I was first introduced to the brilliant author and editor Dave Eggers a few Christmases back when I received The Best American NonRequired Reading from one of Egger's steadfast followers and the McCabe family member and witty artist himself, who displays his adoration of literature through the annual gift giving of books.Since that revolutionary year of St. Nick, my Egger collection has catapulted (which, in Dana terms, is equivalent to tripling in size - comprising my entire top row of my 5th grade-sized bookshelf) and I have become alarmingly attentive at the mention of his ongoings, if only to relay the deets to Scott. On 09.26.07, Egger will be visiting Berklee's Performance Center in Boston in support of his newly launched writing center, 826 Boston, an
extension of his first, 826 Valencia in San Francisco, opening in Roxbury this month. If you have time, I recommend checking him out. Annddd if you have even more time and enjoy writing, the center is in need of volunteer tutors.Now there's the ad bit I was going for.
