Chicago: Straight outta C2E2!

Behold, a few photos from our excellent blockbuster show at last weekend's C2E2 (Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo), courtesy sometime Chi BQT sidekick Erica Westerman. Hundreds of colorfully costumed fans played the game, with the delightfully meta-monikered Team Name claiming victory, narrowly defeating in the finale second-placers Nicolas Cage and the National Treasures, and third-place My Little Bronies.

Preshow. Yeah, geeks.

Quizmistress Katie and I confer with the Black Widow. I am not even close to exaggerating when I tell you that any major Comic Con is full of attractive—and more importantly, creatively costumed—women.

 The winners: Earned it.

Especially glorious in a venue like this.

Sorry to say it, NYC, but this was our best Comic Con show yet. (Hey, there's always next October.) Want a small taste? Can you put these Batman movie chest logos in order, oldest to most recent?


Quizmistress Katie hopes to see the Team Namers at Uncommon Ground in Edgewater this Thursday, for our next monthly Chicago show (at the special time of 8:30pm). Passes to the Adler Planetarium, $200 grand prize, extra-special goodies from the BQT prize closet that I brought to Chicago over the weekend. And yes, trivia nirvana. 8:30pm, friends.

Quizmaster Noah: The life and times


Well, how about this: I am the subject of a rather in-depth profile at the fascinating journalism website Narratively. Written by the severely talented Helaina Hovitz and photographed by Courtney Dudley (she was at our humdinger of an Oscars quiz), this article represents a unique experience for me: I get to see my mind and story laid bare as if I were an actual, real, honest-to-God celebrity (it does focus on the incipient BQT TV show, so hey, that's not completely off-base).


I can't say that I'm 100 percent happy with everything here—I hope Zach Braff never reads it, for example—but that's the media for you. And hey, I'm nit-picking: It's fair, and paints a reasonably impressive portrait of who I am and what I've accomplished. (My mom hates it, but I think she may be slightly biased.)

Judge for yourself right here. Now you know.
