On May 20, the Austin Chronicle had its annual Adult Spelling Bee at Threadgill’s. Geoff Thevenot, 4-time spelling bee champion (though not this year) and word announcer Erika Allbright (cool job!) were both on.
In an odd twist of fate, host Abigail Mahnke attended the spelling bee as “research” for the show and ended up taking 4th place in the bee. By the way: Geoff Thevenot was on Inner Views in 2006 after placing 2nd in the U.S. Scrabble Open.
