Cosmic Spelling Encounters
Soul singer Lyn Collins, via Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, once proclaimed "It takes two to make a thing go right." Following that wisdom, I attended my second Brooklyn spelling bee, as part of my ongoing alphabetical market research.
This particular bee, hosted by the affable & witty Josh Reynolds, is held the last Wednesday of every month at Freddy's Back Room in Prospect Heights. Freddy's kitschy, dive atmosphere is the perfect setting for this competition, providing a warm, casual ambience to an otherwise neurotic event. All ye who enter, check yer pretention at the door.
More traditional than the Pete's Candy Store version, each participant spells one word in each round. If you make a mistake, you're out; no second chances. The rounds keep going until one spellophile is declared winner.
The prize is very straightforward: Each contestant who participates pays $1, and whoever wins the bee, gets the pot. No harm, no foul. (Tonight's big jackpot: $11)
Strangely, the word I missed at Pete's (imbibition) and the word I missed at Freddy's (nephalism) both relate to drinking. From Dictionary.com:
imbibition: The act of imbibing
nephalism: Total abstinence from spirituous liquor
I drink more than one beer and usually puke. Perhaps this is some sort of strange, cosmic message.
In any case, check out Josh's spelling bee. It's fun, and the drinks are cheap.
