Screw Your Quiz, I’m Going Home, a South Park-themed pub quiz presented by Geeks Who Drink, is landing in Houston. Every week, GWD hosts almost 100 quizzes across the country. At each quiz, teams of up to six players answer eight rounds of questions (with eight questions in each round). At the end of the night, the winners typically win a bar credit, but for the Houston South Park night, there will be a cash prize. Matt Angell, operations manager for GWD, explains the event this way: “It’s a way for socially awkward individuals to have some drinks and flex their cranial muscles. It builds a sort of extended dysfunctional family.” Of course, the term “geek” was long ago transformed into a self-fulfilling badge of honor. (Translation: It’s cool to be a geek.) 8 p.m. Maple Leaf Pub, 514 Elgin. For information, call 713-520-6464 or visit www.geekswhodrink.com. Free to $5.
