03.15.10 – Spelling Bee

Time to get serious on a Monday night!

Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn hosts SPELLING BEES for adults every other Monday. So I’m thinking… if I’m already going to be out at night, why not try and be educational with it?!

After checking out their blog, it seems like a pretty chill and not so much an OMG-PEOPLE-ARE-SO-GOING-TO-JUDGE-ME kind of event.  Some of the words from last year’s finals were: imprimis, overslaugh, gramineous, avenaceous, moue, materfamilias, coetaneous, dermatoglyphics, quodlibet, moirologist, and schwerpunkt but COME ON those were the FINALS!

Although I was more of a math kid in school, I really want to try my skills at something like this.  Even if I only make it to the “C-O-I” of “coetaneous,” I will be proud to say that I entered a Spelling Bee to once in my lifetime.

So listen up people: let’s do Monday, March 15.  The signup starts at 7:00 PM and the ‘Bee starts at 7:30.  See you there?!

o-n-o-m-a-t-o-p-o-e-i-a….
