Back on Schedule - Trivia Refu-Jilly's Welcome!

Hi All,

Another week where I have been slammed, so this will be brief.

One of our new teams last week, The Geeky Girls mentioned that they used to go to a different Tuesday quiz night at Jilly's Music Room.  They found our show because Jilly's moved their show to Saturdays at 4pm.  That show is run by Geeks Who Drink, and it looks like they have had a decent turnout for Saturdays, but many of the regulars can't get out to that show.

I would like to formally extend an invitation to any and all refugees of the Tuesday Jilly's show - Please come on out tonight, or to any future week. 

LastCallUSA's show format is different from what you are used to (less questions, and a little more time per question), but I think you'll enjoy it.  

I am certainly not Kevin, nor am I trying to replace him.  (My jokes are probably worse, but I have been including Hamilton at any excuse since I first heard it, as well as other tunes that may be up your alley.)  

I reached out to Kevin via Twitter - GWD is looking for a new show in the area, but he doesn't have one up this way yet.  In the meantime, come on out to Frank's and meet some of the other Geek Elites of Akron.

If you mention you are a Trivial Refu-Jilly, you'll get a special prize!

TONIGHT'S PRESHOW QUIZ:
A lightning rod of innovation, this author, politician, inventor and printer hung out in London's notorious Hellfire Club with Lord Sandwich (yes that one) and was unanimously elected President of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1785.  

He celebrates a birthday today.  

Who was he?

Answer, in person, after 7:50 for a lame prize!

I recently had the pleasure of ordering their knitted dolls of a Nac Mac Feegle and The Death of Rats. They were wonderful to deal with, and the dolls were really well made.
