Prize sponsor: The New-York Historical Society

Naturally: Since the Big Quiz Thing TV show was filmed in New York, is on a New York city network, is all about New York, and stars EdP and me—two people who've lived in New York longer than we sometimes care to realize—it only make sense that one of our primo prize sponsors for the Sneak Preview TV Screening Party and Live Quiz is the museum that's all about New York's past (and present). Thus we're giving away…

Tickets, books, etc., from the New-York Historical Society

We're old friends with N-YHS (and yes, the hyphen has a purpose), having called upon it as a prize sponsor many times, having sung its praises in this space time and again, and even having staged two live quiz events in its hallowed halls. (Including an NYC-themed event last summer that featured a game version of this video, the direct inspiration for an excellent round in the TV show.) And yes, they're throwing in more swag for the Highline Ballroom prize haul: tickets to the museum, a bunch of books and other goodies, possibly some additional surprises.

Look who says hello.

And while we're at it, currently at the museum: "Swing Time," all about NYC in the 1930s; "From Colony to Independence: 200 Years of American Painting"; lectures and special events out the wazoo; oodles of family fun on July 4; the absolutely jaw-dropping permanent collection of historical artifacts. It remains my favorite museum in New York, promotional support or no. Learn more at nyhistory.org, win more July 9 at the Highline Ballroom; tickets will make you happy.
