Trivia and Free Comics - Tonight @ 7:30




 

You may not follow my non-trivia posts, but I am trying to clear out my basement by selling off a ton of my comic collection.
(Possibly literally a ton - longboxes are heavy.)

Details are here.

I have cleared out a bunch of oddballs and doubles, and anyone who shows up at trivia tonight can take home some free comics.

Hope to see you there!

Tonight's PRESHOW Q (here AND the FB page):



What magical superhero is affectionately known as "The Big Red Cheese"?

ORIGINAL POST FROM 5/16:
Hi All,


I have a ton of comics that I am looking to get rid of trying to find a new home for. I know the shops are not always interested in buying big collections.

I am thinking of bundling them into sets and selling them on one of the local FB sites, or through here. I am trying to gauge interest before I go through everything. It's a lot of runs from late 90's through about 2005-7 (Marvel, DC, Vertigo, Dark Horse and indies), and a TON of b-list titles from the 70s and 80s (Think Marvel Two-in-One, Defenders, Marvel Teamup and more).



Just a small selection

I plan on putting bundles together for 5-10$ for 20-50 comics each.

Is there any interest? Can you think or a better way to do this?

Let me know - comics@aktriv.com.

Thanks

-tpn

In Trivia We Trust! Barmacy at 7:30




 Today is the 107th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey v. United States, one of the most significant cases in early anti-trust law. Standard Oil was broken into dozens of smaller companies.  Today, many of them have reformed into beloved environmental crusader, ExxonMobil

Truly, this is the best of all possible worlds.



Tonight's PRESHOW Q (here AND the FB page):



What other hallowed and venerated modern corporation and member of the S&P 500 can trace its start to a business that was opened up 77 years ago today?

Triviators of Akron UNITE! You have nothing to lose but your dignity - BACK at BARMACY!







Hey All,


Last Call Trivia is back in Akron, with a new show starting at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, May 1

(Yes, I am hosting. . . )

Some of you may recognize it from a short engagement I had when they were still in the Valley.

They have moved from there into Highland Square, and upped their food and drink game considerably.

There is a $3 craft beer special, and prizes for first ($20) and second ($10) places.
(Prizes are gift certificates, and good for food only.)


Please check them out on Facebook.

On a very personal note, thank you to all of you who offered me emails and messages of support and show suggestions.  I really appreciate it, and I am thrilled to have a local show again!
