Wednesday, April 23rd: first-ever Vocabulary Tournament!

For those of you who find it easier to make your way to events in Manhattan...

For those of you who always balked at coming along to a spelling bee...


I now present the first-ever Vocabulary Tournament at Chelsea Market!



This Wednesday, April 23rd

Chelsea Market, 75 9th Ave bet. 15th and 16th
(In the main area - just walk in the front door and keep walking straight, about halfway through the building - we are situated right in between a beer vendor and an espresso bar)
6:30pm - Articulate Music by vaudevillian Al Duvall
7-8:30 - Vocabulary Tournament - Open to the first 20 signups! Co-hosted by librarian and spelling winner Jonathan Lill.
8:30-9 - The Know-It-All Show
9-10 Closing Set by Al Duvall
The Vocabulary Tournament will consist of a mix of synonyms questions (Which word means 'talkative'?, followed by four options), themed questions (How many babies = septuplets? What anniversary is a vigentennial?), and opportunities to define words or use them in a sentence in a manner either correct, or humorous, or both. All are welcome (open to first 20 signups).

"The Know-It-All Show," in which an "expert" is interviewed on some thing we all might learn to do ourselves -- this week, burlesque illustrator Molly Crabapple will teach us all "how to draw the female figure." There will be a live model.

Come, resplendent in your pulchritude and alacrity!
