Since our visit to 826 Valencia, we'd been meaning to check out our very own 826 writing center. Conveniently located across the street from my hairdresser (and really at 8414 Greenwood), we hit the "Greenwood Space Travel Supply Company" after my latest trim.
We entered to find a rocket over our heads and dehydrated astronaut food on display. The space is smaller and a little more low-budget than 826 Valencia, but there are still fun toys to purchase, as well as McSweeney's and other Dave Eggers-edited fare.
Em enjoyed playing with a smoke-ring gun and a nerf-rocket launcher. Phee wrote in the "stardate log," nearly toppling over the table on which it was standing. At that point, it was time to leave. The new schedule of workshops and tutoring will be available next month. It will be great to get Emma involved there, working on her writing skills as a (gasp) 3rd grader.
