The Draught Horse has entered its winter hibernation, during which time it closes early and often. I understand that Temple's upcoming term is another early start and I'll pass along the date of our first quiz as soon as I get it.

Aiming for an audio round this week!

Wednesday, December 21, 7:30pm

12 Steps Down
9th & Christian Sts.
Subject Round: aiming for AUDIO

New amp and other audio equipment obtained this week.  I'm playing around with things - more time for this tomorrow - and if the sound isn't too treble-laden/seizure-causing I'll be doing the first audio round in some time.  If not I'll do a round of music questions.

Last Draught Horse quiz of term might happen this Thursday

Wednesday, December 14, 7:30pm

Subject Round: NUMBERS


Thursday, December 15, 9pm
The Draught Horse
Broad St. & Cecil B. Moore Ave.
Subject Round: GREEK & ROMAN MYTHOLOGY


I had thought given Temple's quite early term beginning and ending this year that last Thursday's quiz was the last of the term. At Friday night's spelling bee event management suggested that people might still be showing up to the bar as late as next week, thus we are tentatively scheduling the new last Draught Horse quiz for 2011 for the usual time on December 15. This is apparently the plan until and unless I hear otherwise (i.e. that the bar has been dead all week therefore no point in attempting to do a quiz). I will update this site immediately if I hear we're calling it off, default expect another quiz on Thursday.

Speaking of the spelling bee...  We've now had three of them.  I've asked a total of about 320 words and around 20 of those have been spelled correctly.  Is that spelling is an impossible task, or just at Temple (this I'm willing to believe; I see your quiz answer sheets every week), or just for the people who drink at Draught Horse on Friday nights?


It's going to be a busy week, I'm doing a couple of holiday office parties during the day, and Friday evening for the fifth consecutive year a quiz at the Union League for one of their Xmas shindigs.
