so anyone tried out before? it's from 8 - 5 at a big mall inside Dave and Busters, any idea how early I need to be there, should I camp out? or just go at 5 am?

Lotsa Luck!

Any way you can talk to Dave & Busters (who might have been alerted by the production company about what to expect, so they could arrange crowd control, if needed)?

i play trivia weekly at a bar for the last 3 years seen lots of the same questions on the show. I figure I can get to 25,000 then I get a free guess for 50,000 and hell I may know the 50,000 question which could potentially put me at 100,000 which would almost pay off my house. well maybe not after taxes,damn those taxes.

NTN? Yeah, I must have spent thousand$ at clubs and bars across America eating and drinking while answering those questions! It's diabolical the way they'd get you to hang around for a whole evening spending money just to answer rather meaningless questions.

I hope you go all the way!

And then become the spokesman for NTN's new ad campaign.

After your post above I thought I saw an allusion to ntn in your nick.

I was show biz and entertainment or general knowledge. My best buddy was sports and general info.

I think we could have downed some beers if we'd ever teamed up at NTN. I love music but I'm not that well versed in it.

Speaking of which, have you seen the awesome music memorabilia (original posters, photos, tickets, backstage passes, apparel, videos, audios and etc.) that are being made available for sale from the late rock promoter Bill Graham's collection?

You won't BELIEVE the richness and variety of the stuff by classic performers. Millions of items.

Check it out.
