a repeat are as likely as see
 ing Paris Hilton on Charlie Rose &ndash\; the show or the person.\n\nStart
  time: 8pm
