Pitchfork

We'd like to congratulate 826 writing centers across the country on a fundraiser well done, as today we witnessed our first Revenge of the Bookeaters success story: Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard. This A+ learner managed to post a slew of new tour dates on his website with maximum grammar and minimum typos. Attaboy!

Clearly and concisely (in "list" format, if you will), Gibbard was able to communicate to fans his intention to launch a hefty North American tour late next month alongside Ted Leo/Pharmacists, Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, and treadmill enthusiasts OK Go. The trek will wrap up come December.
