I was in the New York Times today, in an article about the spelling bee. There is a lovely photo in the print version (I've copied the tiny cropped one from the online version below).
Here's a nice bit from the article:
While challenging, the bees are decidedly less anxiety provoking than their school counterparts. Occurring well after sunset, adult bees are more like unscripted cabaret shows than cutthroat competitions. "Spelling bees for kids are kind of cruel," said Jennifer Dziura, 26, a comedian and an M.C. of the bee at Pete's Candy Store, which takes place every other Monday. "We have three strikes and you're out, and moral support applause."
I sat next to a lady on the subway who was reading the Style section with my article ... she was right next to me, almost touching me with a picture of me.
