Jon Stewart, Sufjan Stevens, Dave Eggers, Sarah Vowell, & John Roderick | An 826NYC Benefit show
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, 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."
Tickets go on sale Thursday (thx Erik). That makes three upcoming Sufjan shows.

Orch E dead center.... what are the chances this show will sell out? I feel like it hasnt gotten the promotion it deserves for such a lineup of speakers and artists.. One mention ont he Daily SHow and I think that will set it off...
