For the first time ever, the beer bottle and the punctuation mark have been cleaved together in glorious matrimony.
It's the first EVER Beer 'N Grammar Night at 826LA in Venice!
What is Beer 'N Grammar Night? It's a (writing) class revolution. You, the lucky friend of 826LA, arrive at the SPARC Center on Venice Boulevard, home of the famous Venice drop-in tutoring program ... and the revolution commences. From 7:00 to 8:30, learn to use grammar with the smashing power of so many bourgeoisie tractors being driven off a cliff in Kamchatka into the Bering Sea. And you do it with the help of our special guest instructor, BG.
Brad Gilbert has been teaching since the last century: 1990, to be exact. Having an ear for language and a love of writing he gravitated to the best platform for teaching the essence of language: grammar. Working with students primarily in elementary school, Brad has developed a comprehensive program for building language skills of all genres through grammar. From pre-writing to editing, from vocabulary building to public speaking, Brad has nurtured his love and found a way to share it with others.
Don't miss the beer. Don't miss the grammar. Doors open to everyone at 6:30, and drinkers are strongly encouraged to reserve a spot here at rsvp@826la.org.
