LOCATION: Freddy’s on Dean near Flatbush. Probably will get underway around 8. $1 Per Round; Winner Take All. See the Events Calendar for more details. JOSH tells DH: “The bee should be extra fun tonight since I think there are going to be a fair amount of bee virgins.

BAD SPELLERS, TAKE NOTE: “Would you mention something about how a woman told me how bad of a speller she was before the last Bee I had, and she went on to win.”

QUIG checks in: “The other day, I stumbled upon this listing:

SUPREME COURT — KINGS COUNTY … AL’S REAL ESTATE, INC., plaintiff, against MAURICE GIBSON, et al, Defendants … foreclosure and sale … I will sell, at public auction, to the highest bidder … on April 7, 2005, at 3:00 p.m. … 951 Pacific Street, Brooklyn … Judgment is for $183,526.00 …

“Auction? Real Estate? P_heights? It was a Tom Vu moment. What castle could be picked up for pennies on the Euro? I decided to investigate while walking my dogs, Monster 1 and 2. What I came upon was this vision in galvanized steel and cinderblock: What could be hidden behind those walls?”
