If I had 131 dollars...
The S. Dillon Ripley Center at the Smithsonian will hold an all-day workshop, "Food Writing For Food Lovers," this Saturday, led by Dianne Jacob, author of Will Write For Food: The Complete Guide To Writing Restaurant Reviews, Cookbooks, Recipes, Stories and More. In the morning, there will be workshops and tutorials to help writers find their style. In the afternoon, however, there will be three impressive appearances: Kim Severson of The New York Times, Jeffrey Steingarten from Vogue and DC's own Tom Sietsema from The Washington Post. Attendees will get to hear their words of wisdom in a panel discussion, with Severson on trends, Steingarten giving personal appearances, and Sietsema - in disguise, of course - letting us know his reviewing methodology. Sadly, though, your $131 admission won't even buy you lunch at this shindig. Would it be wrong for me to cancel on my good friend visiting from NYC and just throw this on my credit card? Sigh, I suppose so. If anyone ends up going, well, then, we're expecting an article on it. And it better be good; you're learning from the best!

The only way to learn how to write anything is to practice and/or have a mentor. This is designed to separate people who have just finished "Garlic and Sapphires" from their cold hard cash. The _only_ reason I can see going is to hear Steingarten speak, because he cracks a brother up. $131, no food? Effing crock. Posted by: Kanishka at July 15, 2005 1:19 PM I'm going, but I think Kanishka might be right -- we'll see. I saw this as a chance to meet some other foodies. There's no lunch, but maybe we'll all walk down to Sonoma and grab a bite to eat... Posted by: Jason at July 15, 2005 4:56 PM Hah- 'Will write for food' isn't anything much tho.

...I would SO be into attending this event being held tomorrow. Perhaps other Fud-readers are in better financial shape than I am.
