LOL, why did stuff like this never happen when I was in the bee? =Þ The most 'interesting' thing that happened was Akshay Buddhiga fainting back in... I think 2004.
I'm definitely going to try to catch the Bee on TV this year.
Let's hope the move back to ESPN means the Bee is treated as a serious competition again and not as a cutesy-wootsie kiddie show, which was how ABC tried to do it (those silly interviews in that half-sphere seat? Please!).
This week marks the third (I think) anniversary of when I began to read the blog, or close enough, anyway. I came for the Bee coverage 3 years ago, but stayed for the rest of the awesomeness that is ALOTT5MA. Thanks!
I live in West Lafayette (home of Samir) and a month or so ago, the Purdue Theatre Department put on The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, which I had never seen before. They had four audience members come up on stage to participate (I assume this is a regular part of the play). Guess who was one of the volunteers during the show I attended? Samir Mishra! The other three people were given words like C-O-W at first and then given a hard word later to get them off the stage, but Samir was given difficult words from the beginning (and of course spelled them right). He eventually spelled one wrong but I have to assume it was on purpose. My husband thought I was crazy but I felt like I was meeting a celebrity!
I remember reading that Katharine Close did the same thing at a "Putnam" performance. I think they had to ding her out on a word she got right just to get her off the stage :-)
What's going to happen with the NBA finals game on Thursday at 9:00 - doesn't that have to be on ESPN? They can't bump the Bee, but will they bump the NBA, or put them on ESPN2?
Samir: whatever insight you can provide, either as to your own experience or this year's competition as it progresses. Email me at acbonin (at) hotmail dot com to discuss (or just send me stuff). For example: having achieved so much your first trip to the Bee, how did that (and your subsequent trips) affect each year's preparation?
I never believed in casting spells, but I tried your spell for fun. Two weeks after I cast the Money Spells the supervisor of different branch called me up and offered me a job. This was out of the blue - and a twenty percent raise! I'd been waiting for something more challenging, and now I have it. gbocotemple@yahoo.com

Thank you for helping me to get my lovely partner back in my life. I am so blessed that you used a non forceful way of uniting and reuniting us. Our past, presence and future seems to have all merged into one. (Dr ekadu) ekaduspell@hotmail.com You told me that everyone has a compatible soul mate whether in their life or waiting to come into their lives. I am glad its my partner of old. I did not want to really go and be with someone else.. You have removed the extra baggage that has been affecting us and holding us back. Peace to you. Janice

Is it Wednesday? My TiVo lists the semifinals and finals on ESPN (thank god no ABC) on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteWednesday is ESPN3 (online only) for the two oral preliminary rounds; Thursday is ESPN for the semis and finals.
ReplyDeleteTiVo is set. My reservations at Next are the same night, which I really should have checked before booking...
ReplyDeleteDarn it, that was me.
ReplyDeleteLOL, why did stuff like this never happen when I was in the bee? =Þ The most 'interesting' thing that happened was Akshay Buddhiga fainting back in... I think 2004.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to try to catch the Bee on TV this year.
Will Shonda have time for us again?
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the move back to ESPN means the Bee is treated as a serious competition again and not as a cutesy-wootsie kiddie show, which was how ABC tried to do it (those silly interviews in that half-sphere seat? Please!).
ReplyDeleteAck! That was me!
ReplyDeleteSo, who does everyone like as a favorite?
ReplyDelete1) Laura Newcombe
or
2) The Field
?
This week marks the third (I think) anniversary of when I began to read the blog, or close enough, anyway. I came for the Bee coverage 3 years ago, but stayed for the rest of the awesomeness that is ALOTT5MA. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCan we agree that this is the second straight year with no super-obvious favorites except for, I guess, Laura? There's no five-timers in the mix.
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for Laura, I'd be looking for 275-sided coin to flip.
ReplyDeleteUm ... is this *the* Samir? Because you've got some fans here. (And even if you're not, welcome aboard.)
ReplyDeleteI hope it is. That would be a welcome addition to our expert commentary. What about Cat Cojocaru? Is she back this year?

ReplyDeleteCat says she'll be around Thursday night.
ReplyDeleteWhat's going to happen with the NBA finals game on Thursday at 9:00 - doesn't that have to be on ESPN? They can't bump the Bee, but will they bump the NBA, or put them on ESPN2?
ReplyDeleteBee is on ESPN, NBA Finals on ABC.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! That's a good swap for us.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is. I got linked to the blog by JJ Goldstein, who I think was sending an email to a whole bunch of spellers for a "then and now" post.
ReplyDeleteWhat type of commentary?
For clarification -- I'm old school. Samir Patel from Texas. Not Sameer Mishra from Indiana.
ReplyDeleteSamir: whatever insight you can provide, either as to your own experience or this year's competition as it progresses.
