It was a duel for the ages, but eventually, my light sabre sliced off Steve Farnham’s metaphorical hand in the Spelling Bee at Nerd Nite Duluth, at the Zuccone.

The qualifying round, designed by Lawrence Scott Lee…

… with no one scoring better than 70%.

The overall Nerd Nite vibe was a little more chill than in past nights — the Nerdigras drink special putting an absinthe vibe to the place. But it was amazing fun.

Thanks to these nerds:

The third one who pretended to be old enough to see Star Wars in the 1970s.
