, and there were no "only vowels left" beeps, but the used-letter board did show "VOWELS ONLY". For the BR, I had "FANCY MUSIC". After the show, I received another blinky pin and saw Laura by the doors conversing with her family in a frustrated tone about the Speed-Up. I don't remember what she said, but I think she was mad that she was so determined it was "MARVIN". I told her "good job" as I stepped out. Would have loved to see a MDW+WC BR. This session wasn't really great IMO, but I really wish I had stayed for the later one. I missed some good stuff there.
