Sponsor spotlight: Babeland

Okay, get ready. You will find this either hot or awkward—maybe both:

Babeland, New York City's premier women-oriented sex shop is on board with the NYC Clash of the Trivia Champions. Apropos, since the Big Quiz Thing is the world's premier women-friendly quiz event (maybe; never thought of it that way, but perhaps now I have a new marketing angle).


Babeland declares that it offers "sex toys for a passionate world," so this is not as left-field a sponsorship choice as you may imagine: Participants at the Clash of the Trivia Champions will be very passionate. See how I did that?

No confirmation yet what exactly they'll be kicking in, though it looks like it'll be a few tickets to the various workshops on offer, and maybe even items from their celebrated line of high-quality vibrators.
By the way, none of this is a joke.

Ladies, check out everything Babeland has to offer on its website. Gentlemen, check it out for a different reason, if you're inclined. And remember that if you win one of the vibrators, don't give it to a girl you like until you've been on at least a few dates first. Learn from my mistakes.

Prizes: UCB + Babeland

Pretty interesting prizes for this Monday, at (Le) Poisson Rouge. The usual $250 in cash prizes (but really, is that ever "usual"?), plus some extra goodies:ASSSCAT 3000 at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
We've given this away before, and it was snapped up quick by a tied-for-second-place team. It's back: two passes to the UCB Theatre's marquee improv show, featuring all sorts of famous people from the various spheres of the comedy world. You get to jump the line full of nerds, in other words.

And…


Classes at Babeland
I am so not making this up: Babeland, the country's premier chain of women-owned sex shops, is on board with the Big Quiz Thing. We have two passes to the Babeland class of the winner's choice: everything from chocolate tasting to how to give a proper blow job and seduce your boyfriend after the Super Bowl. (Yes, it used to be "Toys in Babeland," but changed its name to emphasize that it has a lot more than toys. Classes, for example, and a pretty interesting variety of wacky condoms.) Expect the EDP wisecracks to come hard and fast at Monday's show, pun intended.

And of course, the typical slate of other good stuff; I have a rather impressive Batman book to unload. And hey, if you work for anyone with cool items/services to hawk, let us know: info@bigquizthing.com.
