Why? For one thing, you could win a free pitcher of beer--cool, refreshing beer--if you come in fourth place at half time. (Such a useful brain!) Or if you can answer this trivia question:

Which Batman villain is a Seattle native?

Email your response to james at seattlest.com. If you're right, you might win beer--I'll randomly select among everyone who submits the correct answer.

You do have to show up at tonight's quiz to collect your free beer, however. Or the cash prizes for first, second, or third place. Or the swag for being the end of the long tail (that's "last place").

It's the usual deal: The quiz starts at 8:00 (or a few minutes earlier) at the Old Pequliar in Ballard. Signup starts about 7:45. The whole thing should be done by 10:00. You can play on a team of up to 5 people, and it costs just $5 to play.

See you there!
