Jon Stewart! How I love him.

826NYC BENEFIT @ THE BEACON THEATER, NYC - AUG 23, 2006 8:00PM
"826NYC and The Bowery Presents present REVENGE OF THE BOOK-EATERS, a star-studded night featuring some of today's most recognized names in indie-rock, literature, and comedy, including SUFJAN STEVENS (in a rare solo acoustic performance), JON STEWART (in an equally-as-rare stand-up performance), DAVE EGGERS (best-selling author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), SARAH VOWELL (best-selling author and This American Life contributor), JOHN HODGMAN (Daily Show regular and author of The Areas of My Expertise) and JOHN RODERICK (songwriter and frontman for The Long Winters) in an evening that promises once and for all to settle the debate: words or music - which is better?"
"The evening will benefit 826NYC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students aged 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills and to helping teachers inspire their students to write."
I don't know, man, the tickets are like $50...is it worth it? I think it probably is, but that means my Second Life avatar won't be getting the latest thigh high sports socks from American Apparal, and I I have a feeling that her social stock will just plummet.
But really, I kind of want to. Anyone want to come?
