2 Cents from Jared 2.0 (Robbins, not Hawkley)

I've thought a lot about 826michigan since leaving Ann Arbor in the Fall of 2008. It's one of the topics I'm proud to talk about when it comes to recapping my vagabond-ish existence over the last two years.

A vestigial 826 Monsters t-shirt (from before the Robot takeover), one of my all-time best thrift store finds, is in my weekly rotation and I've worn it in at least 8 different countries (including Bolivia and Norway) since staking out into the world and doing an incredible job of avoiding a consistent life.

Yesterday I was on a plane home from England and the woman sitting beside me was reading the new Dave Eggers' book. I told her about 826. She was impressed. Then I watched an episode of 30 Rock and Tina Fey reminded me of Amy.
