Why the Demo? Ask Scott The Quizmaster

Scott is the quizmaster at Rocky Sullivan’s in Red Hook. I don’t know him nor have I ever been to one of his quiz nights but I do, however, enjoy his emails about those quiz nights. Tonight he’ll be at the demo and will then scoot back over to Rocky’s for the quiz.

Why the demo? Because they’re giving their highest award to Bruce Ratner. Yeah, the same Bruce Ratner who’s torn Brooklyn’s heart asunder, plundered the public coffers, abused eminent domain, exploited poor peoples’ fears about housing and jobs, and turned our borough into a sickening shouting match that only people as aloof and disconnected as the Brooklyn Museum’s directors could fail to notice.
The musical performer at tonight’s $1,000 a plate event? Kanye West. Hey, Kanye…I thought you didn’t like the ones that don’t care about Black people.
A lot of us are gathering in front of the Museum at 6:30 to protest. We of the Pub Quiz Nation will leave at 8:00 pm to head over to Rocky’s to slake our thirsts, answer some questions, get dinner and blow off steam in a fun-filled, boisterous atmosphere.
Hope to see you at the Museum, and later on at Rocky’s…
Scott M.X.
Rocky’s Quizmaster
