826 Boston, Dave Eggers' less-ironic-than-usual literary endeavor, teaches kids about writing. It's a noble cause, and you can join it tonight for only $150. 826's spring benefit happens this evening at the WilmerHale Conference Center (60 State Street, 26th floor—how convenient for 826!). There will be beautiful views, talented people (Steve Almond! Julia Glass!), and copies of 2% of 2% of All the World's Stories, a book of bedtime stories by 826 Boston workshop participants. If you can't (afford to) attend tonight, the book will be on sale at 826 after the event. We're just in it for the frog wars. For the reading/writing-minded, Thursday promises a Literary Death Match to boot.



ONLY $150?!?!?
It's FOR THE CHILDREN, Rob. But, uh, yeah: I'd need more than a day's notice to come up with that kind of extra cash.
I forgot about that, L.
Hey -- you never know when you'll find a $150 bill on the street...
