Test your skills at Geo Carcamo’s Trivia Tuesdays at beergarden. Contestants can expect to go head-to-head with over 10 teams in a trivia frenzy from around 7 to 9 pm. Trivia Tuesdays are the perfect excuse to drink on a weekday and engage in some friendly competition with their buddies. “It’s fun to be able to bring together a group of people and test what you know a little bit personally,” Carcamo says.

Trivia Tuesdays are more than your average trivia night; they’re an entertainment experience. Carcamo’s charisma keeps the crowd engaged and the atmosphere bright. “I feel like if you pay attention, you feel like you’re a part of it,” he says. By including questions about seasonal themes, pop culture references, and current events — it’s sure to challenge even seasoned trivia goers.

Carcamo keeps the competition fierce but inclusive as teams put their heads together — all hoping to snag that top prize. “I want to make my trivia be attainable, like not so easy — but something that’s medium level,” Carcamo says.

Carcamo says he started Trivia Tuesdays in late 2021 as a way to bring the community together after the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think that people just are looking for community and a way to connect with their friends,” Carcamo says. So, if you’re looking for a fun, exciting way to spend your Tuesday evenings, head over to beergarden for Trivia Tuesdays with Geo. “We’re here to have a good time, and I think the numbers show through how many people play,” Carcamo says. — Eve Weston

A Note From the Publisher

Dear Readers,

The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.

That’s because of you!

Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.

Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.

We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.

And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.

None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.

As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.

Thank you for standing with us!
