Like to drink? Love to spell? How about combining the two a-c-t-i-v-i-t-i-e-s? Every Friday night, the Rock & Roll Hotel hosts their own grown up version of a spelling bee D.C. drinking game, in which you spell your way to first prize. $60 bar tab? You bet your Hooked On Phonics tapes there is!
I have to be completely honest - I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to stuff like knowing that the e comes before u in maneuver and there are two t's in poinsettia. If you, too, enjoy an evening of mental stimulation, then the Spelling Buzz is a bar competition for you!
Here's the deets: Beat the after-work traffic and show up by 6 P.M. if you want to participate - they randomly select 20 names from the sign-up sheet. You must have a drink in your hand every round - oh, interesting. And, wait for it . . . the MC can make you sip it whenever he wants to. Even more interesting. Non-spellers are welcome to watch, point and laugh when 8 P.M. rolls around and the verbal challengers carry their beers to the podium, tipsily trying to recall if camaraderie is with a c or k. There's no price tag on such entertainment [it's free!].
