Prizes and Calendar: Faster monkeys! Scamper! Scamper!

Another comment about Monday: Thanks again to our sponsors, 92YTribeca, the beautiful venue that's been generous with the movie passes. This week, we gave away two seats to this Saturday's screening of the trashily delightful Russ Meyer classic, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! I'm ashamed to admit I've never seen this beacon of American cinematic enlightenment—this Saturday is the day, mayhaps. Who's in?

Meanwhile, speaking of 92YTribeca, I will certainly be there this Friday for Kevin Geeks Out About…Monkeys!, this month's edition of Kevin Maher's nerdily good variety show. Prepare for movie clips, academic lectures, music—and, of course, trivia—about simians of all stripes, not just monkeys. (And to answer a question from Monday night: Yes, monkeys, not Monkees.) Be warned, as I do in these variety-show appearances, the quiz is played by three lucky audience members, though it's a delight for everyone in the room guaranteed.

As always, do you have (a) a business that would like the sponsor the Big Quiz Thing or (b) a variety show that would like to feature a trivia challenge from Quizmaster Noah? E-mail info@bigquizthing.com and savor your good judgment.

UPDATE: Kevin Geeks Out is sold out! All thanks to me, right?
