Who loves Scrabble?

Who loves Scrabble? I do, I admit it. I want to play all the time and whenever I see a board at the bar I make a grab for it. There is a weekly Scrabble game at Gotham Tavern - in District 2 - every Tuesday starting at 6pm. It's Scrabble for a good cause; it benefits the Oregon Literacy Foundation and the Tavern owners are very generous with OLF.

This Sunday though, is going to be fun. There is Scrabble tournament for OLF:
When: Sunday, May 18, 2008 - 12 Noon until 5pm.
Where: Ringler's Pub (at The Crystal Ballroom, downstairs)
1332 W. Burnside
Portland, OR 97209
Cost: $25 per individual player/ $50 per team (2 players)

Register here to play on Sunday.

Hope to see you there!
