HI Everyone,
I want to let you know of all the great shows happening in the next couple of weeks, especially those with FGS tellers in them.
Tomorrow, Monday, Bar Stories is hosting their show in Shoreline. It’s a pretty new show so it’d be great for people to come out and help them get going. One of their producers, Nick, told a fantastic story with us last month and I’d love for some FGS tellers to add Bar Stories to their list of places to tell.

Also Monday, Chris Spengler, someone who has been telling at FGS for years, is doing a solo show for Under The Rainbow. It’s a Zoom show so you can enjoy it from your couch 🙂
The lovely folks at 7Stories are holding their monthly show in Burien at the Highline Museum on Friday, March 22. It’s an open mic so everyone is welcome to tell. Click here for the theme and details https://www.meetup.com/7-stories/
One of the tellers we met during our pandemic Zoom shows is in Moth GrandSlam this month! Harjas Singh, who has told some beautiful stories with us, will be onstage March 22 at Seattle Town Hall. I hope some of you can go and cheer him on.

Lastly, The Sun magazine is always looking for the kind of stories we tell at FGS. They have a new theme each month in their Readers Write section. I just got a piece in the February issue and would love to see some familiar names in future issues. It’s always a thrill to see your name in print and The Sun is something you can be proud of writing for. Connie, one of our regular tellers, has also been published there. If they accept your submission, you get a free one-year subscription. You don’t need to be a subscriber to send them a story for Readers Write https://www.thesunmagazine.org/submit/readers-write
That’s all I have for now. I hope some of you are working on stories for our next show on March 21. The theme is “Stories of realizing you’re going to make it.” Click here for more information https://www.meetup.com/fresh-ground-stories/events/299374332/
See you in a couple weeks!
