Hi Everyone,
I have great news! Our usual venue isn’t available for our show next week but I found a new, bigger place for our show and it has…are you ready for this…a parking lot!
Yes, we will be telling stories at the beautiful Swedish Club which has a parking lot, a bar, an elevator, and an amazing view of Lake Union.
I don’t have time to go into how it all came together but I can say the lovely folks at the Swedish Club are excited to have us and you don’t have to be a member of the club to come to the show. Isn’t that nice? I hope a bunch of you can join me there next Thursday.
I do have one small change I’m making to the show that I think you’ll all probably like. From now on, the monthly themes will only be a suggestion. This month’s theme is, “Rising to the Occasion – Stories of doing what you didn’t think you could,” but you can tell a story on any topic as long as it follows our usual rules and guidelines.
Here’s a sweet story I just found to get you inspired 🙂
That’s all I got for now. Write me directly at freshgroundstories@gmail.com if you have any questions. The address of the club is 1920 Dexter Ave N.

Oh, I almost forgot. Next week’s show will mark our 15th anniversary. I think we’re unofficially Seattle’s longest-running personal storytelling show. I can’t believe it either. FGS has been my favorite day of the month since 2010. Thanks to everyone who has ever told a story, clapped for a first-time teller, or came up to me after a show and said hi.
See you next week!
Paul
