Storytelling opportunities

Hi Everyone,

Olympia got at least 4 inches of snow yesterday so I’m glad I didn’t have to drive home late from Seattle and end up in that. I hope everyone up north made it through without a trip to the auto body shop.

A bunch of folks wrote me to say that the link to Chris’s story wasn’t working. Here’s the corrected link: https://soundcloud.com/paul-currington/fgs-call-to-action-chris-10-27-2016

If you need to get a storytelling fix before the next FGS show in January you can check out the links below.

I’ll be telling a story that I’ve kept from my family for the last 14 years at A Guide to Visitors next Tuesday:

One of our regular’s is teaching a 3-hour storytelling class on Dec 15

The Seattle Storytellers Guild is having their annual holiday storytelling open-mic on Dec 16 (it’s free)

And if you’ve never been to a live Moth show you have a chance to tick that one off your bucket list on January 5. Tickets go fast so keep that in mind.

I’m not affiliated with any of these shows so if you have any questions click on the links and email the producers.

Thanks again for supporting FGS and all the people who get up and share their stories. I’m looking forward to seeing a bunch of you on Jan 26.

FGS weather cancellation

08 Thursday Dec 2016

Hi Guys,

It looks like the weather is going to make getting to the show and getting home afterward pretty dangerous. I don’t want anyone sliding down James St and slamming into a bus on their way home so I’m cancelling tonight’s show. It’s better to stay safe at home than risk  our necks trying to get to a storytelling show. (I also have a sneaking suspicion that it would take me much longer than the usual 1.5 – 2 hours to get up there from Olympia)

If every weather service in the country is wrong and we don’t get freezing temperatures with 2-4 inches of snow this evening I’ll take the blame for being overly cautious.

We’ll go ahead and keep the same theme for the next show on January 26 so anyone who’s been practicing will still have a chance to tell their story. https://www.meetup.com/Fresh-Ground-Stories/events/235686236/

In the meantime, I got permission from two of our storytellers to put their most recent stories online. Here is Chris’s hysterical story of her plan to find love:

And this is a sweet story of how Nathan’s life was saved by a mysterious homeless woman in the U-district:

I hope everyone has a great holiday and doesn’t spend any of it at Harborview. I’ll let you know about any other story shows over the holidays that don’t get cancelled for ice storms, blizzards, wind warnings or small craft advisories 🙂
