Sponsor spotlight: Housing Works' Geek Week

Thanks to loyal BQT fan Rachel Fershleiser, NYC's best bookstore (suck it, the Strand!), Housing Works Bookstore Cafe, is our second very special sponsor for this Monday's very special edition of the Big Quiz Thing, the Hail to the Trivial Presidential Quiz Spectacular. And how apropos it is: Starting on Saturday and running through the 25th, Housing Works presents Geek Week: 30 percent off sci-fi books, comics, vintage vinyl, all the awesome crap you wish you had a basement to keep in. Plus, some "live geekery": readings, concerts, a screening and—wait, really?—something called "Live Book Nerd Jeopardy." (Anyone for fielding a BQT supergroup? Watson won't be there.)

All the events are free, so no point in HWBC kicking in tickets, but Rachel will be supplying the presidential prize haul with some fine, fine volumes of historical importance: biographies of Lincoln (first President with a beard), Franklin Roosevelt (a character in the 1977 Tony winner for Best Musical), Obama (most followed politician on Twitter, just a few more than me) and Hamilton (not a President, but on the $10 bill, so a lot of people think he is), plus various other presidential-literary goodies. Score score score.

Monday night, Crash Mansion, 7:30pm, da-DA-da-DAAH-da-da-DA-da-DA-da-DAA-DAAA! (That's supposed to be "Hail to the Chief.")
