So I have this recurring nightmare where I’m on stage, the lights are blinding, my palms are sweating like crazy, and I’m alone at the microphone. Then a booming voice says to me, “SPELL FLOCCINAUCCINIHILIPILIFICATION.” (yes that is a real word!)
Luckily, adult spelling bees aren’t as intense as the ones you remember from 4th grade. They’re way more relaxed, more fun and you know, you can drink now, so that helps.
On Thursday, May 20th at Threadgill’s World Headquarters, The Austin Chonicle will host the 8th annual Adult Spelling Bee.It costs only $3 to enter and all proceeds benefit the Faulk Central Library. Registration begins at 4:30 PM. For more information, go to the Chronicle’s event page.
Dust off your dictionary and pull out the flash cards, you’ve only got two weeks to get ready.
