331 Drunken Spelling Bee Now Monthly

The Drunken Spelling Bee at 331 Club in Nordeast has gone legit (sort of). It now has a sponsor (Pabst), a monthly slot (seems likely to be the last Friday of each month) and a permanent location (331). The Myspace "press release" has more details:

The next Minneapolis Drunken Spelling Bee will be taking place on Friday, March 28th, from 7:30 pm until the last speller stands. The cost is $7 and walk-in spellers will be accepted. Registration is at 7:00 pm sharp for all spellers.

Reigning champ, Stephanie Nett will be the guest judge, along side the witty Mizz Nicole and coffee shop Diva, Library Mary. Host Jess "The Spellbinder" will be on hand to keep spellers in line and drinks flowing.

This round's spellers will be relieved to find this round's words easier and prizes better. The audience will also have more of a chance to interact and play along.

Back by popular demand, the "Underwear Round" will be making reappearing, as well as burlesque hoopster, Honey the Hot Hooper. New additions to the event include the Northeast Hula Hoop Troop, guest DJ Danny Sigelman and more.

Go, spellers! Let's hope you get eleemosynary, antidisestablishmentarianism, and otorhinolaryngological.
