Last Thursday, every single story made me smile. We started the night with what happens when you get too close to the wrong end of a hippo, and ended the evening with a sweet, ethereal story of a father fading away from Alzheimer’s. We also had our first story duet with Bob and his sister Kate, taking turns on the mic, telling different parts of the same story from their own perspective. Such a night!
Special thanks to all the newcomers in the audience that night. I know most of you had no idea what you were getting into. I hope each of you heard at least one story that touched you.
When I got home, I saw that I had enough left in Mr. Coffee to give one more person a free annual membership to the Swedish Club. The first person to email me will get it!
Our next show is July 17. The theme is “It’s Never Too Late.” I’ll get the invite out as soon as I can. Themes are just suggestions, and you can tell a story on any theme as long as it follows our usual rules and guidelines.
If you don’t want to wait until our next show to tell a story, there are a couple of great shows coming up that would love to have you 🙂
Our friends at 7 Stories have their show this Friday. Suggested theme is “Rude Awakenings”
The next Bar Stories is Tuesday, July 1 in South Seattle at the Machine House Brewery. No theme, just bring your mind and your moxie.
The next FGS free online story workshop is Sunday, July 13
I’m always happy to help you work on stories if you can’t make the monthly workshop. Send me a direction email at freshgroundstories@gmail.com, and we can set up a call.
Have a great wee,k everyone!
