We don't often have events after the Bee (after all it is Monday night and some of us do have to get up in the morning), but on the 11th we've got something interesting.
Passion Party! Like tupperware, sort of, but accoutrements for enhancing and exploiting passionate moments.
All genders welcome - and no cover.

Co-Champions!
A glorious field of highly accomplished spellers resulted in three champions this week.
I was so blinded by their brilliance and busy with attempts to hand out t-shirts that I forgot to write their names and winning words down!

Tag Team Winners: Peter Marie and Amanda Margaret
After many attempts (and a stint as our entertainer), Peter Marie, along with many-time Champ Amanda Margaret, prevailed in tonight's Tag Team Bee.
We had some great moments and will definitely do this again!

Winner: Rob Forester
New to the Bee, Rob beat out Norton, with whom he partnered the subsequent week, for the title.
Championship words: garbology and Jainism, which I did indeed pronounce correctly, which we determined after much analysis of the tiny slip of paper and the pronunciation key.

SPECIAL EVENT!
Tag Team Spelling!
Monday (of course), May 14th. Two-for-one cover when you sign up with a partner.
If everyone gets more chances to spell, does that mean that ALL contestants have a better shot at winning ?!?

Scintillating Spelling
Some great rounds with some brilliant spelling, and some hilarious rounds with lots of missed words - resulting in a very jolly atmosphere and a lot of mildly pensive spellers leaving and remounting the stage.

Silly Week at the Bee
We had a light turnout this week AND the musical guest bailed on us!
But it was ok, as Alexis, who is 7 years old and utterly adorable, sang us a song (I gave her a CHAMPION t-shirt, don't tell anyone) and Jacob, who was also a speller, gave an impromptu poetry reading.
We had some fun with it, and in the end were down to three great spellers, Peter Marie (who is a regular speller and also plans to perform for us in a few weeks), Temple (who was the runner-up), and Amanda Emerson, who earned a repeat win.
The winning word was THEREMIN. After Temple missed ZEBU - which is pronounced zee-byoo and is some sort of Asian humped cow - Amanda nailed theremin.
