After our first Pub Quiz in 2007, the New York Times’ Katherine Q. Seelye apologetically had to explain to her readers that our participants were not booing Mother Theresa herself; only the fact that almost no one had correctly identified her as the answer to a question. This year, expect more of the same, only louder: a raucous celebration of our Netroots community, anchored in a group trivia contest which has had rounds ranging from Political Resurrections to Famous Wolverines to Detroit Song Lyrics to an all-Joe Biden category. We’ll supply the refreshments, prizes, and a lot of good trivia; you bring the teams of 8-10 and the chanting, but please, for the love of God, leave the vuvuzelas at home. (Don’t have a team yet? No problem: they’ll form on-site as well.) We can keep the room peanut-free, but I am making no promises about the questions.
