UPDATE: There will also be a whiskey and vodka open bar from 6 to 6:30!
The Airship and Black Balloon Publishing invite you to an evening of boozing and misspelling as six contestants from New York’s literary world stumble through the hardest words in the English language one drunken letter at a time. The winner will receive a $300 dinner at The Breslin, a 3D-printed trophy from 3D NYC Lab and, undoubtedly, a vicious hangover.
