Brooklyn Superhero Supply Company

The store is a front for 826NYC which does after school drop in tutoring, field trips and workshops. They are really cool. They are open during the day and close at 5:30. They sell everything a superhero might want, x-ray goggles, invisible jet planes, capes. They even have a cap testing machine because buying a defective cape could be disastrous. (It blows wind on a kid trying on a cape.) Very fun place!

I know you guys hate kids and all, but you should reallyknow about the 826 project. It was started in San Francisco by Dave Eggers and the McSweeney folks. There are writing workshops for kids of all ages, and drop-in homework help. The tutors are professional writers and educators who work on a volunteer basis. For anyone lucky enough ever to have visited "the back", it is a wonderland of books and computers and learning. It looks like a wonderful shabby parlor - not a stuffy classroom. Very relaxed.

It is also a not-for-profit organization, and takes all kids - project kids, private school kids....you name it. It's programs are innovative.

Please spare me and don't write apost about "what is "Puppetworks".
