Trivia nights been a bit....dull lately? Need more of a challange? We suggest hitting up Highland Kitchen in Somerville for a night of noisy, lively weekly....wait for it.... spelling bee.
Tiernan wields the words and definitions, while Pierce adds a little emphatic onomatopoeia (can you spell that?) to the participants’ performances with an arsenal of keyboard, kazoo, whistle, and gong thingys, upping the giggle factor. For spelling such crazy words as "duiker" (a small to medium-sized African antelope species) or lederhosen (the German leather breeches) or minimifidianism (we can't even find that one in our dictionary, but it purportedly means a minuscule degree of faith, such as what we have about our own public spelling skills), you can win a few new friends and maybe a Highland Kitchen gift certificate.
It usually gets crowded, so sign up early, grab some Buffalo-fried Brussels sprouts and one of the craveworthy house cocktails, and engage your brain with the good-time spirit of a wacky, adult spelling bee.
For more information visit Highland Kitchen's website. They are located at 150 Highland Ave.
