7Stories had some tellers cancel due to sickness and need a few more to fill out their show tomorrow night (Friday) in Burien. You can tell a story on any theme you want as long as it follows their usual rules. Click here for more info: https://www.meetup.com/7-stories/events/299082266/
Also, our new friend, Nick who opened our show last week, just sent me links to two new storytelling shows he and his partner Rebecca are running in Seattle. (Naturally, his email came two minutes after I hit send on my own email to everyone). Below is the text he sent me describing the shows.
The first show is called Bar Stories: Live on Stage.
It’s held on the second Monday of each month at Drumlin in Shoreline (in the Ridgecrest neighborhood).
Sign-up opens at 6:30, show starts at 7.
It’s open to all stories and storytellers. It’s a lot like Fresh Ground Stories, with some Q&A after each story mixed in, and then an invitation for people to come up on the fly if inspiration strikes. The link to our Facebook page is attached here:

They’re also starting a monthly storytelling workshop called Bar Stories: Sunday Salon that Rebecca will host.
The Salon begins on March 17 and will be held thereafter on the third Sunday of each month at Distant World Coffeehouse in Roosevelt (near the corner of 65th Street and Roosevelt Way). It will be an afternoon thing, running from 3-5 pm.
This will be a storytelling show that invites and incorporates feedback, note-taking, mingling, networking, etc. We’re still hammering out the details and will be launching the news this week. The storytelling portion will be about 90 minutes, after which there will be an opportunity for workshopping in small groups, giving feedback, or just casual Sunday mingling.
Contact Nick or Rebecca if you have any questions.
I love that so many new shows are popping up. Get out of the house and make a new friend. I know, it’s weird making new friends at our age. Try it anyway. The worst that could happen is you go home with a new story.
