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

April 22, 2008

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!
