I had a lot of banter with excellent host Adam about my name. They give you a free beer, which I didn't take. Host: "But Bri is an anagram of Beer!" Me: "Not the way I spell it, it's just B-R-I." Host: "Bri is an anagram of... IRB!" Someone else "Rib."

Robert, Leila, Andy and I sat eating pizza before the bee, and Andy, Leila and I tied for 3rd, knowlingly leaving the stage at the same time when the other two spellers got their words right. Ah well, it was a good exit.
