So one of my favorite web comics, Penny Arcade is having this fundraiser dinner for their charity, Child's Play. It also happens to benefit Oakland Children's Hospital. I'd like to go, but the dinner's in Washington. Any other swanky events I can attend?

Oh, and ps. Here's some links to some of my favorite PA strips: Twisp and Catsby, An older one about Neverwinter Nights, My Brain is Coming Out!, Perfect Eternal Jackass, and Meat is murder. Ok, so many of these won't make a lot of sense unless you know something about the relevant video game. The strip itself has improved vastly in terms of the quality of the drawing in the last few months. I think the cartoonist just had a baby (well his wife had the baby). Could it be related?
