A grown-up spelling bee with a twist! Root for a lineup of your new favorite authors as they try to spell in front of a live audience.

Want to spell yourself? Get here at 5pm to sign up. First come, first serve! As authors (inevitably) lose, we’ll call up our brave spellers to beat the authors still standing for the chance to win the Grand Prize!

Be ready for pop quiz spelling challenges with prizes and a good ole’ fashion book fair. Hive Mind Books, a new traveling indie bookstore, will be there with a curated selection of excellent new and secondhand books.

Totally free to attend, though an RSVP is required. Spectators are welcome. Spelling is NOT required if you RSVP. Bring spending money for books and beverages and remember to tip your bartender.
