Mighty Writers, a nonprofit dedicated to getting kids excited about the written word, is hosting a writers' event for people who don't like writers' events. Executive director Tim Whitaker promises no speeches or readings, just beats from Gamble and Huff and good conversation. Admission affords you dinner (veg option available) and beer all night, and all proceeds will help fund Mighty Writers' future programs. Whitaker calls this a way of "widening [the] circle" by getting a lot of writers in the same room. You don't have to be a writer to come — you've just gotta like them.
