By quizmaster
The following rules apply:
Location: La Cigale: 25 de Mayo 597 (corner of Tucumán)
Need to know more…
For those of you who are not familiar with the concept, here is a little guide to help understand what is going on.
The First Rule of Pub Quiz
What is a Pub Quiz?
It’s a general knowledge quiz held in a pub, bar or café. The attendees form teams and one person (the Quizmaster) asks the questions split into rounds. At the end of each round the questions are marked and a score is given to each team. After all the questions have been asked the team with the most points wins. In the case of a draw a tiebreaker question is used. The winning team usually wins alcohol.
What sort of questions are there?
General Knowledge can cover everything from history to music to geography to sport to everything in between. They are designed to be not too difficult, but hard enough to generate debate! You can see the questions from previous Cigale Pub Quizzes here.
Are there any rules?
Not really, the idea is to have fun. Teams of up to 6 people are allowed and it’s a good idea not to shout the answer out too loud if you know it – you don’t want to help out the opposition! In a dispute, the Quizmaster’s decision is final!
When is the next quiz?
The date of the next quiz will be posted on this site as soon as it is confirmed. At the moment it is always on a Monday evening in La Cigale. You can also use thelatest tag to see the next date.
I’m organising my own Pub Quiz – can you help?
Of course – you can use the questions posted on this site for your own quiz – they are freely available. If you need anything else, drop me a line.
The BA Mamas and their kiddos are invited for a standing playdate every other Wednesday at my house from 10:00am-12:00pm, next up, Wednesday, October 3!
I have a good sized room that can be completely closed off, and it is full of little people toys. I thought we could get together in there and chat while the babies wander around and play to their heart’s content.
Join us this week!
Wednesday, October 3, 2012 from 10:00 to 12:00.
Come on by if you’re around.
I’ll put up a reminder every other week for the next playdate.
Email Niccole de Campos niccoledecampos@mac.com to RSVP and for address. See you Wednesday!

Join Us at the BAIN Book Exchange
Date: Monday, October 15, 11:00am
Place: Palermo Viejo *contact Danielle Gold at dgold@counselingba.com for address upon RSVP
You may be aware that in August the book exchange moved to its new location
in Palermo Viejo, and made some format changes aimed at improving the
quality of reading material and fostering interesting conversations about our
books and more.
Please join us by bringing 1 or 2 really interesting books to lend or give away in
exchange for someone else’s great book. You don’t necessarily have to part
with your book, you can loan it to another BAIN member who will be held
accountable to return it. We want our book exchange to offer participants an
opportunity to access high quality reading material in English, which can be hard
to find and expensive to buy in BA. Please don’t bring books you would like to
get rid of. Instead, bring the book you would like your best friend to read.
Light refreshments & good conversation will be served
To all fellow readers,
Many thanks to a truly insightful discussion at the last Book Club get together where we discussed the work of Andre Brink, a South African author.
For those of you who have never attended the monthly bookclub, please feel free to join our next get together:
Title: The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong child, her American doctors, and the collision of 2 cultures. (available on Amazon Kindle)
Author: Anne Fadiman
Date: Thursday 8 November 2012
Time: 14h00 – 16h00
Location: Recoleta
Here is the Amazon review of the book:
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down explores the clash between a small county hospital in California and a refugee family from Laos over the care of Lia Lee, a Hmong child diagnosed with severe epilepsy. Lia’s parents and her doctors both wanted what was best for Lia, but the lack of understanding between them led to tragedy. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest, and the Salon Book Award, Anne Fadiman’s compassionate account of this cultural impasse is literary journalism at its finest. The current edition, published for the book’s fifteenth anniversary, includes a new afterword by the author that provides updates on the major characters along with reflections on how they have changed Fadiman’s life and attitudes.
Please RSVP to Lydsmiller@gmail.com to confirm your attendance and to
receive the directions.
Hope to see many of you there.
Regards,
The Bookclub Organizers
