Survey Says!
There was a lot to think about in 2015. On the upside, Caitlyn Jenner emerged; same-sex marriage passed; and we can (almost) go to Cuba for honeymoons. On the other side, Paris and Beirut were hit by suicide bombers; Freddie Gray died in police custody; the U.S. was plagued by mass shootings and Donald Trump; an earthquake devastated Nepal; Charlie Hebdo and Kenya’s Garissa University were attacked; and Spock, Saruman, and Dr. Zhivago all died. With neither Jon Stewart nor Stephen Colbert’s fake news to put all this in perspective, we’re having trouble letting go and having fun. Thankfully, the Big Quiz Thing — the multimedia trivia game show that has been packing clubs in NYC for 12 years — hit town this summer, and they’re offering closure with rewards for the 2015 Flashback Trivia-o-Rama. Hosted by Noah Tarnow, the inarguably dynamic quizmaster who started it all, B.Q.T. promises bells, whistles, buzzers, and videos during five riotous rounds. This is your chance to trade in all those nasty headlines for cool prizes from Green Apple Books, the Bay Area Derby Girls, Pacific Pinball Museum, or Illusive Comics.
