This Monday: The BQT in Hoboken!

Last night, I took the PATH (which, oddly, explicitly bans food from its cars, unlike MTA trains) down to the state of my conception, N to the J. The BQT is making is debuting in Hoboken, Monday night, at Black Bear Bar & Grill. It's an experiment—a smaller venue than what we're used to in the big city, but still with video magic in full effect. And hey, only $5 cover, with a $100 grand prize (yeah, yeah).

So last night, I tripped down there, spreading the word at a handful of Tuesday night bar trivia events. (Or trying to…an ornery bar-manager dude and a gaggle of loud NJ Devils fans made it a challenge.) But, it's clear that despite any postfrat stereotypes, the good people of the 'Ken appreciate having their useless-knowledge centers tested, and are primed for the mind-boggling trivia experience that is the Big Quiz Thing. And no, it won't all be sports questions. Or beer questions. And I won't be wearing a baseball cap (but EDP may be in a hoodie).

We coming correct with some of the quiz's marquee games—Rebus-O-Rama, Slooow Songs, many of our greatest trivia hits—along with the usual panoply of Smart-Ass Points, Lightning Round, Three-Way Finale, all that good stuff. Tell your Garden Stately friends, or cross the Hudson yourself and have an unfair advantage, having heard some of these questions before.

It's this Monday, April 26, at the Black Bear Bar & Grill, 205 Washington St (like, a six-minute walk from the PATH station), at 7pm. Admission is $5, and there is a $100 grand prize, and Black Bear's kicking in gift certificates and what not. Tell us you'll be there.
