Where Is My Mind? pop quiz Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Think you know why there were Explosions in the Sky? Reckon you can pinpoint Okkervil River on a map? Convinced your local tailor could rustle you up an Archie Bronson Outfit? Adamant you read about the Neko Case coming to court? If so, this is the quiz for you! Brought to you in association with London's King's Head dive bar (The Luminaire's slutty little sister), Where Is My Mind? will be bringing its fiendishly bloody fun book of questions to EOTR 2009, for an hour in The Pavilion on Sunday afternoon at 3.30pm (free entry; team registration from 3pm, straight after the comedy finishes; maximum team size 8; we’ll be done and dusted by 4.30pm). And in a personalised twist, (almost) all the questions will be about artists playing this year's festival, or those who've graced EOTR stages in the past. We say almost all – we don’t want to give everything away! Just turn up with your hangover and your medicinal cider, and we'll provide the pens, paper and list of entertaining head-scratchers. Prizes will range from CDs and band merch to, uh, some other exciting things we've found down the sofa. No guarantees of course, but you might get questions about anyone from Badly Drawn Boy to Holly Golightly; from Robyn Hitchcock to I'm From Barcelona; from The Wave Pictures to Kimya Dawson; from Joan as Police Woman to Jeffrey Lewis; from Scout Niblett to Billy Childish. And probably Michael Jackson. Gotta have some Jacko in there... x @CharlieNumber4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where Is My Mind? pop quiz Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Many thanks to everyone who made the first Where Is My Mind? festival quiz such a roaring success at End of the Road 2009! Congratulations to I Love Crisps, the winning team who steamed ahead of the competition despite only being two-strong - the pair took away £50 in Rough Trade vouchers (thanks to RT's Pete Donne for the generous donation!) and a big pile of CDs from me. Don't forget - if you're in London (and even if you're not, come to think of it) the Where Is My Mind? music quiz happens on the last Wednesday of every month at The King's Head dive bar, right underneath The Luminaire on Kilburn High Road. Hope to see you there! If you're inclined towards Facebook, join the group here , and feel free to follow us on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/charlienumber4 Bye, and hopefully see you next year!

shoebox Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks for the CDs and a thoroughly entertaining hour. Spent a while trying to decide what not to buy at the Rough Trade stall. Very difficult decision.

Where Is My Mind? pop quiz Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I popped in to Rough Trade later on Sunday and the guy said you'd already been in and were "clearly delighted" so that's grand. The prize at the regular London quiz is half the day's kitty for the winners (so it depends how many people are playing) and beer behind the bar for 2nd and 3rd places; we've also got a cash Jackpot which rolls over if it isn't won - it currently stands at around £150! Hope everyone else who took part in this year's quiz had fun - let us know your thoughts and we'll bear them in mind for next year. Too easy? Too hard? too long? Not silly enough? It's hard to say...
