It might be the height of summer, but it's time to dust off the books for the return of Litquake's Literary Pub Trivia! This summer's blockbuster sequel features even more special effects, fantastic music, and a new celebrity host: writer, LGBTQ+ advocate, and 40-time Jeopardy! champion Amy Schneider! Co-presented by Berkeleyside, this edition will feature all the challenging questions you love—on everything from Aesop's Fables to Zone One—plus special questions on Bay Area literary lore. Form a team with up to six players (or we'll match you up with some other Dickensian Orphans if you're coming solo), and compete for prizes from Litquake and our partners! Prize packages will be awarded to the three highest-scoring teams, as well as the team with the best team name. Ticket proceeds will support the Litquake Foundation. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from Gilman Brewing and Joyride Pizza. Arrive starting at 6pm to settle in and order food and drinks; the game will start promptly at 6:30. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ About Amy SchneiderLike Kim Deal, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and one of the two Wright Brothers, Amy Schneider was born in Dayton, Ohio.
