Homeowners!

I left New York yesterday. A few days from now, @chambermonster and I will officially be homeowners in Philly. My stuff is staying in Brooklyn until I go back for it in a few weeks, but it’s all packed up and ready to go.

In Philadelphia, pub trivia is known as “quizzo,” so Sequoia’s weekly event is cleverly dubbed Sequizzo (or, if you don’t have time for all those syllables, Squizzo). This week’s theme was rock and roll, and when I was asked to commandeer a round, I decided to focus on fictional bands. My questions are… See more →
