Note:
Besides glory, you're competing for a host of prizes, including food, bar tabs, and tickets to the roller derby.
We've got our dictionaries out, our Spellbound DVDs in, and we're studying up on our e-t-y-m-o-l-o-g-y. Pete's Candy Store hosts this long-running spelling bee that's got us racking our brains to prove wrong our second-grade teachers and middle-school nemeses. Spellers congregate in Williamsburg and demonstrate knowledge of words extraneous to mere hipster vocab. Come cheer on the dedicated or sign up to take the challenge. With the utility of spell-check — and our parents no longer breathing down our necks — this whole spelling thing might be trickier than we remember (the alcohol probably doesn't help, either).
