Tonight's Festivities: A Preview


This is the first time I'm putting together the audio round at work (I'm working on getting that occasionally annoying skipping-disc issue out of the way, and just making sure it's not the burner at home), so if there's a round on Great Epistemologists or something where the audio round should be, you'll know the experiment was a failure.

Prizes this week, aside from the usual bar tab silliness ($25 for 1st place, $15 for second, $10 for 3rd, same as downtown; oh right, we kind of are downtown), include this gorgeous hardcover volume of every Sunday Comic featuring Opus, the original marching penguin. (There was a stretch in the 80's where Berkeley Breathed was the best newspaper cartoonist in the business.) It lists for 30 bucks, and it's now out of print, so this is kind of a big deal. Also we've got some swag from the now-defunct WB network, including a ball cap signed by Nick Von Esmarch. That's right. Nick. Von. Esmarch.

Don't say we don't take care of you.
