Nothing about this yet? I got this in my email yesterday....
quote:
826CHI and JAM present REVENGE OF THE BOOK EATERS, a night that brings together songwriters, authors, and comedians for a rare literature-meets-music event, with BEN GIBBARD (in a solo acoustic performance), JOHN RODERICK (of The Long Winters), DAVE EGGERS (best-selling author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), IRA GLASS (host of public radio's This American Life), and ZZ PACKER (author of the critically-acclaimed Drinking Coffee Elsewhere) and in an evening that promises once and for all to settle the debate: words or music—which is better?
August 24, 2006 Park West 322 W. Armitage Chicago, IL
Tickets are $35 and I had no problem getting a pair when I saw the email. Finally a chance to see Ben acoustic!
