the main event isn't 'til thursday. my main worry is that I won't find enough people to come for the drinking game

i would definitely attend a spelling bee drinking game. what are the rules? drink if the kid fucks up?

yeah, and I guess it goes around in a circle. each person gets one kid at a time.
and then for the final two or three I guess we split the room over who we think will win and the loser has to chug

Revive in anticipation of the finals tonight. I can't decide if I'm rooting for the girl with the awesome mallpunk haircut or the kid who's "devoted a lot of time to Star Wars, Star Trek, and The Lord of the Rings."

I went to college with this guy who had been in the national spelling bee ... don't remember if he won ... but he was a total stalker creep.
