Thank you to Best Life

Posted on June 22, 2006 by 826NYC

There are a few things we have to thank the folks at Best Life Magazine for. The first is that they threw a party on Tuesday night to celebrate the release of their summer reading issue, and to make the occassion memorable decided to give 826NYC a generous donation. The second thing is that not only did they throw a party, they know a thing or two about how to throw a party—especially choosing the food!—and so we had a wonderful time. And the last thing to thank them for is publishing original fiction. So few magazines of its kind publish fiction anymore and we think it's impressive to see one start. Rick Moody and Tom Perrotta both read from their new work and Best Life editor Steve Perrine was a wonderful host. We'd like to specifically thank Diane Burstein, Frederika Brookfield, Ashley Hackett, Stacey Fitzgerald, John Brodie, and 826 advisory board member Elissa Schappell for making the event happen. We were honored to be a part of it.
