Common lore holds that the first few days of a new year sets the tone for the rest of the year. With that in mind, you'd have to be a total kwyjibo to not catch Nerd Night's Simpson Trivia on Saturday, January 3.
If your real-life memories have mostly been replaced by soundbites and anecdotes from Simpsons episodes, know that the first 10 seasons will be the subject of questions. Thanks to a drawing contest and Simpsons-themed cuisine, the night will be fun even if your knowledge of the animated family is pretty minimal.
Nerd Night: Simpsons Trivia goes down at Bragg's Factory Diner, 1301 Grand Avenue in Phoenix, from 8 to 10 p.m. Admission is free, but seating is limited. Visit www.facebook.com/braggsfactorydiner for more info. Jose Gonzalez
