I'm willing to believe that I'm a weirdo for this one, but hitting up a free spelling bee sounds like a blast. Eighty middle schoolers attempting to spell "psammophile," "zwitterion," and "schistorrhachis?" This is an environment Christopher Guest could only dream of conjuring up. Anywho, don't sleep on the cuteness of the King/Snohomish County Regional Spelling Bee, which sees smarty-pants middle-schoolers from King and Snohomish Counties knock out words like "feuilleton" and "scherenschnitte." (I may still be mad that I lost a spelling bee in '99 by misspelling "phosphorescent," but these kids still have a shot at greatness.) Seattle Radio Theatre founder and KIRO Radio’s producer, host, and historian Feliks Banel will emcee the brainy event.
