For making last night's Spelling Bea Arthur so very EPIC!
Last night's spelling spectators, and even the people who just thought they were going to go to the Flat to drink, did Greensboro proud and broke a HypePipe Citywide Spelling Bea Arthur participation record.

The inaugural season of PALS begins this fall. Just letting you know.
In case you weren't aware, PALS is the funniest Internet sitcom about Greensboro ever made. Earlier this summer, we got our sweaty little hands on this clip of the opening credits, and we haven't been able to put it down since. Keep your ears to the grounds people, because come September, Greensboro will be spelled P-A-L-S.

Sit as close to the front as you can, even if it's not your assigned seat, until a music docent asks you to leave

As far as this blog is concerned, you're all winners!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for last week's Spelling Bea (Arthur). Give us microphones and signs and we will give you a night of hot spelling action. Spellers and non-spellers alike made it an occasion to remember. And if we ever forget, we'll just do it again. THANK YOU!
