Buzzed Bee

Buzzed Bee

Buzzed Bee, a twisted event that mixes spelling and drinking, takes place this Thursday, June 1st at Rx Gallery in San Francisco.

Were you permanently scarred by a childhood spelling trauma? Do you have a poster of Rebecca Sealfon over your bed? Has poor spelling on the Internet driven you to drink? Are you /still/ smarter than all of your friends? Would you like a chance to prove it?

Whether you spell “entertainment” D-R-I-N-K-I-N-G B-I-N-G-E or
S-C-H-A-D-E-N-F-R-E-U-D-E the BUZZED BEE is the answer!

Pulses will race, vocabularies will be expanded, beer will be drunk, words will be slurred, and dreams of victory will be dashed in a single round. Come to compete, or just cheer for your friends and heckle your enemies. Callously bet on who will visit “the comfort room” first. Keep an eye out for classic spelling bee contestants like “The Rich Prep School Kid” and the “Neurotic Home-Schooled Girl”. And if you’re lucky, someone will pee in their pants!
