yesterday's Post?

I was quoted in yesterday's NY Post in an article entitled SPELLING HITS ITS P-R-I-M-E - KIDS LETTER RIP ON LIVE TV TONIGHT. I missed it yesterday, though, and -- rather insanely -- the Post charges for online access to articles that are just one day old. So, if anyone's got a print copy lying around, I'd love one.

Update: Thanks to Chris Faile, I have a text copy of the article! Here's the me-quote, in which I wildly speculate about our sudden cultural fascination with spelling bees:
Jennifer Dziura, who co-hosts the bimonthly Williamsburg Spelling Bee, held at the Brooklyn bar Pete's Candy Store - which has attracted "ridiculous" press attention, much of it from foreign media - offers another explanation.

"We like seeing people's pain," she says. "We certainly like seeing people compete to steal others' boyfriends on TV. This is like a smarter version of a reality show."
