Arr, Arr and Away!

superhero.gifAs Aimee and I get ready for our trip to San Francisco next week, I’ve been doing some research on things to see and do. After a memorable visit to the McSweeney’s Store in Brooklyn last summer, and an unsuccessful visit in January when we found it boarded up, I checked in on what’s going on at McSweeney’s West, 826 Valencia. In addition to the writing center there, they boast a pirate supply store we hope to hit when we’re in town. While checking this out, I came across news of their new space for tutoring and workshops, “826NYC” (at 273 Fifth Ave. in Brooklyn, not 826, sadly), which, I’ve just learned, will soon feature the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co., set to open this month. Pirates on the West Coast, superheroes on the East, Dave Eggers is taking care of your needs.
