The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
The Austin Chronicle and Fadó Irish Pub will sponsor an adult spelling bee immediately following the Spellbound screening and Q&A. Spelling-bee hopefuls must attend the Doc Tour screening (and hold on to their ticket) to take part in the bee; those interested will take a preliminary written test at the Drafthouse to determine who advances. The top 10 applicants will then battle it out at 9:30pm at Fadó (214 W. Fourth) for a variety of prizes.
