Meet Our MC:
"sweet pea once lost innumerable points in Scrabble because he absolutely needed to use the word “ichor” and nothing else would do. sweet pea is a bookseller at King’s Books in Tacoma where he coordinates Word Nerd events such as the annual Spelling Bee and SPITting (Smartest Person In Tacoma) Contest. He also coordinates the Banned Book Club and Board Game Geekfest at Tempest Lounge. In his spare time he studies kung fu and is a roller derby mascot." | |
